A Who Wants to be a Millionaire contestant lost a huge amount of money on a tricky tree questionJeremy praised her bravery for going for the £125k with no lifelinesAmy was on £64,000 but decided to take a punt on £125,000

He was first joined by Amy, a tourism officer from Stroud, who battled her way up the board.

After , Amy got through and set her safety net at £32,000.

She then managed to get the £64,000 question right before taking on the £125,000 question.

It was: “Which of these species of tree lives the longest?”;

She was given the options: “A) Yew, B) Oak, C) Sweet chestnut and D) Beech.”;

She immediately said with a grimace: “I kill a lot of my plants, so trees are not my strong suit.

“I know an Oak tree is very old, but I don’t know if that’s just old tales and hearing that.

“I don’t know a Sweet chestnut, and I’ve seen a Yew tree and a Beech tree but I don’t know how old they are.”;

As she debated about having a stab at it, Jeremy reminded her that if she got it wrong, she’d lose £32,000 but would go away with the £32,000 safety net.

Amy said: “I think I might as well go for it, no point in not doing it, right?”;

She then decided to go for Oak and said “final answer”; so it was locked in.

After a pause, Jeremy said: “You are unbelievably brave...but sadly wrong.”;

The computer on screen then revealed that A) Yew was the correct answer.

He added: “Oh I am sorry Amy, but I just love your attitude, and you are leaving here with £32,000 which is pretty good.”;

She guessed the wrong answer and lost £32,000 but had set her safety net at £32,000 so still left with a good amount of money
