A DESPERATE Millionaire player has used two lifelines on a tough £8k Prince question – but could you get it on first try?
welcomed Tarn Vaid, a pharmacist from Derby, to the famous black chair after he won fastest finger first.
Tarn raced through the first few rounds with ease but stumbled over a question about films and had to ask the audience.
They helped him answer correctly that the 1990s set on a bus was of course – correctly called Speed.
But he had to use another two lifelines when he was faced with the £16k question.
asked: “What is the name of the Minnesota estate that was the home and recording studio of the musician ?”;;
His choice of answers were A. Menlo Park, B. Fenway Park, C. Gosford Park or D. Paisley Park.
Tarn admitted that he had no idea so he decided to use another of his lifelines to phone a friend.
However, his friend was unsure and explained that although he thought it was Gosford or he couldn’t be certain.
Jeremy then went on to explain to Tarn that if he got the question wrong he would lose £7k and if he got it right it would be on £16k.
Tarn decided that since his friend wasn’t decisive he’d use another life line and chose 50-50 to make sure.
Left with Fenway or Paisley Park, Tarn then chose Paisley and after getting the answer right set his safety net at £32K.
Unfortunately, however he was unable to answer the question but he walked away with a massive £16k win.
It’s not the first time contestants have been forced to walk away on theITVshow.
saw a player with no lifelines forced to walk away after a difficultquestion.
June Walker, from Galashiels, got through the first few rounds, but seemed stuck on a trickyhistoryquestion.
With a possible £125,000 up for grabs, there was a lot riding on answering correctly.
The question asked: “Which of these was a plot to assassinate Elizabeth I?”;; A) Rye House Plot, B) Bye Plot, C) Babington Plot and D) Despard Plot.”;;
Having used all her lifelines earlier in the show, she was therefore completely on her own.
June had an inkling about one option but ultimately decided to play safe.
She told Jeremy: “I don’t know it well enough. No. Take themoney, final answer.”;;
As a result, she walked away having won an incredible £64,000.
