WHO Wants to Be a Millionaire fans were left stunned after spotting a major blunder during the latest episode of the hit ITV quiz show.
ITV viewers couldn’t believe their eyes when a question appeared to have a glaring mistake – sparking uproar on social media.

But did you notice the slip-up?
Sunday night’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire saw GP Neel Clements take on Jeremy Clarkson’s tough questions in a bid to bag the million-pound jackpot.
He faced a question about Henry VII’s six wives, which read: “Which of King Henry VII’s wives did he marry last, making her the one who “survived,” according to the well-known rhyme?”
The four options were Catherine Parr, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine of Aragon.
However, eagle-eyed viewers were left baffled as ITV made the mistake as all three Catherines were spelled with a K instead of a C.
Fans rushed to social media to share their views on the glaring blunder.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: “Since when was Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr spelt with a “K” as Katherine?”
Another added: “I always thought they were Catherine’s rather than Katherine #whowantstobeamillionaire.”
A third penned: “Why have they spelt Catherine wrong?”
Contestant Neel wasn’t sure on the right answer, but he correctly guessed Catherine Parr, allowing him to progress on to the next question.
But his Millionaire dream came crashing down when a dodgy phone-a-friend suggestion led him to blow his £7,000 question.
Despite the blunder, Neel still pocketed £1,000 as he waved goodbye to host Jeremy Clarkson.
Will next week’s hopefuls cash in big – or fall at the final hurdle?
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire continues next Sunday on ITV1 and ITVX.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV’s hardest questions
- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
- The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
- The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
