ITV Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 'hardest' question leaves fans stumped – can you get it?
Kevin Leetion made it to the £500,000 question on ITV's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire on Sunday night, but was left stumped and decided to take his £250k home.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire made a thrilling comeback on Sunday evening, offering contestants another shot at the grand prize. One hopeful, Kevin Leetion, had everyone in the studio, including host Jeremy Clarkson, on the edge of their seats, convinced he might just clinch the top prize.
Kevin Leetion sailed through to £125,000 without using any lifelines and even set his second safety net at that amount. Host Jeremy Clarkson couldn't hide his excitement, saying: "My fingers are crossed here for something very special."
He successfully navigated the next couple of hurdles, finding himself on the cusp of a whopping £500,000. However, faced with a particularly challenging question, Kevin opted not to risk a guess.
Even after phoning a friend, the answer remained elusive. But do you think you could have cracked it?, reports Birmingham Live.
The million-pound question was: According to their official measurements, which of these paintings is the smallest?
The options on the table were: A) The Starry Night, B) Mona Lisa, C) Girl With a Pearl Earring, and D) American Gothic.
Choosing prudence over gamble, Kevin walked away with a handsome £250,000. Curiosity piqued, Jeremy asked what his hunch would have been, and it turned out to be a stroke of luck that Kevin didn't wager, as his guess was off the mark.
