Contestant walks away from £125,000 question in Birmingham

A contestant on the ITV quiz show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" decided to walk away from a challenging £125,000 question during the latest episode. The contestant, Matthew Trantor, a GP from Birmingham, had already secured £64,000 but had no lifelines left. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked Matthew which word coined by famous children's authors appeared first in print. The options were "Snozzcumber," "Heffalump," "Chortled," and "Quaffle." Matthew expressed doubt about his knowledge of children's literature and felt he could only make a random guess. He ultimately chose to take the money and leave with £64,000, deciding that he didn't want to risk it. He mentioned that he hoped "Jabberwocky" would be one of the options. When asked what he would have guessed, he said he would have chosen "Snozzcumber." Jeremy revealed that the correct answer was actually "Chortled." Had Matthew chosen "Snozzcumber," he would have ended up with just £1,000. Earlier in the episode, Matthew faced a tricky geography question where he used up all his lifelines after struggling to answer correctly. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" continues to feature challenging questions, keeping both contestants and viewers engaged. The show is available for streaming on ITVX.
