Sunetra Sarker, 52, made it all the way to the final bridge on the hit BBC quiz show, but her luck ran out just steps away from the jackpot.
The Casualty and Ackley Bridge actress had been confidently spotting the lies from the truth all evening, impressing host Ross Kemp and cheering on her celeb teammates.
But when it came to the crunch – the final question that stood between her and a big cash prize for charity — Sunetra chose the wrong answer, and the money vanished in a flash.
Ross looked gutted as the bridge lit up in red, exposing the answer she should have picked.
Fans at home were left shouting at their screens – but would YOU have got it right?
Sunetra was tasked to spot the true fact out of four statements.
They were: Virgo is the only star sign represented by a person, White chocolate contains cocoa butter, The first Red Nose Day took place before Live Aid, and Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball.
Sunetra was torn between two answers.
But, after deliberating with her teammate Jason Mohammad, they agreed that “Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball” was most likely the truth.
Ross revealed it was a lie – as Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Goldfinger – leaving Sunetra gutted.
Also in the episode, Sunetra failed to realise a true statement was about her fellow Loose Woman co-star.
It read: “Tracey Stubbs is a character in Birds of a Feather.”
Sunetra guessed that it was true, and was relieved when Ross said she was correct.
However, she was left stunned when Ross revealed: “Yeah, she’s played by Linda Robson – your fellow Loose Women star!”
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.
Sunetra replied: “You’re kidding me!
“She’ll never forgive me.
“Sorry!”
Celebrity Bridge of Lies is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
