Viewers often see the pairs conferring in between giving their answers, as they try to wrack their brains in the hope of bettering all the competition with their obscure knowledge.

Pre Covid, this was done in a more entertaining fashion, with wannabe quizzers whisked off to hotels to audition in groups. During the audition, we had to play ...
Lindsay, who already shared how she hit lucky with a pretty full up prize pot said: ‘When we got back to the green room afterwards, we were not allowed to tell anyone that we’d won the jackpot, but we were allowed to show everyone else our trophies.
