ITV fans who tuned in to watch Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? were less than impressed after two contestants walked away with huge cash prizes.
Jeremy Clarkson returned as host and welcomed two players - Michael Smith and Pete Hallifax - onto the show. Both contestants managed to take home a staggering amount of money: £250,000 and £125,000.
This left viewers unimpressed, claiming both contestants were given 'easy' questions and felt like the pair were both handed their cash prizes without difficulty.
Smith was playing for £32,000 when he was asked: "The villains in which Roald Dahl book are the dim-witted farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean?”
The possible answers were A: Danny, Champion of the World, B: The Witches, C: George’s Marvellous Medicine, or D: Fantastic Mr Fox.

Smith said: "Well, I have two young children who demand to be read to at bedtime and this is one of their favourite books, hurrah. It is The Fantastic Mr Fox, final answer."
Jeremy then revealed that he had chosen the correct answer, but one fans said on X: "That was far too easy a question for £32k - far too guessable."
Another fan chimed in: "The show was much more watchable when contestants were challenged just to get to £16k rather than easily strolling to £250k."
A third also typed: " Some of these questions tonight have been appalling... they may have well just handed the money to them as they sat down!"
After Smith went home with £250,000, Pete Hallifax was next to place his bid at becoming a millionaire. Instead of gambling on a difficult question, he went away with £125,000.
His final question was: "Which of these poems each read by its author as a US presidential election was read by Amanda Gorman at the 2021 ceremony?"
The choices were A: The Hill We Climb, B: One Today, C: On the Pulse of Morning and D: The Gift Outright, with Hallifax guessing option A but didn't want to risk it. Jeremy then revealed that if he had stuck with his choice, he would have won £250,000.
