Sirieix, also known for his role on the reality series First Dates, was competing on the popular ITV quiz show, hosted by Jeremy Clarkson.
Celebrity chef Fred Sirieix enjoyed a rare blunder when he appeared on the celebrity edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
“Is that allowed @Jeremy Clarkson is giving away the answer on #Millionaire,” one person asked.
It was at this point that Clarkson took pity on him, nudging him towards the correct answer without the need to expend another lifeline.
