Jeremy Clarkson has confessed that he finds a key element of Who Wants to be a Millionaire "terrifying". The popular TV presenter is gearing up for the return of the hit game show on ITV, set to air on 25 January. The 64 year old host has given fans a sneak peek into what they can expect from the upcoming series and shared his genuine feelings about the Ask Jeremy lifeline in Who Wants to be a Millionaire. This lifeline allows contestants to seek Jeremy's answer to a question, adding an extra layer of pressure on him.
He conceded that in the forthcoming series, he proves to be somewhat "hopeless" in aiding contestants towards victory, reports Gloucestershire Live. When questioned if the lifeline has become less daunting, Jeremy responded: "No, it's still terrifying. This series I have been particularly hopeless. I was doing reasonably well on my average getting them right, but this series I have been really useless!".
Despite this, he acknowledged that Ask Jeremy does inject some "adrenaline into proceedings" on the ITV quiz show. Jeremy further revealed that he "doesn't mind" when questions related to farming appear on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, as he is comfortable admitting when he doesn't know the correct response.
"No because if I don't know the answer, I will go 'there you are, I'm useless', and if I do know the answer, it's helpful for the contestant. I don't mind farming questions cropping up, but they never do," the presenter admitted. With a multitude of projects on the go, he jokingly exclaimed: "It's Greek mythology or women's literature. I have got about nine jobs! I run a farm, a brewery, pub, do my farm show, I've just finished the Grand Tour, I've got three newspaper columns a week, I haven't got time to read many books!".
