During his time on the show, the 37-year-old English teacher came up with an incorrect theory that led to a banishment of a faithful. To give him credit it’s not an easy game and they have to base their votes on something!.

He built up false evidence on faithful Kasim, 33, and took issue with the doctor confidently given a speech at one of the breakfast tables. Kasim’s job was even used against him at a dramatic roundtable, leading him to say: ‘You’re basically calling me Harold Shipman.’ Shipman was a GP who took the lives of an estimated 250 of his patients over two decades before being caught.

Kasim has since apologised for the comparison, and on the most recent episode of spin-off series Uncloaked, it was Joe’s turn to say sorry. When asked by host Ed Gamble about how he was able to remove himself from drama in later episodes, and treat the show like the game it is, Joe explained it came back to his Kasim error. Joe felt so bad that he decided to sit back a little more.

‘I feel like I owe the nation a public apology with Kaz,’ he stated. Justifying his rationale for believing it was Kasim, he added: ‘Everyone is saying “Why did you go for poor Kaz?”.
