Four new players tried to outsmart Anne Hegerty, 66, on The Chase to win a jackpot prize.
Karen from Whickham, Ashleigh from Norfolk, and Sam from Leeds all appeared on the long-running gameshow format.
However, it was Andrew from Oldham who was the first to try and beat The Governess.
Unfortunately, he answered several incorrect questions and was almost caught by the formidable general knowledge expert.
However, the question the presenter threw him to make it through to the final chase caught him by surprise.
Bradley asked: “In England, what is normally the earliest time of day a wedding ceremony can start in an Anglican church?”
He had to give one answer from the three time options to choose from, 8am, 10am or 12pm.
Andrew chose the time of midday as he tried to explain his reasoning to the somewhat surprised host who asked him about his decision.
“I guessed,” he stated.
The long-time presenter then looked like he rolled his eyes as the studio seemed to erupt in laughter.
“Just because people need to get ready?”, he replied in earnest as his fellow competitors were left squirming.
However, Bradley revealed the correct answer wasn’t in the middle of the dat, but was actually 8am.
Andrew looked absolutely gutted as he realised his blunder, before The Governess answered the question correctly.
This meant that he was eliminated from the show as the three players then had to try and build up the cash pot from scratch.
