One question about the UK government turned up the heat between two of the competitors.

Host Ben Shephard asked: "How many UK Prime Ministers served between the year 2000 and the 1st of October 2020?”

After pondering over the answer, Ferne said: "I'm going to say five."

She then went on to list Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson.

Ben noticed that competitor Iain was agreeing with her answers and asked: "Iain you're nodding?"

He replied: "That is the correct answer."

A shocked Ben said: "I do that bit!"

Fern got the correct answer and asked Ben to drop the counter in zone two.

She said: "If it can go to the left I'd be very, very happy. Okay here we go!"

Annoyingly, the counter didn't drop where she wanted it to and she shouted: "Oh man!"

In a sarcastic tone Iain said: "That looks nice there..."

The former This Morning presenter replied: "Don't patronise me."
