Who Wants to Be a Millionaire fans all have the same complaint about contestant – but who’s in the wrong?
FANS of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire were left frustrated by one contestant who already appeared to be a ‘millionaire’.
The ITV game show favourite aired its latest edition on Saturday following a return to scheduled programming following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
But many viewers were quick to quip at one contestant appearing on the Jeremy Clarkson-fronted show as she appeared to already have an impressive background and wealth regardless of the show.
Contestant Natalie was appearing on the show following her triumph on the new teatime spin-off edition of the show, Fastest Finger First, presented by Anita Rani.
The new show sees the opening round of the main show axed and instead contestants much prove their worth on the new teatime edition in order to progress to the live WWTBAM studio.
Viewers were to quick to comment on Natalie’s impressive life story as she revealed she was an ‘entrepreneur’ and had been lucky enough to visit a total of 86 countries.

But this did not go down well at all with viewers at home who slammed her for appearing on the show in place of someone who could be in greater need of the money.
Taking to social media in disbelief, one viewer said: “Oh come on an entrepreneur does not need to be on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. She doesn’t need the money! #whowantstobeamillionaire.”
Another shocked fan replied: “And been to 86 countries? I can’t afford a weekend at Blackpool.”
One disgruntled watcher added: “#WhoWantstoBeaMillionaire 86 countries? She’s already a millionaire.”

A fourth said: “Why do #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire only ever get people who clearly don’t need the money? This woman’s been to 86 countries ffs… I’ve never been anywhere more exotic than Blackpool!!”
While a fifth fan raged at Natalie saying: “#WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire she’s rich enough to take any gamble on any money she wants.. Wouldn’t make a difference to her… but she doesn’t risk it.”
This latest scandal surrounding the ITV game show comes as one contestants revealed the secrets behind the show whilst on air.
Viewers of the popular ITV game show are led to believe that when a contestant is mid-way through the game when the episode ends, they have to go home and come back next time to continue their quest to win £1million.
But contestant Maria spoilt the illusion during the September 10th episode, when she let slip that the next episode is filmed almost straight away.

Maria was on the 7th question in the game when the siren sounded, signalling the end of the episode.
“Ah, right, you know what that means,” host Jeremy Clarkson said to her as they heard the sound.
“I have to go and get changed,” Maria said, without thinking, revealing that contestants change into another outfit for the next taping so it appears as if it’s a different day.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire airs Saturday nights on ITV.
