Josie Gibson squirms on The Wheel as contestant risks £82k — geography gamble sparks live TV meltdown

The pressure hit hard as the final spin landed and the stakes soared. One wrong move could cost everything — and the expert in the hot seat could barely watch it unfold

Josie Gibson was left squirming on an episode of The Wheel after a contestant gambled £82,000 on a tricky geography question.

The This Morning presenter joined host Michael McIntyre alongside the likes of Anton Du Beke, Tony Bellew, and Steph McGovern, with her area of expertise as women’s fashion.

Josie was left red-faced as she ended the episode as the worst performing expert after answering the least correct answers.

She was in the hot seat during the final round when contestant Tiago tried to win more money with the help of Josie, gambling his potential prize pot of £82,000.

The wheel landed on the question category States and Tiago was asked to answer which Australian state has the largest land area out of Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.

But do you know the answer?

As Tiago debated to himself over the answers, Josie jumped in to say: ‘Ooh goodness me! Like, where’s the Outback?’

But Tiago locked in Western Australia as his final answer and the camera showed Josie looking horrified.

Tiago revealed his initial choice had actually been Tasmania, which caused Josie to say: ‘Oh my god are you doing that? Are you saying Western Australia for real?’

Again asking if it was where the Outback is, a frustrated Josie revealed: ‘I’ve just come back from there! Oh man this is so bad!

‘Honestly, this is the end of me for quiz shows! I am so sorry I am not more help. I can’t even.’

But Tiago’s gut was correct and he won the £82,000 prize, thanking Josie for her help.

‘To be fair I’m like the worst, I don’t do well under pressure, but I should know the answer to that,’ Josie said as she explained her panic.

It comes after a contestant on The Wheel went home with zero pounds after every celebrity failed to guess a jackpot prize question on an episode of the BBC show.

The popular programme sees members of the public try to win cash prizes by answering quiz questions in specific categories, with the help of a number of celebrity experts.

As The Wheel spins, contestants hope they will land on the celebrity who has the right knowledge to help with their question.

However, one episode has gone viral after a contestant walked away empty-handed leaving host Michael McIntyre stunned.

The show started off smoothly, with each hopeful sailing through the rounds up until the end of the game.

But it all went to pot right at the end.

Funnyman Michael, 49, called the episode a ‘heartbreaker’ and pointed out how it’s ‘rare’ contestants leave the show empty-handed.

Closing the show, he told viewers: ‘We have no winner tonight, but thank you to all our experts.

‘We’ll see you next time – and hopefully we’ll have a winner then – on The Wheel.’

The Wheel continues on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
