BBC Radio 1 host Vicky Hawkesworth featured alongside Fi Glover and Owain Wyn Evans but was left feeling red-faced after her bizarre answer.

Romesh asked: "In sport the US-born tennis player who in the 1990s won all four Grand Slams and an Olympic gold medal is Andre who?"

Vicky responded: "The giant," mixing up a 7ft4 wrestling titan for eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi.

Fellow contestant Rick Edwards burst out laughing, as did many viewers watching from home.
