BEAUTY and brains is always a winning combination – but, according to TV viewers, it’s not something you usually find on BBC2’s University Challenge.

Although the mesmerising medical student failed to make the semi-final, she left those at home suitably impressed.

Viewers were quick to take to Twitter, with many declaring their undying love for Emma – especially after became clear her team was about to crash out of the competition to Balliol.

Many even suggested that cameraman (or woman) might also have enjoyed gazing upon clever Emma, with one viewer tweeting: “#UniversityChallenge seems to be having many specific shots on Corpus Christi's Emma Johnson. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.”
