They were Charlie Brooks, Les Dennis, Darren Harriott and Melinda Messenger.

After whizzing through a number of questions correctly, TV presenter and former glamour model Melinda got a VERY wrong answer.

The 51-year-old was quizzed on her knowledge of royal history, as host Richard asked the contestants for the year in which "Elizabeth I ascends the throne".

Melinda went first, guessing it was 1903, followed by Les Dennis' 1961 guess, Charlie went for 1677 and Darren with 1880.
