However, fans who were annoyed about the schedule shake up were soon appeased by a pretty contestant on the University of Southampton team.

The four students were playing against a team from Balliol College, Oxford.

But University Challenge viewers only had eyes for Magda Steele, who revealed she is originally from Poland and studying for a PhD in ecology.

Magda looked lovely in a green and peach coloured floral blouse and with her long hair hanging loose around her shoulders.

Meanwhile another admirer shared a gif of Joey from Friends saying 'How you doin'?' and added: "Well Helloooooo Miss. Steele. #UniversityChallenge."

A fellow viewer shared: "I’m watching this episode just for her 😉😉😉😉#UniversityChallenge let’s get Steele trending."

Thankfully for viewers, Southampton triumphed over Oxford with an impressive score of 210 points, meaning Steele will be back in the next round.
