The million pound question was answered by Charlie, who remembered the answer from his uni days.
NHS finance manager Charlie had sweated through the previous rounds, but when the last question flashed up he was determined he knew it.
The question was: "2024 marks how many years since Blur beat Oasis to the UK number 1 spot with the song 'Country House'.
Dec joked it was "squeaky bum time" as Charlie replied: "29. I know. It's 29."

As they were revealed to be millionaires, Helen said: "This is beyond anything, it's been amazing from start to finish."
However, viewers were shocked by the question and claimed it was "too easy".
One said: "It’s 29 years. 1995. Dead easy. Million pound question. F**k me, this is fix."

Another said: "Jeez what an easy question to win a million."
Other viewers were stunned by Helen and Charlie's reaction to their incredible scoop, with one saying: "Why are Ant & Dec more excited than the people who've just won £1 million!?"
One more reacted: "this couple already have 1 million based on their reaction bloody hell id be in bits"
The couple boosted their jackpot by getting exact answers right, which topped up their cash pot by £50k every time.
They told Ant and Dec they'd use the winnings for: "Planning for the future, setting the kids up, and sending them to university."
The husband and wife first met on a blind date after Charlie's mother suggested the meeting.
Before winning, the couple said they wanted to spend the money on returning to Hawaii, where they went on a honeymoon, with their children.
NHS communications manager Helen said the kids wanted a villa in Mexico with a chef and to build a computer.
During the game, Ant asked Charlie why he was "so calm" when he was "hyperventilating" at seeing the total prize money.
When the couple won the huge sum, Ant and Dec jumped around the stage while Charlie and Helen hugged.
Helen called the moment "surreal".
"Honestly it's like a dream," she said.
The married couple then lost lives when they were asked a question about the weight of Marvel character Captain America's shield.
Unsure of an answer about Nasa's Perseverance Rover on Mars, the pair cashed out at £1 million.
