The final round of Wednesday’s show saw contestants Lucy and Jean trying to name Yorkshire Parliamentarians in the final round of the show, hosted by Alexander Armstrong.

The couple were asked to name one of Yorkshire’s 54 current MPs as they attempted to win a £5,000 jackpot.

The pair plumped for former PM Rishi Sunak, Yvette Cooper and former deputy PM John Prescott.

The first two were correct but scoring answers, while the third was incorrect as Prescott wasn’t a serving MP after 2010.

When the answers were revealed, Ed Miliband (Doncaster North), Sally Jameson (Doncaster Central), Lee Pitcher (Doncaster East and Isle of Axholme) and John Healey (Rawmarsh and Conisbrough) all scored zero.

The jackpot rolled over to the next show.
