A contestant on the new series of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? has become the first person to go home with the million-pound jackpot in 14 years.
Host Jeremy Clarkson has described the emotional moment a contestant on the forthcoming series of the quiz show answered all 15 questions correctly becoming the sixth person to win £1 million.
Clarkson said: "Well, I'm absolutely thrilled and delighted that we've found someone who seems to know just about everything.
"I can't wait for the viewers to see it and I want to watch it back too.
"I was just in awe of this contestant and think they are probably the best the show has ever had in its 22-year history.
"It was a joy to sit and watch it unfold."
The Grand Tour host said the contestant "whizzed through the 15 questions and all of a sudden, confetti was falling from the ceiling and I was saying 'You've just won £1 million'.
"I wasn't sure I'd ever get to utter those immortal six words and I'm not embarrassed to say, it was a little emotional but boy did it feel good."
This series was filmed without a studio audience due to Covid-19 and Government guidelines around social distancing.
Each contestant will still have four lifelines but they will be 50:50, Ask The Host and two opportunities to Phone A Friend.
In May, retired doctor Andrew Townsley, from Glasgow, nearly became the sixth £1 million winner but walked away with £500,000.
When faced with a final question on motorsport, he decided to play it safe and stick with half a million pounds.
Ingram Wilcox was the most recent winner of the top prize, going all the way in 2006.
In all, five contestants have previously won the £1 million prize on the UK version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? returns in September
