I thought that Marsupial Woman would have the most ridicule out of
all the contestants in this series but....
..that Deeley twit! I can't believe that he is that repugnant IRL. It was
pretty obvious (after he threw the cheque away), that Tarrant spent a
little time rebuking the guy as there was a gap in the music.

Davis on Living.. Oh well.... :-)

Don't you think he looks like that guy from Stars In Their Eyes who was
Chris De Burg?

WINNER GROVELS FOR CHEQUE

<photo>
Grovelled ... Richard with tatty cheque
By JOHN SCOTT

A COCKY contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? had to grovel for his
money back after throwing away a cheque for £32,000.

Host Chris Tarrant looked horrified as arrogant Richard Deeley screwed the
cheque into a ball and hurled it across the studio - because he was sure he
would double his money on the next question.

The accountant tried to outdo witty Chris by telling him: "I won't be
needing that."

But when he got the question WRONG and asked for the cheque back, annoyed
Chris said: "Well, I'm not getting it."

Shamed Richard, 33, had to scramble on the floor for the paper.

He was too embarrassed to watch last night's pre-recorded show and said: "It
was a joke which backfired spectacularly."

Bachelor Richard, from Nottingham, got ten questions right to land the
guaranteed £32,000.
Chris said: "Most would be delighted with £2,000 and £8,000 would be enough
to sort out the lives of many folk.

"But screwing up a cheque for £32,000 and throwing it across the floor -
that is something else. There was a lot of unwelcoming body language while
that bloke was in the chair."

Richard said: "I remember thinking Chris did not look very happy."

The £64,000 question was: "In which sport are white goose feathers an
important feature, especially at international level?" A Darts, B Archery, C
Fly Fishing or D Badminton.

Richard rang a friend and said archery. The answer was badminton.

On Wednesday The Sun told how David Edwards, 52, had become the second
person to win £1million on the show.
