ITV’s iconic quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? returns this April with one of its most thrilling series yet. Viewers can expect high drama as at least one contestant claims the £1 million top prize.
Series 36 Delivers Historic Wins and Losses
Two contestants reach the £1 million question, positioning them one correct answer from the life-changing jackpot. Securing £1 million remains rare, with only six winners in the show’s UK history and just one since Jeremy Clarkson took over as host.
The suspense peaks when one player suffers a staggering £186,000 loss in a single moment—one of the largest in the program’s history—making Series 36 unforgettable.
Climbing the Million Pound Ladder
Jeremy Clarkson hosts as challengers tackle the famous Money Ladder, relying on lifelines like Ask the Audience, 50:50, Ask the Host, and Phone a Friend to chase massive payouts. Specific contestant details stay secret, building anticipation over who joins the elite £1 million club.
Clarkson’s Take on the Tension
Jeremy Clarkson shares his excitement: “I think this might be my favourite series so far. There are some properly nail-biting moments and seeing two contestants get to the £1 million question was extraordinary. When they’re sitting there on that final question, the tension in the studio is incredible, you can really feel it. I can’t wait for people to watch it.”
Clarkson began hosting in May 2018, reviving the show for its 20th anniversary after Chris Tarrant. The new episodes launch on ITV1 and ITVX this April, promising edge-of-your-seat action from the start.
