During the episode, Ronke sat in the hot seat and Jeremy couldn’t hold back his scathing sarcasm after she kept taking ages to answer.

She was going for £16k and a US politics question stumped her. She used Phone A Friend and when the lifeline didn’t make her any more confident of the correct answer, she continued mulling it over.

When she said, “I’m really not sure”, Jeremy interrupted and said sarcastically: “Really? Could have fooled me.”

When she said she would walk with £8,000, Jeremy quipped: “Is that your final answer, or is that going to take 20 minutes to work out as well?”

However, when she said she wanted to have one more think, Jeremy joked: “That’s fine… anyone got a chess set on them?”

After watching, a number of viewers slammed Jeremy and called for ITV to replace him on the programme.
