Who Wants to Be a Millionaire returned to the small screen for a celebrity special, and Charlotte Church was first in the hot seat.
The singer, who was playing for two Welsh charities, was off to a flying start and managed to bag an impressive £16,000 for her chosen organisations.
However, she ran into a spot of bother when she became stuck on the £32,000 question – and decided to phone a friend.
Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “Which of these publications was discontinued in print form in 2016?”

He shared the answers: “A) Argos catalogue, B) The Independent, C) Yellow Pages or D) Beano.”
But with the mum-of-two failing to come up with an answer she was happy with, she used a lifeline and gave her close friend call.
And her pal turned out to be Mark, aka The Beast, from ITV’s The Chase.

With Mark starring in the popular teatime quiz show, viewers at home thought he would be able to answer the question, alas, this was not the case.
The star failed to give Charlotte a concrete answer, and instead said he “had a feeling it could be the yellow pages”.
With the songstress not happy with Mark’s confidence, she decided to use another life-line and chose to go 50/50 on the answer, leaving her with the Yellow Pages and The Independent.
She eventually picked Yellow Pages, which was the correct answer, and ended up walking away with £32,000.
Host Jeremy Clarkson was baffled Mark couldn’t answer the question
But Mark’s lacklustre efforts didn’t go down well with viewers at home.
One wrote: “Imagine having Mark from The Chase as your phone a friend and he is not sure of the answer.”
While another remarked: “Wow of all people, she called Mark from The Chase and he didn’t know. I am finished.”
“Mark the Chaser was helpful wasn’t he?!” another chipped in.
