Presenter Dermot O’Leary left viewers rather confused after he was labelled as an expert on fish during an episode of The Wheel.
The popular BBC show had viewers hooked on Saturday night (November 19) as three contestants battled it out to win as much money as possible.
The first contestant to take on The Wheel was Melfred, who worked as a school chef. Sticking to a category he knows and loves, Melfred opted for “fish” which Dermot was an expert in.

But fans of the show were left perplexed with the former X Factor host being labelled as an expert in all things fish and jumped onto Twitter to share their thoughts on the matter.
One viewer questioned: “Dermot’s category being Fish has really confused me.. why???”
Another joked: “Next series Dermot’s specialist subject will be fish from the Second World War.”
A third said: “Dermot O’Leary an expert in fish.”
Meanwhile a fourth added: “Dermot O’Leary on fish!”
Despite the confusion from viewers at home, Dermot explained the reason why he decided to brand himself an expert on fish when presenter Michael McIntyre asked him.

Dermot said: “I love fish, I love eating fish, I love catching fish, I love swimming with fish, surfing with fish, diving with fish, so why not!”
Michael replied: “You really love fish!”
Dermot: “We’ll find out tonight, how much I love fish.”
But unfortunately when it was time for Dermot to take centre stage and showcase his knowledge on fish, The Wheel landed on boxer Nicola Adams who confessed “I don’t know much about fish,” when faced with the difficult question.

Despite her lack of knowledge, Nicola answered her fish based question correctly.
Later on in the show, although Melfred got off to a rocky start, he ended up winning an eye-watering £96,000 on the show.
Seeing his successful win, fans took to Twitter to congratlate him on his win.
One viewer said: “I always learn something new when I watch #TheWheel. Well deserved win, Melfred is so precious.”
Another added: “Well done Melfred! What a lovely man.”
And a third echoed: “So pleased for Melfred!!!”
