But one question stumped the geography student as she rushed to answer as many questions as she could in one minute.
Before her she took on the Chaser, the budding student boasted how she was currently studying at the elite University of Cambridge where many of the great minds in England go to study.

When the actor asked where she was studying she explained: “Oh, I’m studying at Cambridge” much to the surprise of the TV host.
He asked: “Like, Cambridge Cambridge, not outside Cambridge, Cambridge secondary modern union, that one?” to which she replied: “No, the big boy one, the old fashioned [one with] turrets, nearly a hundred years old.”
As the dad-of-two compared the prestigious school to Hogwarts, he went on to ask: “What house are you in? Not house – halls and residence – what place are you in?”

The 20-year-old answered that she was currently being educated in the Jesus building before the telly host got back to the questions at hand.
During the speed round former Coronation Street star Bradley asked the brunette beauty: “What East Sussex town gives its name to an 11th century battle?”
As she panicked under the time pressure, she replied: “Crawley,” which the quiz master corrected to “Hastings”.
