Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’s live audience were left gasping this evening, as a player make a nasty joke about Jeremy Clarkson’s weight.
Final contestant Anna stepped up to the plate, making it successfully to the £1,000 mark before the 60-year-old presenter started to make small talk.
Jeremy then quizzed her about her job – working for a magazine – and said: “So you’re a digital retouch artist?”
The former Top Gear host started wondering whether Anna photoshopped models to look thinner for a living.
She replied: “I sometimes make people thinner, sometimes I make them fatter.”
Final contestant Anna squared up to a fresh batch of questions
Gesturing to his own physique, he wondered: “Can you make me thinner?”
In a savage swipe, she scoffed: “I’m not a wizard.”
The audience around audibly gasped, shocked by her comment as they waited for Jeremy to react.
Looking around the studio, Jeremy tried to brush it off, insisting: “I think that was fair enough.”

Swiftly, he moved on to the next round of questions, as Anna tried her best to climb the ranks of the illustrious money tree.
Unfortunately, a question about Land’s End threw her off track, and she was booted off the show with just £1,000 in her pocket.
The question read: “Sailing due south from Land’s End in Cornwall, in which country would you next reach the mainland?”
Anna got the geography question wrong, and was sent home
Below, the options were: France, Spain, Portugal or Morocco.
While Anna plumped for Morocco, a disappointed Jeremy announced the correct answer was, in fact, Spain.
Wishing Anna all the best, Jeremy remarked: “I’m so sorry about that! That was a real nightmare question. And a nightmare part of the board for you.”
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire airs on Tuesdays at 8pm on ITV.
