Amy was on £64,000 but decided to take a punt on £125,000
He was first joined by Amy, a tourism officer from Stroud, who battled her way up the board.
After struggling with a motorsport question, Amy got through and set her safety net at £32,000.
She then managed to get the £64,000 question right before taking on the £125,000 question.
It was: “Which of these species of tree lives the longest?”
She was given the options: “A) Yew, B) Oak, C) Sweet chestnut and D) Beech.”
She immediately said with a grimace: “I kill a lot of my plants, so trees are not my strong suit.
“I know an oak tree is very old, but I don’t know if that’s just old tales and hearing that.
“I don’t know a sweet chestnut, and I’ve seen a yew tree and a beech tree but I don’t know how old they are.”
As she debated about having a stab at it, Jeremy reminded her that if she got it wrong, she’d lose £32,000 but would go away with the £32,000 safety net.
Amy said: “I think I might as well go for it, no point in not doing it, right?”

She then decided to go for Oak and said “final answer” so it was locked in.
After a pause, Millionaire host Jeremy said: “You are unbelievably brave…but sadly wrong.”
The computer on screen then revealed that A) Yew was the correct answer.
He added: “Oh I am sorry Amy, but I just love your attitude, and you are leaving here with £32,000 which is pretty good.”
