Ant and Dec's game show, Limitless Win, recently aired an episode that has caused quite a stir among fans. The episode featured a returning couple, Richard and Lorna, who were determined to climb the cash ladder and win big. However, things took an unexpected turn when a question about the standard length of the cable for Henry vacuums caused some controversy.
At the start of the game, Richard and Lorna were off to a strong start with £30,000 and 32 lives. But as they continued to climb the ladder, their lives quickly dwindled. Just minutes into the episode, fans were already on the edge of their seats as the couple debated over the correct answer to the vacuum question. With some deduction skills, they narrowed it down to either eight or 10 meters before ultimately settling on eight. However, much to their dismay, the answer was revealed to be 10 meters and they lost two lives for guessing below the correct number.
But here's where things get interesting. As it turns out, both eight and 8.4 meters are technically correct as genuine replacement power cables for Henry vacuums can be purchased at both lengths. This led fans to demand that ITV "pays up" for the couple's technically correct answer. Some even took to social media to express their frustration, with one viewer jokingly saying they had never seen how long the cable is on their own vacuum.
Despite the controversy, Richard and Lorna continued on and eventually reached the £250,000 point. However, they decided to play it safe and walked away with the already banked £30,000 instead. But don't feel too bad for them, as that is still a significant amount of money that they plan to use to take their friends and family on a luxurious vacation.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Limitless Win works by allowing contestants to climb the cash ladder indefinitely until they run out of lives or decide to cash out. Hosted by Ant and Dec, the game involves answering random knowledge questions with numerical answers. If the contestants get the answer exactly right, they can lock in that cash amount and continue on.
The prize money on the show can be quite impressive, with a previous NHS couple winning a whopping half a million pounds and promptly donating 10% of it to charity. However, with this latest controversy, fans are left wondering if the couple should have been awarded the full amount for their technically correct answer. Metro has reached out to ITV for comment on the matter.
