Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? contestant Clea Rawinsky replied with 'oh well' after being told she'd lost £31,000.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire viewers were left shocked on Tuesday night after English teacher Clea Rawinsky lost £31,000 in a matter of seconds.

Clea had used all her lifelines up by the time she got to her losing question, which was: "Which specific activity defines a 'funambulist' at a circus?"

Host Jeremy Clarkson gave her four possible answers which were; lion taming, knife juggling, fire breathing, tightrope walking.

While Clea was unsure, she suddenly told Jeremy her final answer was 'knife juggler', which was incorrect.

Jeremy cringed as he told Clea she had just lost £31,000.
