Helen Flanagan leaves BBC viewers speechless with The Wheel answer

The Wheel viewers were left speechless on Saturday night over former star Helen Flanagan's answer to one question.

During the show, viewers met the contestant Tiago who was successfully earning his way up to the final jackpot question. Managing to secure £16,000, host Michael McIntyre halted the programme midway through, giving the celebrities an opportunity to boost the funds Tiago had earned.

The segment, which is called the Money Spinner, will add an extra £1,000 for every correct answer given by the stars when it's their turn. If they could get the whole way around the wheel, £10,000 would be added for Tiago.

Michael told the celebrities: "I can tell you the category of today's money spinner is going to be on the military, all you need to do Tiago is select somebody to start us off."

Handing over to star Tony Bellew, all he had to do was name a rank or officer in the UK Army. All seemed to be going well as Tony, , Anton Du Beke, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Steph McGovern and Richard Osman all gave correct answers.

However, when it was Helen Flanagan's turn, she replied: "Army?" Putting his hands on his head, Michael replied: "Army is not correct. I'm so sorry Helen."

Acknowledging she was in the hardest position, being last on the board, the actress confessed she didn't know what to say.

She replied: "I didn't know, I'm so sorry. I'm so hot! I got so red, I really didn't know. As soon as you said it, I was just like, 'Wow, no idea'."

It wasn't long before viewers took to to share their thoughts on the hilarious moment. One person wrote: "Army Ffs Helen"

Another person said: "Question: Name a rank in the Army. Helen: Army?! #TheWheel" Someone else commented: "Oh Helen, Army isn’t an answer haha."

"Army. Brilliant. #TheWheel," wrote another. One person tweeted: "Did Helen say army I was shouting private at the TV." Someone else commented: "Oh Helen....what was that???? That was £6k banked there."

However, one person couldn't get over her youthful appearance, adding: " looks like she did in 2012."

In the end, Tiago had one question to answer with the help of Josie Gibson to try and win a total of £82,000. Although Josie wasn't much help, admitting she wasn't sure, Tiago guessed the correct answer and went home with the jackpot.

The Wheel is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
