Jeremy clarkson talks 'uncomfortable' night on millionaire

Jeremy Clarkson, 59, said he would be willing to cover the losses incurred by a contestant on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire if his advice led to them missing out on a bigger prize. Since

the ITV quiz show returned with a revamp, potential millionaires now have the option of asking host Jeremy for his advice, in addition to their other lifelines, Ask the Audience, Phone a

Friend and 50/50. In a recent interview with The Sun, The Grand Tour and former Top Gear favourite said he would reimburse any contestant who he led astray — within reason. “If it was a low

amount - in the hundreds - definitely,” he said. “If I got it wrong though I’d have an uncomfortable night.” Jeremy went on to point out that he had never yet given bad advice, but admitted

he hadn’t been much help to contestants since taking over on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. “I’ve never cost anyone money. I’ve said I don’t know if I don’t,” he said. Hinting at more

success in the upcoming new series, he added: “But this time round I’ve been better.  “I’ve been lucky. They’ve asked me questions I’ve known the answers to.” Fans will have to tune in to

the long-running quiz show returns to screens on Saturday night. Jeremy has been at the helm on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire since it was revived for a special seven-episode series to mark

its 20th anniversary last year. The run was so successful - with the ex-Top Gear presenter being well-received as legendary host Chris Tarrant’s replacement - ITV have renewed it for another

series. Elsewhere, Jeremy will also be returning to screens on season four of The Grand Tour. The start date has yet to be confirmed, with Jeremy and his co-stars Richard Hammond, 49, and

James May, 56, currently in the midst of filming. Jeremy Clarkson addressed his Top Gear at the BBC in a recent interview, saying his life was “taken over” by the fame. Having presented the

show with Richard and James for many years, he was said to be one of the BBC’s highest-paid stars at the time, earning a reported £1 million per series. Speaking out on his salary, he told

The Times his earnings were deserved because “your entire life is taken over”. “‘Selfie! Selfie! Want photo! Photo!’” he mimicked. “It’s constant, it’s the soundtrack of my life. “You get

that [salary] for your life being taken over. So, when you look at all those BBC salaries that are published, you think, ‘You get that for an hour’s work?’ “No, you don’t,” he insisted. “You

get that for your entire life being taken over by, ‘Selfie, selfie, photo, photo.’ Somebody has to pay for that.” _WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE AIRS TONIGHT AT 9.10PM ON ITV._
