The latter was Gloria Hunniford, who had failed to get many answers right during the show.

Thankfully for Melfred, he has an interest in space and when the question came up, he was confident enough in the answer to not need Gloria's help.
Melfred was thrilled when the answer came up as correct, and Michael revealed he had won the biggest jackpot in the show's history.
Viewers were thrilled for him too, with one writing on Twitter: "I am in tears for Melfred! What a bab! So happy for him! #TheWheel."
Another added: "Aww! So chuffed for Melfred!! And he knew exactly what he was talking about."
