All of the other contestants had been given the boot, leaving Ollie to fight his way through the final to win a jackpot of £4,000.
In a tense showdown, it was soon to be revealed who the winner of today's show was. Despite Bradley's encouragement to support the player - he wasn't successful.
Unfortunately, Ollie didn't make it through the final round and was beaten to the post by The Menace. The quiz pro told him it was a "valiant" attempt and he could've been lucky enough to scoop the win if he had the backing of one other contestant.
The Menace used to be a contestant himself and was scouted by producers after doing so well as a player. He joined the show back in 2020 after wowing ITV bosses.
He also works as a laboratory manager and research technician in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, where he specialises in researching the brains of insects.
