Redknapp makes early exit in who wants to be a millionaire

Former Portsmouth and Birmingham City coach Harry Redknapp was on the hot seat on popular television show who wants to be a millionaire Wednesday but surprisingly crashed out in a jiffy.

Redknappe who coached about eight clubs in the course of his managerial career, found the seat rather too hot as he left the show without a penny.

The former Jordan coach had wanted to raise funds for charity through the show but could not cross the £500 pound question

In scenes that will air on Thursday’s episode, the football manager, 74, answered three questions correctly on the quiz series but crashed out on the £500 pound question.

A source told The Sun: ‘He was clearly shocked and embarrassed at getting the boot so early in the competition he’d barely been in the hot seat a few minutes.

‘But he was crestfallen mainly because he’d failed to raise any funds and didn’t hesitate to put his hand in his pocket.

‘It was certainly a contrast to when he was on another big ITV show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, which he won.’

While Harry failed to win money for charity, the publication reported he offered to donate cash out of his own pocket instead.

Harry’s mishap marks the first time since Jeremy Clarkson took over as host of the show in 2018 that a celebrity has failed to win any money.

Answering the £1,000 question is the only way to ensure you take home any money at all on the high-stakes game show.  Harry’s appearance on the show will air on ITV tomorrow at 9pm.

It comes after Who Wants To Be A Millionaire viewers were left unimpressed after Jeremy made a joke about late comedian Sean Lock.
