BBC game show contestants bag maximum jackpot for first time in quiz's history in flawless performance hitting screens this weekend
Two BBC game show contestants bagged the maximum jackpot for the first time in the quiz's history. In an episode set to air this weekend, a pair of players on The Hit List are set to take home a record-breaking prize. Hosted by husband and wife TV duo Marvin and Rochelle Humes, the show puts contestants through their musical paces as they try to identify songs with just a few notes. To win £10,000 teams must prove their ability to recognise a range of songs, but even the most musically gifted have struggled. Saturday's instalment, which will hit screens at 5.45pm on BBC One, will see two contestants bag £10,000, according to The Sun. Players pencilled in for the episode include best friends Ellie and Izzy from Sheffield, father and son duo Tom and Paul from Liverpool and married couple Joy and Joe from Nottingham. The show first aired in 2019 and was the first presenting gig for the pop star couple. It has seen several celebrity instalments as well as members of the public attempt to win cash. All manner of stars have previously taken up the challenge in a bid to win big money for charity as part of the broadcaster's run of celebrity specials. One celebrity duo performed very poorly considering their background in showbiz. Roman and Martin Kemp managed to scrape through to the final but fell at the last hurdle - failing to recognise hits from U2, Abba and Duran Duran. Other well known guests have included Ian 'H' Watkins form Steps and Faye Tozer, dancer Oti Mabuse and former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley. Previously speaking to the i newspaper, the couple discussed the challenges for contestants. Rochelle said: 'I always say to them before the round starts, 'don't look at the money trickling down, look at me, I want you to win.' 'We've had people that just don't know the answer at all, and the nerves just completely take over. 'It's easier said than done, though.' The pair who work together have revealed the secret to their happy marriage. Rochelle and Marvin met when they were at the height of their fame with their respective pop bands in the late 2000s and tied the knot in July 2012 at Blenheim Palace.
