Since then, more than 250 contestant duos have hoped to win the show's top prize -only to fall short.
Father and son duo Paul and Tom, from Liverpool, walked away with the full £10,000 - achieving what had seemed impossible.

After five seconds of each song has played, the
money
in the prize pot starts to drop.

This means that players make less
money
the longer time they take.
However, dream Paul and Tom answered every one correctly in less than five seconds, therefore keeping every penny.

business
owner Paul 61, share a love of music.
They credited their success to complementary music taste -Paul's love of 60s,70s,80s and Tom's knowledge of 90's and 00's.

Helen Flanagan's painful black eye after splashing out on €450 beauty treatment
Helen Flanagan has been left bruised around her eye after undergoing a pricey beauty treatment. The former Coronation Street actress, 34, showed her followers her black eye online as she went makeup free for her latest selfie, with her son Charlie taking quick "danger nap" in the background. The TV fave posted the snap on Instagram on Friday and penned: "Going around like this. Be worth it when I look 24. Charlie danger napping." It is reported that Helen had a round of €450 skin injections, called Polynucleotides, which caused the damage. The treatment is aimed at rejuvenating the skin and face with no added volume. She then praised her go-to practitioner: "I only go to @drnataliehowarth for my face as I trust her a million percent." In other news, I'm A Celeb star Helen revealed before her All Stars stint, she endured some gruelling preparation for the ITV show - including hiring a phobia coach to help her get Bushtucker Trial ready. Helen Flanagan at the 2023 Fashion Awards (Image: Getty Images) Talking exclusively to Daily Star at the WhichBingo Awards, Helen said: "For All Stars, I properly trained for that and paid a phobia coach. He would get me involved with all the snakes and all these bugs. I remember being in this bath and this guy chucked cockroaches on me until I stopped screaming. "It was at this farm, there were tarantulas and snakes, it was really good for your mind. I paid the guy to do loads of phobias with me, heights and all sorts. "But when I got there, it was the producers choosing who did the trials, so I only got picked to do a few but I had prepped for everything. I had literally done so much beforehand. "I would go to Go Ape all the time for heights, which I'm glad because I did the highest trial in I'm A Celeb history with Myleene Klass and Amir Khan. It's like being an actress, if you don't learn your lines and don't prepare for it, you won't be ready. "You have to get yourself in a different mindset, but it was such a nice feeling to be ready for it."

'World's most jealous woman' has husband take lie detector test every time
Feeling a pang of jealousy occasionally is a common human emotion, and it's not unusual for this to surface in romantic relationships from time to time. However, most individuals recognise that such feelings must be kept firmly in check, striving not to succumb to their jealous tendencies - they understand that without trust, their relationships lack the solid foundations needed for longevity. For Debbi Wood, though, managing these jealous impulses was a significant challenge. She earned the title of 'world's most jealous woman' during her appearance on This Morning in 2013, where she revealed her stringent rules for her husband, including requiring him to take a lie detector test every time he returned home. The idea originated from an offhand remark made by her husband Steve, who jokingly suggested he'd be willing to take such a test to demonstrate his fidelity when out and about. Debbi seized the opportunity, she shared on This Morning, and purchased a kit - noting that the couple lived quite a distance apart when they first started dating, which heightened her fears that Steve might be unfaithful. Steven and Debbi Wood (Image: Loughborough Echo) (Image: ITV) Debbi opened up about her insecurities in her relationship, which were exacerbated when she learned that Steve had seen someone else as they were starting to date. He argued that they hadn't agreed to be exclusive at the time, but Debbi admitted she became "resentful" due to this "slight deception". Her jealousy spiralled to such an extent that she would scrutinise Steve's bank statements and phone records. "Well, when you've got a good man, you're not going to let him go, are you?" Debbi justified her possessive actions. She even went as far as banning Steve from watching TV shows featuring women after becoming obsessed with the thought that he fancied a model in a razor advert. "One night, an advert for a women's razor came on television and I felt panicky thinking that Steve was eyeing the model up. The only thing that could put my mind at rest was banning him from watching any programmes that have women in them," Debbi confessed to MailOnline. Following their stint on This Morning, the couple dedicated time to improving their relationship. A year later, they returned to the show and reported significant progress. The routine lie detector tests they once used had become a rare occurrence, described by Steve as happening "once in a blue moon". He praised their partnership as "absolutely amazing" when Debbi managed to overcome her jealousy, which she attributed to a past "traumatic" relationship. "When we're not arguing about this, our relationship is absolutely amazing. I make her laugh in ways she's never laughed before. She makes me laugh in ways I've never laughed before," Steve shared about his marriage. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.
