Loose Women star crashes out of Celebrity Bridge Of Lies as she's bested by true or false question - but can YOU solve it?
A Loose Women star has crashed out of Celebrity Bridge Of Lies after she was bested by a true or false question. Sunetra Sarker, 52, who has been a panellist on the ITV chat show since 2021, appeared on a recent episode of the star-studded version of the BBC quiz show. The show, hosted by EastEnders actor Ross Kemp, 60, sees teams of four must answer true or false questions to create a bridge across the floor. They do this twice - in an individual cash builder each before another round to determine if they will take the money home. Casualty and Ackley Bridge actress Sunetra appeared alongside naturalist Steve Backshall, 52, presenter Jason Mohammad, 51, and art expert Natasha Raskin Sharp, 39. Sunetra impressed for most of the programme, getting right to the final round and very close to winning the money for charity - before falling at this last hurdle. The Loose Women star, 52, who has been a panellist on the ITV chat show since 2021, appeared on a recent episode of the star-studded version of the BBC quiz show She chose the wrong answer, with the bridge lighting up red and Ross and her teammates all looking devastated for her. For the last, all-important question, the Loose Women star had been given four statements and she had to identify which one was true. The first two were that Virgo is the only star sign represented by a person and that white chocolate contains cocoa butter. The last two stated the first Red Nose Day happened before Live Aid and that Oddjob is the villain in the Bond film Thunderball. With the help of her teammate Jason, Sunetra had managed to narrow it down to two answers. He went straight in saying the first Red Nose Day definitely happened after Live Aid so this option could be ruled out. Sunetra soon chimed in to say Virgo is represented by an archer but symbols for other star signs like Gemini also contain people - so that statement must also be false. The pair agreed it was between the white chocolate and Oddjob options but were struggling to come down on either side. Oddjob, played by Japanese wrestler Harold Sakata (pictured), was instead the villain in the 1964 Bond film Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery as the lead spy In the end, they both erred on the side of Oddjob and Sunetra quickly moved to stand on that tile to create the next stage of her bridge. But after a long, excruciating pause, host Ross soon revealed it was a lie. Oddjob, played by Japanese wrestler Harold Sakata, was instead the villain in the 1964 Bond film Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery as the lead spy. Sunetra narrowly avoided embarrassment earlier in the episode too, when she nearly answered wrongly to a question about one of her Loose Women co-stars. One statement, about a beloved British sitcom, read: 'Tracey Stubbs is a character in Birds of a Feather.' The panellist guessed this was true and was extremely happy when Ross told her this happened to be correct. But she was taken aback when the presenter revealed: 'Yeah, she's played by Linda Robson - your fellow Loose Women star!' Linda was a panellist on the ITV lunchtime programme from 2012 to 2018 before returning in 2020 - a year before Sunetra joined the show. Sunetra said, shocked: 'You're kidding me! She'll never forgive me. Sorry!' It comes after Ross Kemp asked a very cheeky question on a recent episode of the show featuring another Loose Women star, Kaye Adams, 62. Kaye appeared on the show alongside Good Morning Britain's Charlotte Hawkins, 50, and presenters Ade Adepitan, 52, and Matt Allwright, 55. But it was Charlotte who shared the slightly risque moment with Ross, who read out a quiz category called 'horny animals' to her, which made her nervously giggle. The category name was soon clarified, with Ross explaining she would need to step on tiles that have animals with horns, antlers or tusks on them. 'The category is animals, what are we looking for?' Ross exclaims. After the category is revealed, Charlotte laughs, saying, 'Okay'. While Ross adds: 'Horny animals! We are looking for animals where the males or females usually have horns antlers or tusks.'

Loose Women star misses out on Celebrity Bridge of Lies jackpot after choosing wrong answer – but could you have got it?
LOOSE Women star flunks jackpot question on Celebrity Bridge of Lies - but would you have nailed it? A Loose Women favourite came this close to scooping the cash prize on Celebrity Bridge of Lies - only to trip up on the final question and lose it all. 2 2 Sunetra Sarker, 52, made it all the way to the final bridge on the hit BBC quiz show, but her luck ran out just steps away from the jackpot. The Casualty and Ackley Bridge actress had been confidently spotting the lies from the truth all evening, impressing host Ross Kemp and cheering on her celeb teammates. But when it came to the crunch - the final question that stood between her and a big cash prize for charity — Sunetra chose the wrong answer, and the money vanished in a flash. Ross looked gutted as the bridge lit up in red, exposing the answer she should have picked. Fans at home were left shouting at their screens - but would YOU have got it right? Sunetra was tasked to spot the true fact out of four statements. They were: Virgo is the only star sign represented by a person, White chocolate contains cocoa butter, The first Red Nose Day took place before Live Aid, and Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball. Sunetra was torn between two answers. But, after deliberating with her teammate Jason Mohammad, they agreed that "Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball" was most likely the truth. Ross revealed it was a lie - as Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Goldfinger - leaving Sunetra gutted. Carol Vorderman left stumped by 'easy' Jack Black question on Celebrity Puzzling Also in the episode, Sunetra failed to realise a true statement was about her fellow Loose Woman co-star. It read: "Tracey Stubbs is a character in Birds of a Feather." Sunetra guessed that it was true, and was relieved when Ross said she was correct. However, she was left stunned when Ross revealed: "Yeah, she's played by Linda Robson - your fellow Loose Women star!" Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Sunetra replied: "You're kidding me! "She'll never forgive me.

During the first instalment, set to air tonight (May 3), Charlotte crosses the bridge and has to step on truths while avoiding the lies. However, when Ross reads out a category to her, called 'horny animals', she begins to nervously giggle. The cheeky name is soon clarified and Ross explains she would need to step on tiles that have animals with horns, antlers or tusks on them. Charlotte plays to raise money for the motor neurone disease association. 'The category is animals, Rich what are we looking for?' Ross exclaims.

The Bridge of Lies host, 60, shared with MailOnline the final time Barb, known for her no-nonsense soap character Peggy Mitchell, sent her love and thanked him for the final time. Barbara died aged 83 in 2020 following a battle with Alzheimer's. But when Ross sat down to honour the veteran actress and write her eulogy for the funeral, he accidentally stumbled across an old card from her when looking for a pen. He told MailOnline: 'I wrote her eulogy and I spoke her eulogy. 'I keep my pilot pens out of the reach because I'm old fashioned. I use a pen and paper when I'm working as a reporter and I keep the pens away from the kids. 'I was writing her eulogy and my pen ran out. It took me two days to write it. And I reached up, it's a true story, a card, like a thin card - I didn't know what it was at the time - got caught under my fingernails as I was reaching for the Biro. 'And I pulled it up, and it was a card from her that she'd sent me some flowers. I didn't even know that was up there. I must have just thrown that up there in a little random moment. 'And it was ''Thank you, darling. Love you, Bar.'' 'And it was like so weird that I rang Scott [her husband] up and I said, ''you won't believe what's just happened''.'
