Fans flooded social media in disbelief, with one saying: "What was on her mind..." Another wrote: "Her name is literally a 7-letter country starting with G😂😂" A third penned: "Brain cells working over time?" Meanwhile, Warwick has begged TV bosses to bring back his gameshow, after ITV cancelled it earlier this year in a move that shocked fans.

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. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

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. "I feel like I should video people on my phone when they say, 'We miss Tenable' and then send them to ITV!" Warwick knows that he would need to make the commercial case to the higher ups at the channel. He admits that a potential revival would hinge on getting high ratings and bringing in a large profit. The actor added: "The landscape of television has changed immensely with all the streaming services now. "Unless you can pull in the advertisers, you can't get a show on. "One day it may become apparent that Tenable is viable once again. Maybe we could even do a Tenable film one day!"

'Hands Burnt, Face Scorched': Eyewitnesses At Dhaka School Recall Bangladesh Jet Crash Horror
Last Updated: Eyewitnesses of the Bangladesh jet crash described scenes of chaos, flames, and panic as the jet crashed into the school, with students fleeing and teachers suffering burns. Monday's Bangladesh Air Force training fighter jet crash killed at least 20 people, mostly students. Multiple reports said more than 170 others were injured in one of the deadliest aviation accidents in the country's history. According to officials, the F-7 BGI aircraft, a training fighter jet manufactured in China, experienced a 'mechanical fault" moments after takeoff. Soon after, it crashed into the two-storey building of Milestone School and College at Diabari in Dhaka's Uttara. The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Mohammad Towkir Islam, was killed in the crash. Videos of the aftermath of the crash showed a big fire near a lawn emitting a thick plume of smoke into the sky, as crowds watched from a distance. Firefighters sprayed water on the mangled remains of the plane, which appeared to have rammed into the side of a building, damaging iron grills and creating a gaping hole in the structure. A teacher at the school, recalling the jet crash horror on the premises, said that security personnel were putting bodies in body bags to be taken to Dhaka's combined military hospital from the damaged building, which housed classes from one to seven. 'Dozens of ambulances were carrying the wounded to nearby hospitals," she said. Fahim Hossain, an eleventh-grade student, said that the jet crashed right in front of his eyes, just 10 feet ahead of him. 'It hit the ground floor of a two-storey building around 1.15 pm, where classes for the primary section were taking place," Fahim told The Daily Star. Recounting the experience, another teacher, who was injured in the incident, said students were lining up to leave the school just as the final bell rang when the flames erupted. 'There was no warning. Before we even understood what was happening, there were flames all around. Visibility dropped instantly. All I could see was fire, then smoke," the teacher said. 'Both of my hands were burnt. I'm also experiencing breathing difficulties, and my face and ears are scorched, the teacher added. Other witnesses said many injured people were carried away by spontaneous volunteers and army troops from the crash site, even in rickshaws and tricycle vans. 'We transported some of the injured with burns onto rickshaws and vans. Their clothes were ripped apart, torn, and some even were walking towards rescue vehicles with burn injuries on their bodies," said Nuruzzaman Mridha, a teacher of the school. Rafiqa Taha, a student who was not present at the time of the crash, told The Associated Press that the school offers classes from elementary to twelfth grade. 'A third-grade student was brought in dead, and three others, aged 12, 14 and 40, were admitted to the hospital," said Bidhan Sarker, head of the burn unit at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, where some victims were taken. 'When I was picking up my kids and went to the gate, I realised something came from behind. I heard an explosion. When I looked back, I only saw fire and smoke," said Masud Tarik, a teacher at the school. Many relatives waited overnight at a specialised burn hospital for the bodies of their loved ones. Around midnight, Mohammed Abdur Rahim was looking for his cousin Afia Akter in a hospital. 'We could not find my cousin. She is missing. Doctors here have asked us to go to other hospitals," he told The Associated Press. Students said the school's buildings trembled violently, followed by a big explosion that sent them running for safety. A desperate scene soon unfolded at the crash site, as panicked relatives searched for loved ones. Screams filled the air at a nearby hospital. At the crash site, a father sprinted with his daughter cradled in his arms. A mother cried out, having found her younger child, but desperately searched for her older one. Another father described his feeling of helplessness while waiting to learn the fate of his daughter. 'The plane crashed into the building where my daughter was. My wife called me, but I was praying, so I could not pick up," Jewel, who goes by one name, said at the scene. 'When I came here, I saw there was a huge fire. There was a dead body of a child." Luckily, his daughter was safe, he said, but he saw many other children suffering from burns. Students also scrambled to see what had happened. 'We fought with the crowd and the soldiers to get close to the crash site in our school," said Estiak Elahi Khan, who is in the 11th grade. 'What I saw I can't describe that, that's terrible," Khan added. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 22, 2025, 08:50 IST News world 'Hands Burnt, Face Scorched': Eyewitnesses At Dhaka School Recall Bangladesh Jet Crash Horror Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
