Limitless Win: Ant & Dec reveal answer to Henry Hoover question
The latest instlament of Ant & Dec's Limitless Win caused uproad among fans after eagle-eyed viewers spotting a glaring error miniutes into the quiz show.
During Saturday's visit (January 11) to the ITV studios, the dynaic duo welcomed two new players onto the programme hoping to put their general knowledge to the test in order to take home the eye-watering cash prize.
This week, they welcomed contestants Richard and Lorna onto the show, hoping to earn enough on the show to bring their "friends and family to a big villa somewhere in Europe."
Everything seemed to be going smoothly with £30,000 in the bank until they were asked: "In meters, how long is the electrical cable on a standard Henry vacuum cleaner?"
After debating it between themselves they settled on 8 metres, however Ant and Dec revealed that the answer was actually 10, meaning they lost two lives on the board.
However, dedicated viewers weren't convinced and took to google where the answer appeared to be 8.4 metres. Many viewers took to X to point out what they believed was a glaring error on the part of the show which prevented the couple adding to their prize pot.
One opined: "Interesting. Google has the Henry cable at 8.4m. Interesting for £250k #limitlesswin." "When Google says 8.4m yet @antanddec Limitless Win says 10m #limitlesswin," another commented alongside a screengrab of Google's response.
A third simply posted: "Erm?? @antanddec #limitlesswin," alongside a screengrab of a Google search also clearly showing the cable length as 8.4m. A fourth demanded: "Pay up @ITV #limitlesswin Clearly they were right!"
Meanwhile another viewer just found the question ludicrous asking: "Who the hell is gonna know how long a wire on a hoover is. #LimitlessWin."

They cashed out with £30,000 and appeared emotional back stage as they embraced following their decision.
