Presenters Ant and Dec struggled to contain their emotions after two players gambled and lost more than £1million on their show ITV show Limitless Win.
The gripping format offers contestants an endless money ladder, which they must climb by answering questions correctly.
Saturday’s final contestants were Kye and Lee and they impressed the dynamic duo right from the beginning.
The pair quickly built up money and rose up the limitless cash ladder and had £10k banked, however, following the rules of the game, if you go even one over the correct numeric answer then you lose the lot.
It all came to a head when they were asked a question over the length of a dinosaur skeleton owned by the Natural History Museum, but after a tense discussion, they said 30 metres and the board turned red and they were out of the game.
Viewers quickly took to Twitter to show support for the pair after Ant said: ‘The exact answer was 26 metres. You were four metres away from £1million.’
One person wrote: ‘Someone start a GoFundMe for Kye and Lee. I’m so sad for them.’
While another added: ‘When I win the lottery I’m going to find those two brothers and give them their 10k, gutted for them! #LimitlessWin.’
‘You played such a great game until that question. I’m gutted for you. Sorry. I’m really sorry,’ he added.
ITV recently confirmed that Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win has been renewed for a second series.
