Bridge of Lies contestant gets question about Ally McCoist spectacularly wrong

Viewers of BBC One show Bridge of Lies were left fuming after a contestant got a question about former Rangers football player and manager Ally McCoist so ironically wrong.

As reported by the Scottish Sun, contestant Becky made the obvious blunder on host Ross Kemps new gameshow on BBC One, where competitors must cross a 'bridge' by guessing the incorrect statements.

So far in the show, Becky had gotten through the Big in the 80s category, and joined teammate Kirstie in the final round of the show.

Other teammates Josh and Rax weren't so lucky as they both got put out in the earlier rounds.

Becky and Kirstie teamed up to face the final round as they made a bid to take home £775 of prize money.

However, Kirstie was eliminated three steps in, leaving Becky to fend for herself and the money.

Becky was given three statements, and she had to pick the truthful one out of the three to advance to the next stage.

The first one read: "The novel Little Women was written by Louisa May Alcott", while the third was, "Pi equals 4 to the nearest whole number".

And the one that everyone must've been screaming at the tv for, was this one: "'Ally McCoist scored more than 300 goals for Celtic FC."

Becky said: "Ok, so it's not Pi because Pi is 3.14, Ally McCoist was at Celtic... Oh, I'm going with Ally McCoist."

She then added: "I panicked. I'm on my own and I just didn't want to get in my own head. I wasn't 100% sure on Louisa May Alcott and Pi is 3.14."

Host Ross Kemp asked for clarification, "So, you're going for Ally McCoist scored more than 300 goals for Celtic."

To which Becky replied, laughing: "It sounds so outrageous that it might actually be true."

When the answer was revealed as the lie Kemp told her: "He did score more than 300 goals but he scored them for," but Becky cut him off by finishing, "Rangers".

She laughed and added: "It was one of the two! I'm not a football fan!"

Fans took to social media to joke about the clear mistake, but not everyone was so jokey, with one viewer writing: "Ally McCoist at Celtic? #BridgeOfLies".

Another posted: "Ally McCoist scored more than 300 goals for Celtic" with a series of laughing face emojis.

And another added: "Hell would freeze over first!!!"

But she took it well as she laughed after getting the question wrong. (BBC)
