Jeremy Clarkson was rendered speechless after a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire broke a 14-year-old record.
Tonight's episode started with six new contestants, but if they wanted a chance to win £1m they'd have to come top of 'Fastest Finger First'. Starting the show, Jeremy asked the players to put four birds in order from the heaviest to the lightest weight.
The options were ostrich, hummingbird, blackbird and chicken. Three of the six contestants answered the question in the correct order - ostrich, chicken, blackbird, hummingbird.

However, host Jeremy was shocked that contestant Michelle Brook had answered the question in 0.74 seconds. Sharing in the audience's round of applause, Jeremy was initially speechless.
As Michelle took a seat, Jeremy said: "I can't believe that, 0.74 seconds, that's less than a second. We've established that your fingers work very well, but what about this?", as he pointed to his brain.
Michelle said: "Hopefully the adrenaline will help, we'll see how we go."
While it wasn't announced on the show, Michelle's time of 0.74 seconds is actually a new record. Previously, contestant Jonathan Pash held the UK title having set a time of 0.97 seconds in May 2008.
A contestant on the Spanish version of the show currently holds the world record. Emilia Busquets answered Fastest Finger First in 0.06 seconds in November 1999.
