After 40 years on our television, Family Fortunes is still going strong and contestants are still coming up with answers that leaves the host stunned. And it happened again when the James family from Wales appeared on the latest show.
The question was 'Name a British pop group with both male and female members'. There was laughter all around when keen rugby player Joel hit the buzzer first and answered....."The Spice Girls."
After lots of eye rolling and laughter from Joel's family, host Gino D'Acampo asked: "Who is the man in the Spice Girls? It says in the flipping title Spice....Girls. Which one is the male there?" Joel, whose family were in hysterics, admits: "Not a clue."

Not surprisingly the answer was not on the board, but the Weatherley family of Newcastle didn't fare much better with contestant Matilda answering "Take That".
Gino said that was "worse" than the Spice Girls answer.
If he had answered Steps, Hear'Say or Bucks Fizz they would have made it onto the list.
The James team did go on to make it to the final and did take £10,000 after narrowly missing out on the £30,000 jackpot.
