ITV Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? fans showered contestant Mainga Bhima with praise last night (Sunday February 7) for her beauty.
And it seems it wasn’t just viewers of the hit quiz show who thought she was lovely – they claimed that host Jeremy Clarkson was also smitten with her.
What happened to Mainga on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Medical student Mainga strode down into the pit and immediately looked at home.
Wearing an animal-print jumpsuit with her hair up in a scarf, she radiated charm and confidence.

And, not only was she beautiful – she eased through the early rounds, bagging £64k.
On one of her questions, Mainga was asked: “In 2013, Penguin merged with which other company to form the world’s largest book publisher?”
The answer options were, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Pan Macmillan and Harper Collins.
Mainga looked thrilled and said: “I can’t believe this. I used to work there. I was there when they merged! It was Random House!
“So I worked at Random House Publishers and then we merged with Penguin to become Penguin Random House.”
Although she failed to answer the £250,000 question correctly, viewers were already smitten.
This woman is so sassy – I love her! #wwtbam

Was host Jeremy Clarkson smitten as much as the audience at home?
Yes, it did look as though host Jeremy was a little smitten with Mainga.
When she got the £125k question wrong, he said: “Well, it’s obviously sad because I was enjoying your company.
“I was hoping you would go very far because you did have a lifeline left.”
