Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? How new ITV spin-off Fastest Finger First ties into main show

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? returned to TV screens on Saturday night for its eighth series under former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson. Once more, members of the general public answered 15 questions in a bid to win a life-changing £1,000,000.

The global hit game show made its ITV comeback in May 2018 to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary and in 2020, the series crowned its first millionaire in 14 years. Over the years, the show's format hasn't changed too much but during the new series, viewers appeared to be confused by a shock twist that was introduced.

This series' first five contestants have won their spot on the show by winning sister show, Fastest Finger First, which is hosted by Anita Rani on the same channel. As the name suggests, Fastest Finger First expands on the first round of Millionaire, where contestants have to put their answers to a multiple-choice question, in a specific order.
