Fans of The Wheel have blasted Helen Flanagan after she got a question they deemed ‘very simple’ wrong.
Viewers were left speechless after the former Coronation Street star, 34, struggled with the seemingly obvious answer.
During Saturday’s episode of the show, host Michael McIntyre, 48, introduced the Money Spinner round.
The exciting round gives celebrities the chance to increase the contestant’s cash prize by £1,000 for each question correctly answered.
If the celebrities, who are on hand to help out hopeful winners, finish a full round without a single wrong answer, they can boost the contestant’s money by £10,000.

They commented: ‘The only thing I remember from The Wheel is that I didn’t think my screen worked. And that Helen Flanagan gave some mad answers’ ;
‘Just caught part of a catch up of yesterday’s #TheWheel … The Money Spinner bit; “Name any Officer or Rank in the UK Army… “

‘Stop The World .. I need to get off.’;
‘Helen proving her skills lie elsewhere . .;
‘Oh Helen, Army isn’t an answer haha. #TheWheel’.
