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.

Fans of The Wheel have blasted Helen Flanagan after she got a very simple question wrong during the Money Spinner Round

Michael fired a series of military-related questions including naming any rank in the army and boxer Tony Bellew was first up, easily answering the host but Helen seemed to struggle

The model panicked and simply answered ‘Army?’ and a dumbstruck Michael simply told Helen it was not correct before the soap star attempted to explain herself

Typically the first question is an easyso that the celebs can build some momentum.

Michael fired a series of military-related questions at the celebrities, and boxer Tony Bellew was first up.

And he flew through the question, easily naming a rank or officer in the British Army.

Other celebrities who also answered their questions correctly included Josie Gibson, Anton Du Beke, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Steph McGovern, and Richard Osman, all pᴀssing with flying colours. 

But as soon as it got to Helen, the model panicked and simply answered: ‘Army?’.

The comedian was so shocked he simply told Helen it was not correct, before the soap star attempted to explain herself. 

She said: ‘I didn’t know, I’m so sorry. I’m so H๏τ! I got so red, I really didn’t know. As soon as you said it, I was just like, “Wow, no idea.”‘

And viewers of the show took to X to express their shock that Helen found the question so difficult.

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… “

‘Helen Flanaghan (Expert in… Peppa Pig BTW!) “Army” …

‘Stop The World .. I need to get off.’;

‘Helen proving her skills lie elsewhere . .;

‘Oh Helen, Army isn’t an answer haha. #TheWheel’.

Helen didn’t manage to help out the contestants on the show, and instead it was contestant Tiago who faced the last question after being helped by Josie Gibson. 

And it paid off for Tiago who managed to bag the final prize of £82,000. 

Helen’s lack of Army knowledge is not the only surprising thing to have hit the quiz show. 

Helen’s lack of Army knowledge is not the only surprising thing to have hit the quiz show as last month Robbie Williams made a surprise appearance 

Robbie couldn’t contain his smile as he waved as Michael said: ‘No! That’s done something weird to my brain. OK, so hi, how’s it going?’ and Michael went over to shake his hand 

Last month Robbie Williams left Michael completely stunned as he gatecrashed the new series of his hit BBC show.

The Angels hitmaker, 50, also left his wife Ayda Field stunned, as she was starring on the game show solo, playing as an expert on Robbie.

However, as Michael introduced a civilian contestant to the compeтιтion, Robbie made a surprise appearance as he was raised in the centre chair from under the studio floor.

Robbie couldn’t contain his smile as he waved as Michael said: ‘No! That’s done something weird to my brain. Okay, so hi, how’s it going?’

The Let Me Entertain You singer introduced himself just like any contestant and shook Michael’s hand, quipping: ‘I’m Robbie, I’m 50 and I’m from Stoke-On-Trent.’
