Sheffield's Dan Walker raises £32k on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - but Jeremy Clarkson was no use to him

Dan’s chosen charity was the Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust when he appeared on a celebrity special of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? earlier this week.

John Armstrong, Chief Executive at The Children’s Hospital Charity, tweeted: “Absolutely amazing, thank you @mrdanwalker - thanks to all your correct answers we will receive a fantastic £32,000! This donation will help us to continue to deliver the best possible care for all the children and young people that come to @SheffChildrens. Thank you!”

But Dan, who lives in Sheffield, was disappointed not to have been able to double his winnings after he used his ‘ask the host’ lifeline, but Jeremy Clarkson was unable to help him.

The question that stumped both Dan Walker and Jeremy Clarkson was “‘Hell is other people’ is the English translation of a famous line in a play by which writer?”. Their options were Jean-Paul Sartre, Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov and Bertolt Brecht.

After Clarkson couldn’t assist him, Dan used his 50/50 lifeline but unfortunately guessed the wrong answer and his time on the show came to an end.

Dan Walker took to Twitter after the show was aired and said: “Delighted to win £32,000 for @SheffChildrens. Gutted it wasn’t more for such a great charity. Annoyingly, my other phone-a-friend was Sally Nugent and she knew it was Jean-Paul Sartre. Thanks for watching.”
