when the question was about the basic state pension to win the contents of the celebrity chest, they said the right answer was £61. I,ve just checked it online and the pension for 04/05 is £79.60 so the celebs were correct and should have got the contentsof the chest.
I think Paul should win as he is so funny when doing his trials! :laugh:

Funny you should say that Biddie, cos I thought that at the time. I actually became a pensioner this year (so they tell me anyway, I'm not convinced - lol) and had a bit of problem with my pension (not enough contributions) so was led to believe that I am only getting a percentage of the basic state pension (on my ex-husband's contributions) so it struck me as funny that I get more than £61.00. A bad mistake there and it cost them their treat :sad:

glad someone else drawing pension, dont feel old enough! I think ITV should admit their mistake and send in the contents. Sophie made me laugh when she thought it was 61p. :laugh:

Lol Eternity - it isn't so bad. Don't you just love the "Junior Membership" status :) I see I have been upgraded to "Member" now. Realised it goes on posts and not age.

Back to topic: Well I think Ant and Dec should do a forfeit .. right?

I have to say that I wondered at the time if sixty one quid was the correct answer.
Wonder if they will tell them?

Sophie made me hoot with laughter with her 'surely no-one can live on 61p'??

Doh - and she knew straight away what a donger she had made of herself!! Like she said herself a real model moment!:laugh:

I think Ant & Dec doing the forfeit is a brill idea, they should do the trial that Paul had to do and see how they like it!!
I think Joe will win cos Paul has been name dropping a bit too much.
