Sign up for the TV newsletter Thank you! In the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire hot seat, Natalie admitted: “Geography is not a particularly good subject for me. I think maybe I’d like to ask you, Jeremy.” The ITV star replied: “I was terrified you’d say that. All right, here’s what I think. “Now then, I haven’t been to Titicaca, but the one thing I know about it is it’s phenomenally deep. “I’ve driven boats across the other three. I’ve got a water speed record on Lake Windermere. “I don’t think Windermere is the answer. And Lake Garda – that’s I think the biggest of the Italian lakes. This is a nightmare question.” He continued: “So I’m literally useless to you. I am so sorry. I’d love to be able to help you out here, Natalie, but that is my final answer.” Most read in Showbiz So Natalie decided to use her Phone A Friend lifeline and called her brother Dan, who was equally as confused. He offered up: “Ooh, that’s a tough one.” She ended up walking away with £32k Credit: ITV The answer was revealed as Lake Titicaca Credit: ITV “I’m too unsure. I can’t risk losing that much money. I think I’d like to take the money, please. Final answer,” Natalie stated. In the final moments, Jeremy asked: “If you’d have taken leave of your senses, what would you have gone for?” “Something in the back of my mind was saying Titicaca, I don’t know why.” But have YOU guessed the answer yet? Clarkson clarified: “If you’d have done that you would have reached your safety net. You’d have had £64,000. Never mind. “It’s deep and massive, as it turns out, and is the largest freshwater lake in South America. Windermere is England‘s largest lake. Garda is Italy‘s largest lake as we worked out and Tahoe is North America‘s largest alpine lake. “But they’re all dwarfed by Titicaca, which is deep and enormous. “You would have got the right answer, but I don’t blame you for not risking it. No, I really don’t.” Comment now
