Lewis Capaldi has struck internet gold once again with his hilarious responses to being the subject of a question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? this week.

The show saw contestant Clea Rawinsky in the hot seat opposite host Jeremy Clarkson hoping to secure £32,000.

Jeremy asked: "Who recorded the UK number one album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent?"

Four options appeared on the screen, with Clea choosing between Robbie Williams, Billie Eilish, Stormzy, and Lewis Capaldi.

However, Clea didn't know the answer and used up both her phone a friend and 50/50 lifelines, having no luck with either.
