00:00As we test the general knowledge of stars representing England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
00:08Famous faces from all the best places and crawling.
00:11This is The Weakest Link.
00:23Behind me are eight celebrities who are really trying to win up to £50,000 for charity.
00:28But to do that, they'll have to work together.
00:31Seven will leave with nothing, as round by round we lose the player, voted The Weakest Link.
00:35And remember, if they win, their country is officially the best.
00:39It's legally binding. Let's meet the team.
00:43I'm Stephen, I'm an actor and I'm playing for England.
00:49I'm Jamie Lee, I'm an actress and I'm playing for Northern Ireland.
00:54I'm Paul, I'm a journalist and presenter and I'm representing Wales.
00:59I'm Amy, I'm a musician and I'm playing for Scotland.
01:04I'm Leomi, I'm a Model 1 TV presenter and I'm repping England.
01:10I'm Brona, I'm an actor and I'm playing for Northern Ireland.
01:14Josia Dewey, Kavarunith Dewey, representing Wales.
01:22I'm Gordon, a journalist and broadcaster and I'm playing for Scotland.
01:25That was beautiful, guys.
01:31It just goes to show you, it doesn't matter where you're from, we all have names.
01:36OK, good luck to you.
01:37Here come the rules.
01:38In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your target within the time limit.
01:43The target for round one is £2,500.
01:47The fastest way to get there is to work together to create a chain of eight correct answers.
01:52Get your question wrong, you break the chain and you lose all of the money in that chain.
01:56But if you press your button and say bank before the question is asked, the money is safe and you begin a new chain from scratch.
02:04You've got two minutes, 30 seconds for this round and we're going to start with the person most likely to make a TikTok about what people call bread rolls where they come from.

07:13I am absolutely mortified.
07:15Broner, you're unlucky.
07:16The truth is, everybody is hoping for somebody else to come unstuck, and unfortunately, you
07:22gave them that gift, which is, instead of Sting, you said, you're a man.
07:27You're a man.
07:28And I come from a family of musicians, and I will never live this down in my country or
07:32in my family.
07:32I'm mortified.
07:33OK.
07:34Well, listen, it feels like you're taking it well.
07:37Broner, I am genuinely so sorry to see you go home, but I'm afraid to say that with six
07:43votes, you are the weakest link.
07:46Goodbye.

34:28josie josey
34:34paul
34:39uh amy why did you vote for josie because paul's been my little my little neighbor through the
34:45whole thing okay so proximity it's just yeah we've been together through the whole thing
34:50Er, Paul, you said you didn't know anything about sports.
34:53I was really pleased to get Rory McIlroy.
34:55You had told me specifically you're not any good at sport,
34:57and then you smashed out a sports question.
34:59Yeah, I think cos he's been in the news quite a lot.
35:00OK, got it. I've heard his name a lot.
35:02What made you... I mean, the Welsh have really turned on each other here.
35:04I know. Why did you vote for Josie?
35:07I had to pick someone, and I felt there was a bit of hesitation from Josie.
35:11Erm, but, you know, Diane, Carrie T, all of that.
35:15I love her, but you've got to pick someone.
35:18Josie, how do you feel about how this has gone down?
35:20Erm, I think that there's no shame in going out
35:24when you actually aren't the weakest link that round,
35:26and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the weakest link that round,
35:29so I feel OK.
35:31Yeah, I mean, your face is suggesting that you're taking it well.
35:33What you're saying has a lot of venom in it, if you don't mind.
35:35Really?
35:36I mean, it just feels like you're going like this.
35:39Now, obviously, the verse can go whichever way they go.
35:43I mean, make us out what you will run that.
35:45Are you asking if you were the weakest link?
35:48Is that what you're asking, if you were actually the weakest link in that round?
35:50Yeah, go on, then.
35:53You were the strongest link in that round.
35:54Knew it! Knew it! Knew it!
35:56You were wrong.
35:57Just saying, everybody knows what went down today.
36:00Yeah, and you've also accepted that news so gracefully.
36:02As I would, because that's my character.
36:05But listen, Josie, you're unlucky, but I'm sorry to say that with two votes,
36:11you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
36:17That was my strongest round. That is the irony.
36:20I got all four of my questions right, I didn't get any wrong,
36:22and I didn't hesitate, and I banked, and yet I still got voted off,
36:26which must be having the curse of the strongest link in some strange way.
36:37Round seven, and it's Scotland versus Wales.
36:39You have banked £8,100.
36:42This time, you have just 90 seconds, but whatever you bank will be doubled,
36:46meaning this round is worth a possible £20,000.
36:50Now, normally, we'd go to the strongest link, but you just voted her off.
36:53So we're going to go to the second strongest link, and that is you, Amy.
