This Celebrity Mastermind answer will make you see Greta Thunberg in a whole new light
As is traditional during the festive season, many TV quiz shows have been airing their celebrity episodes, including that most serious of programmes, Mastermind.
One episode featured actress Amanda Henderson, who had a panicky black-chair moment when asked a question about climate activist, Greta Thunberg.

Unless she actually lives in the parallel universe of Casualty, there’s no way she didn’t know the answer, so we’re chalking that one up to understandable nerves, but we know we’re going to think of Miss Thunberg as “Sharon” from now on.
This is what people had to say about the slip-up.

Amanda can console herself with the knowledge that she wasn’t the only celebrity quiz contestant having a hard time.
Nearly as good as Celebrity Tipping Point this week. – Who was the monarch at the start of the 20th Century? – Answer given "Margaret Thatcher"

In case you were wondering, after a tie-break round, Amanda was pipped to the win by comedian Geoff Norcott, so not such a bad day after all.
