Trivia

 * The total amount of lost winnings in this series is £125,000.
 * Eleanor Ayres is the player to lose the largest sum of money of the series, after answering her £500,000 question incorrectly. She had her safety net at £125,000, so she lost £125,000. She is the biggest loser since Rob Mitchell in 2003. She’s also the first contestant to reach to the £500,000 question since John Gallantry in 2007. She became the first woman to get the £500,000 question wrong and had lost £125,000, which is the highest amount of money ever lost by a female contestant on the UK version of the show, breaking Sheila McHale's record.
 * Also, with going with 47% of the audience and answering it wrong, this is the first audience failure in the reboot version.
 * In the first episode, FFF failed, and it’s the first time since in 2010 and the fifth in the UK.
