Phone-In Competition: Wendy Turner[]

During the Christmas Special Chris and James took part in, audience members could take part in a phone-in competition on a premium line telephone number. By ringing the number, they would be put into a draw. At the end of every celebrity's turn, a random caller was selected, who would be given one question to receive half of what the celebrity pair won. The other half went to charity.

Wendy Turner of Epping, Essex was the caller selected.
