Trivia[]

Beattie holds the rather unwanted record for the most money ever lost by a contestant on the UK version in the reboot version of the show who didn't use a lifeline (£15,000), the record previously held by Sarah Pennick in 2019, matched by Sanjay Basu in 2020 but still behind by Paul Cleary whom lost £32,000 without using a lifeline back in 2002.
