Former Coronation Street favourite Helen Flanagan suffered a spectacular collapse on BBC's Celebrity Weakest Link that left both viewers and host Romesh Ranganathan utterly bewildered.
The actress, best known for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, was eliminated in brutal fashion after demonstrating what can only be described as catastrophic general knowledge during the charity special episode.
Questionable Answers Stun Studio
Flanagan's performance reached its dramatic low point when faced with a question about the famous nursery rhyme character Little Miss Muffet. When asked what the children's character was eating, the 33-year-old mother-of-three offered the baffling response: "I want to say pasta?"
The correct answer - curds and whey - seemed miles away from Flanagan's culinary guess, prompting immediate reactions across social media platforms.
Social Media Erupts
Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) in their droves to express their astonishment at Flanagan's quiz performance. One stunned viewer commented: "Helen Flanagan on Weakest Link is the funniest thing I've seen all year. How can someone not know Little Miss Muffet ate curds and whey?"
Another added: "Watching Helen Flanagan on Celebrity Weakest Link is pure television gold. She's absolutely clueless!"
Romesh's Brutal Honesty
Host Romesh Ranganathan didn't hold back during the episode, delivering his signature deadpan humour throughout Flanagan's struggling performance. The comedian's incredulous reactions provided additional entertainment value as the former soap star continued to falter under pressure.
The episode, which aired as part of a charity special, also featured other celebrities including Melvin Odoom and Lucy-Jo Hudson, but it was Flanagan's memorable performance that dominated post-show discussions.
From Cobbles to Quiz Catastrophe
Flanagan, who recently appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, has maintained a significant public profile since her Coronation Street days. However, her Weakest Link appearance has introduced her to a new audience for all the wrong reasons.
Despite the embarrassing moment, the episode served its charitable purpose, raising funds for worthy causes while providing unforgettable entertainment for BBC viewers.
