Tony Bellew won over ITV viewers on Sunday night after he bagged a staggering amount of money on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire for charity.

The I’m A Celebrity star took to the H๏τ seat and started by calling himself ‘stupid’ as host Jeremy Clarkson asked the first question. 

The former boxer had a rocky start after Jeremy was forced to help him on the first question for £100. 

The question read, ‘Which of these is a term meaning to socialise with other people, especially those who are deemed important?’ 

Tony admitted he was ‘not a mastermind’ as he has been ‘hit in the head repeatedly for 25 years’ and had no idea out of the four options, ‘digestive, ginger nut, shortbread and hobnob’. 

Eventually Jeremy didn’t want to see Tony go home empty handed and told him that the answer was ‘D hobnob’.

Tony revealed that his aim on the show was to beat his rival David Haye’s win of £8,000 after beating him in the ring twice.

After the £2,000 question, Jeremy asked the boxer whether he’d like to set his safety net at £4,000. Responding, Tony said: ‘I can’t do that yet. You know what, I’m not going to lie I think I shouldn’t really tell you my thinking process out loud because it lets everyone know how stupid I really am.’

However, Tony ‘hit back’ at the audience, joking: ‘I’ve got an excuse for being stupid, I’ve been punched in the face for 25 years. You lot have got no excuse like that. You can’t get away with it. I’ve got a great excuse, you haven’t. I’m just not the brightest, I’m not the sharpest’. 

After a bit more of Jeremy’s help and using a lifeline, Tony set his safety net at £16,000 before using his phone a friend on the £32,000 question. 

After running out of lifelines the huge £64,000 question was all down to Tony, who claimed before he had even seen the question, ‘I don’t know the answer to the next one.’

Despite insisting this, the boxer was very wrong and after hearing the question, which asked which footballer won both the UEFA European Championship and the UEFA Champions League in the same year, he risked an answer. 

After much deliberation between Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, he decided to go for Ronaldo, which happened to be the right answer.

However, Tony didn’t want to push his luck any further on the final question, choosing to walk away with a mᴀssive £64,000.
