MEL B failed to help a contestant on The Wheel get a question right about hit movie Bridesmaids – but did you know the answer?
Contestant Raj was asked the question: “In the 2011 film ‘Bridesmaids’, the characters made the mistake of going to which type of restaurant before their dress fitting?”

The question, which was worth £3,000 in the bank, had four answer options: Chinese, Brazilian, Mexican or Indian.
Raj appeared confused as he revealed: “Never seen the film, can’t think of Bridesmaids, doesn’t ring a bell to me, so I’m thinking it’s gotta be somewhere where it’s messy.”
Mel B added, “And spicy,” as Raj continued: “The obvious spicy is Indian that I can think of.”
Host Michael McIntyre joked: “When it comes to spice, I feel like you’ve gone to the right person.”
Mel, who got married in Morocco earlier this year, expressed: “I think you’re right, Mexican can be pretty spicy, but Indian is really spicy. But I’m trying to think of the movie because I have seen that movie many, many times and it doesn’t ring a bell, exactly which restaurant it is.
“I’m kind of leaning what you’re saying, Indian, but then again Mexican food is very popular in America.
“Chinese not so much, Brazilian food is very popular in America too, that’s kind of spicy.”
Raj decided to lock in the answer of Mexican as Michael exclaimed: “Let’s find out if you’re on this wheel or off the wheel.”
As they waited with bated breath for the answer, Spice Girl Mel B mumbled: “I’ll feel so bad if you haven’t got it.”
It was then announced that Mexican was the wrong answer, with the right answer being Brazlian – would you have got the answer right?
A defeated Raj said: “I wouldn’t have even thought about Brazilian,” as Michael told the contestant: “Well unfortunately Raj, you’re off the wheel but of course, there’s so much of the game still go.”
Mel mouthed to Raj: “I’m so sorry,” as he nervously laughed it off.
BBC One star Michael added: “Remember you can come back up, it’s one in three, but it’s goodbye to Raj already.”
On an episode that aired in August this year, Anthony, from London, found himself with an opportunity to win £72,000.
With assistance from Married At First Sight dating coach Mel Schilling, he had to correctly answer a difficult question about bird eggs.
It read: “Which of these domesticated birds typically lays the heaviest eggs?”
The four possible answers included either Chicken, Duck, Goose or Turkey.
Following a quick conversation, Anthony and Mel both agreed Goose was likely correct.
After locking that in, the contestant was soon delighted as his £72,000 win was confirmed.
Anthony’s joy was on full display as he celebrated securing the jackpot.
Speaking afterwards, Anthony told host Michael: “I can’t put it into words. It’s amazing. My family always say to me, ‘Go on a game show, you’ll win it, you always know so much things.’
“And I’m just like ‘yeah, okay, I’ll try this one’ and to actually have won the money. It’s crazy – my whole family, I’m taking them away.
“Wedding, not have to think about money….”, before becoming emotional and covering his face.”
The Wheel airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
