Ali Ogilvie, 34, faced questions on a range of general knowledge subjects when she appeared on the day-time quiz-show.

But she didn't see the show go out this week – because since filming she has emigrated to Australia.

Ali lived in Ketley and then Shifnal for seven years but moved to Adelaide at the end of March.

She filmed her episodes a few months before she left. She said: "I am a massive fan of the show.

"I used to play along at home and seemed to do all right – hence why I figured I should have a go and apply.

"I went to London for filming and it took half a day.

"The production team were lovely though and made it all feel like fun.

"We were in the studio next door to where they film This Morning so we kept seeing all their celebrity guests, including JLS and Rebecca Brooks, go past.

"It was quite weird being in a TV studio, aside from the cameras and the bright lights it was odd being on a set you see every day on the TV.

"I have never been on TV before and I didn't get to watch this time because I am currently living in Adelaide."

In her turn on the game show, Ali lost out on her individual chase round so didn't make it to the final 'team' chase.
