Seann Walsh fumes ‘I’m unfollowing all of you’ as he’s voted off by celebs on The Weakest Link special
SEANN Walsh lashed out at his Weakest Link co-stars and declared he was ‘unfollowing them’ after a disaster on the show.
The comedian took part in a ‘Party Special’ of the BBC quiz but was left fuming after being voted off prematurely by his fellow celebrities.
Seann had been the strongest link during the first round of the game but was voted out by his competitors after the second round.
He was picked to leave by fellow competitors Babatunde Aléshé, Scarlett Moffatt and Richie Anderson.
Even host Romesh Ranganathan said: “This is, for so many reasons, unbelievable. It was an incredible decision.”
Waving his finger in the air, Sean told the celebrities: “I’m unfollowing all of you!”
Although Seann had answered one of his questions correctly, he had struggled with his second.
Romesh had asked: “In politics, which motoring manoeuvre that refers to the driver of a vehicle changing direction is a term used for an abrupt reversal of policy?”
Seann asked him to repeat the question, before hesitating and wrongly answering: “Indication.”
The correct answer was “U-turn”.
Richie used the error as his reasoning for voting Seann out.
“I think it was the time you took with the… I mean, you could have done a U-turn in that time!” he quipped.
As the celebrities gasped, Seann hit back: “Very good.”
Looking annoyed, Seann told Romesh he had been “daydreaming” when he was asked the question.
The actual weakest link for the second round was Ibiza Weekender and Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts.
David had been asked: “In fashion, the logo of which sportswear brand is officially known as a ‘swoosh’?”
He wrongly answered “Adidas”. The correct answer is “Nike“.
“I didn’t know what a swoosh was. If you’d have said tick, I would have said Nike,” David claimed to Romesh.
Speaking to the camera after he was dismissed from the stage, Seann blasted David’s ‘swoosh’ answer.
He said: “I didn’t feel I was the weakest link in the round.
“I love David, but ‘swoosh’? I would have got ‘swoosh’. If you just make the noise it does the tick! Swoosh! Adidas?!”
Do you have to pay tax on game show winnings in the UK?
Unlike in many other countries, such as the US, HMRC allows cash prizes from competitions and the National Lottery to be tax-free.
However, in order for the money to be seen as from a ‘competition’, there has to be a skill-based element, such as a quiz question, or the option of free entry.
This is why some competitions ask incredibly simple questions that even a five-year-old could answer, as they are trying to get around the requirement to offer a free entry option.
Former Gogglebox star Scarlett and radio and TV star Richie made it to the final round of The Weakest Link on Saturday night.
Scarlett ended up winning the show following a sudden death round.
She had been asked: “Which Prime Minister of the 21st Century has a surname that is an anagram of the word ‘romance’?”
Scarlett looked stumped before guessing: “David Cameron?”
She was stunned to be told it was the correct answer, meaning she had won £7,650 for her chosen charity, The Samaritans.
Scarlett is an ambassador for the organisation.
