Gary Lineker is terrible at quizzes
The 62-year-old star hosts the ITV quiz show 'Sitting on a Fortune' - but Gary admits that it hasn't helped his own skills at all.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I’m terrible at games and quizzes.
"The answer is always on the tip of my tongue. I can never remember names!
"It’s a one-off for me to do this kind of show. I’d never thought about doing something like this before but I love doing it.
"It’s a lovely feeling changing someone’s life. Really often the contestants just want to help someone in their family, their mum or their children, with the money."
Gary is now keen to host a celebrity version of the show.
The TV presenter - who also hosts 'Match of the Day' - said: "I think it's a possibility for us to do a full series with celebrities
"I think the cash has to go to charity … I don’t think the celebrities can get away with that one!
"I’m really pleased with how 'Sitting on a Fortune' has been received. The figures have been good and the feedback’s been excellent.
"Hopefully we can just do lots of series and give lots of people lots of money.
“I really enjoy it because it’s a totally different skill to all the other things I've done."
Meanwhile, Gary recently revealed that he has "a lot of fun" with the show's contestants.
The former sports star admitted that he relished the challenge of hosting 'Sitting on a Fortune'.
Asked how he felt to be returning for a second series, Gary said: "It feels great to be hosting again. It’s so different to my usual football duties and variety is the spice of life, isn’t it? We have a lot of fun with the contestants - there are always lots of jokes flying about and who doesn’t enjoy a good old quiz?"
