But she hit an obstacle very early on in the game when she was asked: “I love Iain Stirling, he’s my second favourite person from Scotland, my No 1 has to be….”
After being given a few second to write down an answer – Laura sheepishly admitted she “couldn’t think of anyone from Scotland,” drawing gasp and laughter from the panel. Scot Iain stood up and yelled: “this is the strongest case for independence ive ever seen,” before yelling: “freedom.”
Fans at home were stunned. “The most blank thing on this is Laura’s brain,” penned one fan, while another added: “Oh dear Laura. Oh dear.”

Speaking to The Sun's TV Mag, Bradley said: "Paul was an absolute genius, and his passing is a great loss. There was something so wonderful about his character Lily Savage. She had the most cutting tongue and could get away with just about anything.
