Dairy Farmer Andrew Frampton Is On TV Again

Only 4 months ago, we watched local dairy farmer and councillor, Andrew Frampton lose his opportunity to win money to buy himself a new plough on Michael McIntyre’s BBC show ‘The Wheel‘. Yesterday on social media, Andrew declared he is at it again: “So having humiliated myself on gameshows its time to branch out and humiliate myself on quiz shows.”

This time he is appearing on Channel 4 in a new afternoon quiz show, ‘The Answer Trap‘ hosted by Anita Rani.

  • Host Anita Rani will challenge the teams to place answers from a series of lists into their relevant categories. However not all the answers belong in the categories, some are devilish decoys – Answer Traps.
  • The Answer Traps have been set by iconic quizzers Bobby Seagull and Frank Paul, with the brainiacs competing to see who can catch the most players in their traps.
  • If the teams can assign the answers to the correct categories and avoid the traps, they get the opportunity to play for a £10,000 jackpot on the final question.

Teams?

Yes! This time Andrew is not competing alone. He has the help and extra brainpower from his sister, Gillian Yeates.  Andrew commented “Expect my usual lack of general knowledge to shine through.”
Tune in or record –

  • Friday 21st May, 3pm on Channel 4

Good luck to you both!

Local Dairy Farmer On Next Saturday Night’s TV

Local dairy farmer and Parish Councillor, Andrew Frampton is making a return to the small screen next Saturday on BBC1 at 8.30pm.  He is taking part in Michael McIntyre’s new prime TV show, The Wheel.

The Wheel is a general knowledge quiz show in which seven celebrities are strapped to the circumference of the giant wheel. Each celebrity has brought one area of expertise to the show – and it is on these areas that the contestants must answer questions.
The contestants themselves are underneath The Wheel, on another smaller wheel! This Contestant Wheel is spun, and whichever contestant is randomly selected, rises up on their chair, to take their place at the centre of The Wheel and begin the game. The contestant at the centre of The Wheel is in control – if they can stay there until the end of the show then they could win a life-changing sum of money. However, one wrong answer or spin of The Wheel and they’ll be back down to the Contestant Wheel, and they might never return… Once all seven categories have been completed, whichever contestant is in control of The Wheel faces one final question to try and take home a huge sum of money. They’ve got just 30 seconds to discuss the question with their chosen celebrity expert, before they must lock in their answer. If they get it right, they take home the cash. Get it wrong however, and they’re off The Wheel, opening the door to one of the other players.

As 3 contestants take part in each show, Andrew has a 1 in 3 chance of winning.  You will have to watch on Saturday 16th January, night to see how he does.

Andrew is no stranger to television or taking part in TV shows having starred in one of the first reality TV shows called Chained in 2001 where he was chained to a woman and five other men for a week with one man being let off the chain each day until the woman found her perfect match. Andrew reached the final two!
Andrew was also a contestant in Jason Manford‘s game show First and Last in 2019 but was eliminated in the second round.
When asked how he got involved with this latest one Andrew replied, “I saw a flier for the new show back in July and the huge prize money caught my eye! I filled in an online form then the next day had a phone call where I had to talk about myself for three minutes and then answer a 25 general knowledge questions. Following that I had another audition on Zoom where we were filmed and were given very hard quiz questions and had to work out the answers. I got the phone call in September to say I had been offered a place as a contestant subject to a criminal record checks and physiological analysis as a duty of care from the production company. They filmed 10 episodes in Mid October in a converted aircraft hanger in Hertfordshire recording two shows a day. There was an audience there but all were socially distanced and with masks. I met Michael before the show and he told us we weren’t allowed to win any more money than he was getting paid!“.

The seven celebrities on Andrew‘s episode are: Sophie Ellis-Bexter, Greg Wallace, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, Jay Blades (Repair Shop), Natalie Cassidy (Eastenders), Dr Alex George (Love Island) & Trevor Nelson (Radio 2).

Catch Andrew at 20:30hrs on BBC 1 next Saturday, 16th January as he tries to get a spot on the wheel and have a chance of winning a huge amount of money. 

Good luck Andrew!
