John - with each of them picking a specialist subject.

encouraged him to apply for the show before her passing.

He sweetly said: 'Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think I'd be
standing here!'
Clive then said to him: 'You've done it, you've got 24 points.'
John then responded: 'I was very much instructed by my wife to apply. And if
you knew Caroline, you wouldn't have any doubt that I duly applied.
'But it was sad, my darling wife Caroline unfortunately died as the show was
about to be made. So this one is for you, Caro.'
Fans were left in tears after the emotional moment as they penned on X: 'The
man who won Mastermind tonight said his wife died just before the show was
filmed and it was all for her I can't deal with this.',
'Did not have getting emotional at an episode of #mastermind on my 2024 bingo
card. John you are a wee dote. I hope your lovely wife is watching down on you
smiling!',
'Oh John. Caroline would have been so proud of you.',
'Wasn't expecting that bombshell John, my fave subject ever, Rummy of course,
and then the close, I'm not welling up!!! #mastermind.'
It comes after last month Clive apologised after failing to declare at least
£65,000 of earnings from corporate events.
The Mastermind host earned the money from corporate events over the last 12
months, including speeches at functions hosted by Dutch• Нидерланды bank ING• Объект бренды » Бренды на i » ING and the Royal

On top of his £310,000-a-year salary for presenting the News At One, News At
Six and News At Ten, Clive earns an undisclosed sum for his work on the quiz
show.
Clive, 60, received income for a total of eleven events over the past year,
earning between £5,000 and £10,000 for nine of them, and over £10,000 for the
remaining two, the Sunday Times• Средства массовой информации » Средства массовой информации Великобритании » Газеты Великобритании » The Sunday Times
