Weakest Link contestant becomes an internet sensation with a side-splitting response, mistaking tennis legend Andre Agassi for wrestling legend Andre the Giant – leaving viewers in stitches!
A Weakest Link contestant has become an internet sensation after mixing up tennis champion Andre Agassi with wrestling legend Andre the Giant. In a recent episode of the quiz show, viewers and participants were surprised by one contestant's response to a question about tennis history.
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan hosted a radio special of the TV quiz show, with BBC 1 presenter Vicky Hawkesworth's response causing laughter and disbelief among the other participants. Vicky Hawkesworth, Fi Glover, and Owain Wyn Evans were stumped by a supposedly simple tennis question, "In sport, the US-born tennis player who in the 1990s won all four Grand Slams and an Olympic gold medal is Andre who?"

However, the segment quickly shifted when Hawkesworth confidently replied with the incorrect answer, "the Giant." The contestant mistook the well-known tennis player Andre Agassi for the professional wrestler Andre the Giant. The correct answer was actually the eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi.
After she responded, fellow contestant Rick Edwards couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the same reaction was echoed by many viewers watching from their homes. The clip, which has now been shared online, quickly went viral across social media platforms. There were numerous comments from people expressing their amusement at the moment.
