The Ultimate News Quiz, hosted by Gary Lineker, concluded with Newsnight emerging as winners and Ipsos securing second place. The event, which saw BBC News finishing 13th, was praised for its superb performances and was brilliantly chaired by Lineker, who made 23 references to LCFC. A record sum of £271,000 was raised for Action for Children, marking a significant contribution to the charity. The quiz, which also featured a top 10 finish for 5 News and had Dan Walker as the host last year, benefited from the support of the Premier League.
Great time at the Ultimate News Quiz this week raising £271,000 for @actnforchildren I hosted last year & @GaryLineker did a brilliant job this time with only 23 references to @LCFC 😂 No win for @5_News but a decent top 10 finish 🏆 Thanks to the @premierleague for another… https://t.co/AFyuk5hLb7
