Episode 7525

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7525 was broadcast on 8 June 2021, as part of Series 83.

Louis Ross played Jason Butler, with Louis Ross winning 88 – 83. The presenter was Nick Hewer, the Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Notably, Rachel Riley incorrectly stated Ross was the #4 Seed for the Finals when he was the #3 Seed as she had presumably factored in the extra ten points Adam Latchford had obtained during a tiebreaker conundrum.
