A bar manager showed off his love of rugby when he appeared in the Grand Final of Mastermind.
Ben Spicer was one of five in the all-male final screened on BBC2 last night.Ben, aged 26, chose the British Lions as his specialist subject, scoring 10.
And his love of rugby was featured in the show as each contestant was profiled prior to their first round.Ben, who works at the Bassa Villa in Bridgnorth, is a former Bridgnorth Endowed pupil and ex-pizza delivery driver. He had dressed up as a Peaky Blinder for his specialist subject during the heats and wore a guitar shirt for the semi-finals as he answered questions on his specialist subject of Coldplay. Last night he donned a more modest suit – but wore a British Lions tie.
While the final was recorded in November, Ben says he had remained tight-lipped until last night as to how he faired. Nick Bevon, who runs the Bassa Villa in Cartway said everybody at the pub was “incredibly proud” of their barman. He held a special night, allowing locals to come and watch the local brainbox take on the other Mastermind finalists.
