Both Lionel Wilson & Sergio Cortes won £32k, so once again easy maths for me tonight: £64k in total. Series total at £285k. Jo is currently on £16k with 2 lifelines available when she returns next week. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

And that's the klaxon. Jo won't be doing any more question answering at this point. She'll have to wait until next Sunday once this temporal disruption passes over. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

Jo's doing okay, just that slight scare that has used up a lifeline. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

Jo Crouch is next to play as she was the only one to get that Fastest Finger question right. That klaxon could strike at anyti, so she'll want to make quick progress within the next 10 minutes. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

Didn't seem like either lifelines was of any help, so Sergio has called it quits at £32k after 2 very tricky questions. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

Took 2 lifelines to get there. And a bit of banter later, the safe haven is set at £64k... provided Sergio gets there. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

Near perfection. 4 for that one right. Sergio Cortes takes that one & his place in the chair. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

Oh dear. Lionel was motoring up the money tree, but that wrong answer has brought him to a halt. £32k was his safe haven & that's what he heads home with. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

This turf war has reached its end & a conquerer has emerged. Congratulations to Stephen, The Floor GRAND CHAMPION 2026 & winner of £50k!! #TheFloor #Champion #TheWinner

We started with 81 contestants, now we're down to 2. Now it's time to crown a champion. This is for all the marbles. All the best to the super-finalists. #TheFloor #superfinal

So it has come down to this. Stephen VS Lucy W in the super-final, which will be contested in a best of 3 format. The winner of this will be crowned champion & collect that £50k. #TheFloor

George has been given the black flag. He has capitulated. Stephen is through to the super-final. #TheFloor

Formula 1 is the next category. Stephen is chosen, so Lucy is guaranteed to contest the super-final. Either Stephen or George will be her opponent. #TheFloor

The stock market has been CRASHED!!! George is on a roll. He is now 2 wins away from £50k. #TheFloor

Bold statement, but then again with £50k on the line, I guess you have to be bold. #TheFloor

Near perfect, but Jadon messed up on Candy Crush & Google Play Store. Gemma is the new leader. #TheFloor

That was mighty tense. Goodness me. #TheFloor

That leaves just one player left to play. Magz, it's time to play. #TheFloor

It's goodbye Katie, but £10k is not to be sniffed at. Jadon has been in hiding all series long & now all of a sudden, he's the new leader. #TheFloor

The final is now underway. Every single duel will be absolutely critical this evening, so may the best player win and let the competition begin. #TheFloor

A week ago on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Lionel Wilson got to £2k, though had to use the Ask the Audience lifeline in the process. He returns to the studio at 8:00pm this evening on ITV 1 to continue his run with 3 lifelines still available to him. #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire

We have seen quizzical turf war in action these past 2 months, but tonight at 6:55pm on ITV 1, it all must cease at the GRAND FINAL of The Floor. Only 9 players remain, some of them haven't even played yet, but either way, one of that lot will win £50k. #TheFloor #grandfinal

The new season & the new era is now underway, but believe me, we're only just getting started & ironically enough, we already have a sprint weekend in prospect next week in China, so double the points scoring opportunities. #F1

Let's now look at the constructors championship leaderboard. Mercedes with maximum points & Ferrari with the 2nd best total. Williams, Cadillac & Aston Martin drawing blanks early door. #F1

Here are the first leaderboards of the year, beginning as ever with the drivers championship. Goes without saying that the results from today's opening race make up the initial leaderboard, so Russell leads the championship for the very first time. #F1

As far as points are concerned, it's still only the top 10 that score. Here are today's points scorers. #F1 #AusGP

2 didn't make the start & 3 did not get to the end, so out of 22 drivers, just 17 just about made it to the chequered flag. Here's a look at the classification for the 2026 Australian Grand Prix. #F1 #AusGP

And now, the champagne is unleashed. #F1 #AusGP

That was a pretty hands-on kind of race with all sorts happening, and that's just the battery use. Anyways, the first podium of the year looks like this:

1: George Russell
2: Kimi Antonelli
3: Charles Leclerc

#F1 #AusGP

Big applause for Arvid Linblad, scoring 4 points in 8th on his debut in F1. And with Bearman in 7th, all 5 British drivers on the grid scoring a total of 57 points between them. First points for Audi thanks to Borteleto in 9th & Gaslt brings a point home for Alpine. #F1 #AusGP
