Controversy
Brydges' participation on the show has raised the ire of Brydges' neighbour, Sarah Elliott, who said "Bob is loaded. When I found out he was going on the show I knew he would win. He’s as sharp as a razor and has no problem under pressure. But gambling on the tricky questions must be a lot easier when you’re already worth millions. I suppose £16,000 must seem like loose change to him.". A spokesperson for Celador responded "Everybody has an equal chance to get on. It is impossible for us to check how much money people already have when they get on the show. We'd love a penniless binman as our next winner, but it never happens."<ref name="digitalspy"/>
