A North East CBBC star has won Celebrity Mastermind in the latest episode last night for Teesside Charity.
First up was Guy Mowbray, Football Commentator, who was playing for the charity Sporting Memories with his specialist subject of Viking York.
Kirsten O’Brien, TV presenter and now Radio host, from Middlesbrough, was competing for Babies in Buscot Support & Teesside Hospice and chose the rogue subject of The Life of Daphne du Maurier.
The third star to sit in the chair was actor Tyger Drew-Honey whose chosen charity was Shelter and Turning Point, knuckling down the subject of The IT Crowd.
Former MP Justine Greening was last to play for the charity Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust and chose the subject of Judge John Bradshaw.
Mowbray, O’Brien, and Drew-Honey all got through the first round with no passes and scored eight points, whilst Greening managed to just pull ahead with nine points.
During the General Knowledge round, the tables turned as Mowbray and Drew-Honey only scored six points.
Greening impressed once again with eight points, but it was O’Brien who pipped her at the post and scored nine points.
Her last-minute score meant she was crowned the winner of the episode, and left Myrie to note: “ Kirsten congratulations, I suspect Otis is looking down from the lost thinking I am so proud.”
She laughed and added: “I’ll get him out and I will celebrate. Thank you so much.
“I will be putting this in front of everybody's faces every time I've said I am going on Celebrity Mastermind and ‘What's your subject? Daphne du Maurier, you?’ Yes. Me!”
After the show, O’Brien took to Instagram to share her happy news and show off her trophy “That was very exciting, the reality is, nice green dress [on screen], and at home wearing grinch slippers. Here’s what has been up on top of the wardrobe since last September, my brilliant trophy, which is quite weighty, which I am very, very happy about. I need some sort of contract with windowleen to keep it clean [laughs]. Thank you very much to everybody who has watched. I will be talking about it in the morning on BBC Radio Berkshire”’.
‘Brilliant! Well done!’ wrote comedian Sarah Millican in response.
Author Daisy Buchanan wrote: ‘Just watched it – YOU WERE AMAZING! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.’
‘Leg-end!!! Xxxx’ penned Radio Berkshire presenter KatiePTyler.
Mjwriter24 added: ‘Blooming ace that performance, that!!’
All Things Quiz stated on X: ‘You can always tell when someone has prepared well. She may not have aced the subject but Kirsten had clearly put the work in.’
