Mastermind contest goes viral for wearing outfit to match specialist subject

A Mastermind contestant has gone viral after sporting an outfit which matched her specialists subject so perfectly it was even an answer to one of the questions.

Policy researcher Emily Medhurst appeared on the BBC quiz show on Monday (17 August) to answer questions on her chosen subject, Transport for London moquette - the fabric patterns covering seats on Tube trains.

Medhurst appeared wearing a vest top designed with a popular TfL moquette created by Jacqueline Groag - which featured in one of the questions asked by presenter Clive Myrie.

Fans on social media praised Medhurst for picking such a ‘niche’ specialist subject, with the Transport for London X account labelling it ‘the most iconic specialist subject ever.’
