In the festive episode a celebrity team made up of Coronation Street actor Tony Maudsley, Pointless host Alexander Armstrong, Olympic gold medallist Bryony Page, and comedian Kerry Godliman went head to head with the formidable Chasers.
Bradley Walsh hosted the Christmas showdown – which ended in a victory for the celebrity team.
However, one question in particular left fans scratching their heads.
Bradley asked Alexander Armstrong: “What name is given to a pointed hand tool used for making holes in the ground for seeds or young plants?”
The options provided were: A, Dibble B: Nibble C: Quibble
Alexander chose dibble, which Bradley confirmed as correct.
The team celebrated, but viewers at home spotted something wrong with the answer.
According to gardening enthusiasts, the proper term is “dibber”, not “dibble”.
Fans took to social media to protest the decision, with one saying: “It’s actually called a dibber, not a dibble.”
Another agreed: “It’s dibber not dibble.”
A third added: “That’s what I thought as well.”
Gardener’s World describes a dibber as “an ideal tool for gardening”.
The tool is a long pointed stick which allows a gardener to poke holes in the soil ahead of planting seeds.
