Mick appeared on the game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and had already won £500,000. For the £1 million question, he only had one lifeline left - to phone a friend. Mick called his friend Paddy in Dublin and asked him the question. Paddy confidently answered "cuckoo". Mick went with that answer and won £1 million, after which he took Paddy to the pub to thank him. However, Paddy admitted he had no real knowledge about birds and had just guessed "cuckoo" because he thought it lived in a clock.
