Casualty star Amanda Henderson left Celebrity Mastermind viewers in tears of laughter when she wrongly thought Greta Thunberg was named ‘Sharon’.

But the perplexed actress, who stars as nurse Robyn Miller on the BBC soap, had the audience howling as she answered, ‘Sharon?.’  

The 33-year-old was asked by quiz show host John Humphries the name of the Swedish climate change activist who penned the book, ‘No-one is Too Small To Make A Difference.’ The answer: Greta Thunberg, pictured 

Henderson appeared alongside actor Paul Chuckle, TV chef Levi Roots and comedian Geoff Norcott on the celebrity edition of the show. 

She excelled at her specialist subject, songs from animated Disney films from 1989-1999, but faltered in the general knowledge round.  

John Humphries asked: ‘The 2019 book entitled No-one is Too Small To Make A Difference is a collection of speeches made by a Swedish climate change activist. What’s her name?’ 

She answered simply, ‘Sharon.’ 

The episode was initially set to air on 28 December but aired on BBC One on 2 January.

The video has since been shared across social media hundreds of thousands of times. 

Comedian Mark Smith tweeted the clip with the caption: ‘2020 is cancelled’, and it has gone on to get 9,000 retweets and over 45,000 likes. 

Student Jamie Kennedy tweeted: ‘Celebrity Mastermind just now a question was asked about a Swedish girl who became a climate change activist asking what her name was. Amanda Henderson’s reply: “Sharon?” I AM SCREAMING’
