Kieran Rutherford, from Stewarton, Ayrshire, brought plenty of charm as he took on the challenge in an episode aired on Wednesday, October 8.
The 26-year-old had the audience laughing from the word go as he stood up to take on his 'cash builder' round.
Before taking questions from host Bradley Walsh, he recalled a quirky tale from his time working on bus routes through the county.
"I was like 'is that thing real?' See if it was real, I would have just let him on with it.
"I told my supervisor the next day and he was like 'yeah - the guy with the seagull'.
"He has multiple seagulls that he actually comes on the bus [with]. It wasn't real - it was a stuffed seagull."
Kieran, who earned £2,000 to take to the table, also shared unique plans for any winnings he may earn.
He stated any winnings would be spent trying to bring Vitas - a former "Latvian pop sensation" - over to Scotland for a private gig.
The Stewarton man then gave chaser Shaun 'the dark destroyer' Wallace a proper Ayrshire welcome to the table - saying "awrite Shaun".

Kieran then boldly took the high offer of £32,000 before taking on the quizmaster, stating he was "going big or I'm going home".
A tense battle followed in the multi-choice portion, including a hilarious quip when Kieran got the better of his adversary.
When 'the dark destroyer' answer "the tarsus gives structure and shape to what part of the body?" incorrectly, he selected the answer as knee.
Kieran, who correctly picked eyelid, told Shaun that "he knee-ds to be revising".

Though, unfortunately, the comment would comeback to haunt him as the bus driver was caught following a tense eight-question battle. His fellow teammates would also face the same fate.
Though the group were still able to take on 'the final chase', with one player nominated to represent the group in a bid to earn £4,000.
Unfortunately, their 14 steps would not be enough and Shaun 'caught' the quartet with 26 seconds still on the clock.
Though Kieran can at least come away knowing Bradley Walsh though "he was great" and 'the dark destroyer' called him a "good lad".
