The TV star, who appeared on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother, was left completely stumped by one question.
Host Romesh said to her: “Donna, look at your screen. This is a view from an observation deck in which skyscraper?”
Donna looked at the screen but clearly had no idea what she was looking at.
She then answered: “Right. I’d say a big one.”

Without missing a beat Romesh gave her the answer, which was “Burj Khalifa.”
Burj Khalifa is a world famous skyscraper in Dubai that is known for its incredible views.
Donna isn’t alone when it comes to being stumped on a Weakest Link question – as Corrie star Helen Flanagan found herself in a similar situation on the same episode.
The soap actress was asked by Romesh to identify which month matched the surname of a legendary Top Gear presenter.
She was shown an image of James May, whose surname is of course the correct answer, but Helen took her time to figure out who the huge star was, leaving some of the other contestants baffled.
As the image was shown, Romesh asked Helen: “Look at your screen, this TV presenter shares his surname with which month of the year?”
The Corrie star took a long pause as she contemplated her answer to the question, leaving other guest stars baffled.
After a pause of over 20 seconds, the star finally landed at the answer, May.
Romesh confirmed the answer was correct, with a squealing Helen emphatically saying “YES” in celebration.
The awkward moment left Konan in stitches as he was the next star to be asked a question.
Former Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh, who does the voiceover for the show, said: “Helen took so long to get the month question that I had enough time to make a cup of tea and go to the shop for biscuits – but she did get it right in the end.”
She eventually expressed her shock after receiving the most number of votes, following her blunder.
Helen said: “Wow – that is so bad, I am so shocked. I got the main question right.”
