For its 12th instalment, the quiz had a ‘Never Gonna Let You Down!’ theme – and, right on cue, the PWL icon was on hand to provide some between-rounds entertainment.

After praising host Jay for taking the time to host the entertainment and bring people together, the star took to his keyboard and guitar for stripped back versions of his hits Cry For Him and Never Gonna Give You Up.

“I had the honour of performing on #JaysVirtualPubQuiz last night which is supporting the Anti Bullying Campaign of The Diana Award,” Rick tweeted.
