Dion was playing for the Dianne Oxberry Trust, set up after the BBC weather presenter died on 10 January 2019 shortly after being diagnosed with the disease, leaving her husband and young children behind, and the Pet Blood Bank.
But Dion was left gutted after failing to set his safety net on £32,000 before crashing out despite using two lifelines.

Jeremy had asked Dion: "Which of these events did nt occur in the 1990s?"
Dion, who instantly mused he believed it could be John Major becoming Prime Minister, took a 50/50.
‌
When he was left with John Major on the board alongside the Eden Project opening, he opted to phone his accountant, who confidently said it was John Major.
"I'll go with Marco because he knows his stuff," Dion told Jeremy.
He looked downcast as the host told him he would be walking away with just £1,000, or £500 each for his charities.

Jeremy quipped: "You need a new accountant."
This year's Trooping the Colour was markedly different to last year's, where there was feverish interest in the Princess of Wales's return to the royal spotlight following her cancer diagnosis.
