Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston brought the Friday feeling to one very lucky Heart Radio listener by giving them £1 million.
Key worker Tommy Norton received the news while sat parked at the side of the road in his van.
He said the prize money was going to make a “massive” amount of difference to his life and in disbelief, asked Holden and Theakston: “Is this real?”
After he won, he tried to ring his girlfriend, who is a hospital worker.
The prize money, which was awarded on Heart Breakfast, is the largest sum that has ever been given away on UK radio, according to the station.
Holden wore a dress which appeared to made from £50 notes as she revealed the winner.
She appeared as shocked as Norton as she awarded him the prize, saying: “I can’t believe it… this is absolutely real.”
