A lucky Georgie spun her way to a jackpot win on the latest episode of Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel on Saturday night.

Grace from Newcastle thought her game was over after being knocked off the wheel when she and fellow Geordies Chris and Rosie Ramsey answered a question on who was monarch during the Second World War incorrectly on Saturday's (November 23) episode.

But Grace soon returned to the wheel being spun in again from the contestant wheel, only to be shutdown again and think her dreams of winning were scuppered.

But when fellow competitors Sally from Glasgow and Dean from Cardiff incorrectly answered the ‘cash out question’ Grace got a final chance to win £19,500.

With the help of Clare Balding she answered her final question correctly, taking home the prize.

The 30-year-old financial crime analyst planned to use the money to travel to Hong Kong to visit her grandma and get herself on the property ladder.

“Thank you all so much. All of you helped me so much,” she told the celebrities who helped her to win.

“I had no idea I would be leaving the house and winning that amount of money, going back up to Newcastle which is the best place on Earth by the way.

“I’m going to pout some money towards a deposit for a house, give some to my family and travel over to Hong Kong to see my Grandma. It means the world to me. It’s been quite hare with the distance but it will be amazing to go and see her.”

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel airs on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer.
