In a heart-warming segment that left presenter Andi Peters fighting back tears, Friday's episode of Good Morning Britain featured a competition winner's overwhelmingly emotional reaction to a life-changing prize.
A Life-Changing Phone Call
Peters, 55, who regularly announces competitions on both GMB and Lorraine, was in the ITV studio to deliver the incredible news. After several attempts to reach the winner, Andrea from Bangor finally answered the phone. Peters, confirming her identity and that she was the bill-payer, then delivered the stunning announcement: "You have just won... brace yourself... 35 individual prizes, two cars and £120,000." The total value of the haul exceeded £245,000.
An Overwhelming and Emotional Response
Andrea's immediate reaction was one of utter disbelief and joy. She burst into tears, repeatedly exclaiming "Oh my goodness" and asking if the news was true. Assured by Peters that it was definitely real, the overwhelmed winner expressed her profound gratitude. When Peters asked if the money would make a difference, Andrea's emotional state confirmed it would be "a massive difference."
The presenter, visibly affected by the raw emotion, had to look away from the camera, telling the crew, "Oh she's going to make me upset." After wishing Andrea the best Christmas ever and ending the call, Peters' voice broke as he reflected on the moment. "Oh my goodness. I love this bit of the job. I genuinely do," he said, before confirming the team would be in touch with the winner shortly.
A Special Moment for Morning Television
As the camera returned to main hosts Charlotte Hawkins, 50, and Adil Ray, 51, Hawkins summed up the feeling in the studio, calling it "such a special moment." The segment showcased the unpredictable human element of live television, where a routine competition reveal transformed into a genuinely moving event.
Andi Peters, a veteran presenter who began his career in children's television and joined ITV in 2014, is no stranger to delivering good news, but Friday's reaction clearly struck a deep chord. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
