Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway show certainly went down a treat with a Chelmsford mum when she won prizes galore.
Thirty-nine year old Janice Pierce, who lives in Great Baddow, walked away with goodies including two new cars, a Hollywood holiday, a round the world cruise, and a home cinema system.
Janice couldn't believe her luck when she was selected to the hit ITV game show audience and then randomly selected to play 'win the ads'.
The game involves a member of the studio audience answering a series of general knowledge questions, in a bid to pocket a selection of prizes.
Janice had won four unknown treasures before she gambled the lot to win the jackpot.
Watching mother-of-two Janice make her TV debut was friend Sue Palmer, who joined the winner on stage as they celebrated the win.
Said Janice: "I decided I was going to gamble before I even started and if I hadn't won anything I still would have been happy.
"My children feel like they are superstars because their mum has been on television."
Said Sue, who lives in Springfield: "When I saw Jan's face up on the screen I started screaming and cheering. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person."
