Describing Andy as her ‘bonus dad,’ Josie revealed Andy has been married to her mum for 11 years – and when Wright asked Andy what his job was, he gave the surprised host one of his trademark ‘Strawberries, three for a pound!’ cries to the audience’s delight.

The quiz sees contestants having to match three correct answers on a variety of topics in return for a ‘moneyball.’

The ball is then loaded into a machine and set loose in pinball machine style, with contestants winning money depending on which section the ball lands in.

Their first ball won £5,000, their second scooped another £1,000 while the third landed the pair £20,000.

Another £20,000 ball and then a £40,000 ball on the last roll secured them the jackpot prize.
