Watch the moment Limitless Win players bag biggest win of series so far – leaving Ant and Dec gobsmacked
THIS is the moment Limitless Win players bagged the biggest win of series so far.
Ant and Dec were left absolutely gobsmacked when a duo from Bristol took home £250,000.
The ITV duo were left absolutely flabbergasted on their own show, Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win by the whopping amount that was won.
The fourth episode of the latest series of the hit gameshow saw filmmaker Dan and textile artist Sarah welcomed into the studio.
An answer to a question about the length of a cotton wool bud banked them a quarter of a million pounds when they used a lifeline.
The ‘Take Two’ option allowed the contestants to devise their own answer for a tough question and for Ant and Dec to suggest another.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly asked: “To the nearest centimetre, what is the length of a Johnson’s Baby Cotton Bud?”
The guess that was closest to the correct number without going over would count as the final answer.
Dan and Sarah decided to lock in their answer of five as Ant and Dec had just thirty seconds to produce theirs.
The I’m A Celebrity pair deliberated amongst themselves before they reached a decision of eight.
This turned out to be an exact answer, which banked the lucky couple £250,000.
After another tough question about the number of avenues that surround the Arc De Triomphe in Paris, the duo decided to cash out.
After taking away the huge jackpot prize pot, they are planning to buy their first home with their winnings.
The couple are also thinking of building a studio in their garden so that Sarah can expand her business.
Sarah explained: “We’ve always prioritised purpose-driven work and our family, so have never had much money.
“And, due to the social enterprise side of my business, we’ve never had much space and have been stuck renting.
