"All of a sudden, confetti was falling from the ceiling and I was saying, ‘You’ve just won one million pounds’.
“I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to utter those immortal words. It was a little emotional — but, boy, did it feel good.”
The winner’s identity is being kept secret until the new series is broadcast, starting next month.
