Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win fans in tears as father-son duo win massive cash prize
FANS of Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win game show were left in floods of tears as a father and son duo won a huge cash prize that meant the world to them.
Mark, 40, and his 67-year-old dad David, raced against the clock to make it up the ladder by giving the right answers to trivia questions.
Contestants are allowed the opportunity to leave after each correct answer with the amount of money they earned, as long as they are not midway through answering a new question.
Viewers were rooting for the pair as Mark and David both have health issues and really wanted the cash to give them a better chance at a quality life.
Once they made it 12 steps up the ladder to the rung that granted them £250,000, the family members decided to walk away with their earnings.
Both men broke down as they shared how life-changing that huge sum was for them.
David told audience members that he had throat cancer just a year ago and was still recovering from the treatment.
He was left speechless by the win, telling Ant and Dec: “I think my face says it all, I’m just too emotional, I’m sorry.”
Mark shared that he is visually impaired and wants to use his share of the dosh to help him travel with his wife.
In an interview shown before the show started, he told producers his dream has been to move to Brighton with her and then hit the road in a car or campervan.
While crying and hugging his dad, he added: “I’m a mess, I’m an absolute mess.”
Mark phoned his mum live on air to let her know the exciting news.
She was totally shocked to hear they were walking away from the game show with £250k, exclaiming: “What? What? No! Oh my clever boys!”
Limitless Win viewers were touched by the duo’s success, and took to social media to share how moved they felt.
One person gushed: “Shed a tear for that father and son duo on #limitlesswin. So pleased for them.”
Another agreed: “Limitless win makes us cry, stop it … well done Mark & David.”
A third chimed in: “That was incredible so lovely to see a nice sun of money won by great people! 250k! Enjoy it lads so well deserved.”
