A construction worker from Sheringham was left in disbelief after winning £50,000 and a new car in a competition.
Tom Denny was at home waiting for a plumber to fix his boiler when he was shocked to receive a visit from BOTB presenter Christian Williams.
The 28-year-old was then told he was the winner of this week's dream car competition and now the owner of a Ford Ranger Raptor worth £60,960.
“I’ve played the competition long enough and knew when I saw Christian but I just never expected it would be me," Mr Denny said.
“The vehicle is something else and I can't believe I stood there with Christian looking at it.
“We live down a track which my car struggles to get down, so having a big utility vehicle will make things a lot easier.”
The surprise did not stop there though with Mr Williams revealing that there was a further £50,000 cash prize hidden in the back of the car.
“Next year, me and my wife celebrate being together for 10 years, so we've been looking at holidays to celebrate that, we’re a big fan of Italy,” Mr Denny said.
“We’re also currently living with my mum and dad, so the cash will go a long way towards putting a mortgage down on our own house."

The competition firm BOTB was founded by William Hindmarch in 1999 and each week it dishes out a lifestyle prize as well as the keys to a dream car
Mr Williams added: “It’s a life-changing prize and we couldn’t be happier for Tom.
“By the look on his face, I think I was the last person he expected to see when he opened the door.”
