It didn't feel like a real phone call, it felt like I was in a dream.The retired cook told host Garry Spence how she's had to give up working due to having 'terrible' arthritis in her legs from standing in kitchens all her life and has described the win as 'life-changing'.
To which she told him: "Listen, I've got four daughters, I've got nine grandchildren, just a brand new baby granddaughter - wee Jade, she was just born last week. And I've got two great-grandchildren. I've got a big, big family so I have."
