There are some people who celebrate victory with a quiet smile, and a nod of satisfaction.

Not Fiona from York.

She celebrated with wild abandon after winning all the prizes on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV1 last night.

Fiona was playing the Win The Ads game, remotely from her York home. She was with husband Tony, her daughters Venus and Sunny, and son Vinny.

During the quick-fire question and answer round she won five prizes.

But egged on by the online audience – and studio guest Romesh Ranganathan – she decided to gamble and go for the all-or-nothing question.

As soon as she heard it – how many Grammy awards has Beyoncé won – she realised she knew the right answer.

Ant and Dec confirmed she had won everything, including a new car and a holiday.

Having a great night!

In response, Fiona jumped up and down on her sofa, screamed, waved her Ant and Dec’s facemasks – and at one point look set to lift up her top!

“Don’t lift that top up!” urged Ant, as the show went out live on prime time.

If you missed it, you can watch the whole thing on the ITV hub.

Fiona’s friends were delighted for her. One said she was ‘surprised she didn’t’ lift up her top. Another said she was ‘still mad as a box of frogs!’

They said Fiona’s full name is Fiona Scholes, and she was a hairdresser who worked at York College, and was once a pupil at Huntington School.

“I recognised her straight away. So happy she won,” said another friend.
