This Morning competition winner with leukaemia left in tears over show’s gesture

Aw Beth!

A This Morning competition winner was left weeping with joy after the show offered to fix her heating.

Cancer patient Beth, from Warwickshire, won £1,000 in Dosh on Your Doorstep.

She had planned to spend it getting her boiler fixed, but ITV chiefs had other plans.

What happened in the This Morning competition?

In the This Morning competition ‘Dosh on Your Doorstep’ presenters travel up and down the country delivering £1,000 to deserving winners.

Today’s winner Beth explained that chemotherapy leaves her feeling cold all the time.

We want you to enjoy yourself with that money

She said the money she’d won would mean she could finally fix her broken boiler.

But she was in for a lovely surprise.

After winning the £1,000 by answering questions and an activity, Josie Gibson congratulated Beth and told her that her heating would be sorted.

Parked on the road was a British Gas van with a boiler engineer at the wheel.

Josie told Beth: “Our bosses all sat around a table and we thought ‘we cannot let you spend that money on your heating’.
