Limitless Win viewers were left with tears in their eyes after an emotional success from a father-son duo.
Mark, 40, and his dad Dave, 67, were the second pair on Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s ITV gameshow tonight, and made a quarter of a million pounds.
And they had big plans for their cash prize, with retired policeman Dave revealing he wanted to spend it on his wife, after she’d taken care of him during a difficult period.
Dave shared: ‘My voice as you can tell is slightly hoarse, I had cancer on my vocal chords last year.’
‘I’m visually impaired but it doesn’t stop me enjoying life, travelling, doing fun things,’ business owner Mark continued in the intro.
Speaking to Ant and Dec, Mark shared that they came on the programme for ‘a sense of adventure’, because ‘it’s not something a lot of people get to do.’
‘The thought of what it could do for us as a family is fantastic,’ Dave added.

They went on to win a seriously impressive amount, but some of it was thanks to Ant and Dec.
After a Limitless Win first by answering the first three questions exactly right, the pair banked £30,000, and went on to add a further £70,000 to their pot.
But while they were certain on questions on Rick Astley, musical chairs and the Premier League, it was Kit Kats that left them pondering.
Ant and Dec were called in to guess how long the chocolate fingers would stand at, and scored an exact answer of 18cm, taking the players past the £250,000 mark.

‘I didn’t dream we’d get this far,’ Mark said, being one step closer to moving to his dream location of Brighton.
As the pair cashed out after a few more questions, they were left visibly emotional, realising how much money they’d be taking home.
‘My face says it all, I’m too emotional,’ Dave said, while Mark added that he was ‘a mess’.
‘That was an incredible ride, time has just stood still.’

Viewers were equally as emotional, sharing their congratulatory messages on social media.
‘Shed a tear for that father and son duo on #limitlesswin. So pleased for them @antanddec,’ viewer Kathryn Hiscoke wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘That was wholesome,’ Rich wrote, while Karl said: ‘Awe well done lads, absolutely life changing amount, they both deserve it.’
‘Aww bless them! I’m so happy, I’ve absolutely loved David and Mark!’ Steffi penned.
‘That was incredible so lovely to see a nice sun of money won by great people! 250k! Enjoy it lads so well deserved,’ Mitchell added.
Halfway through the game, Dave revealed his plans for the prize money, saying he wanted to give his wife a gift as a ‘thank you’.
‘She deserves it, she deserves to have some treatment, and lifechanging money like that gives us the opportunity to do that,’ he said.
After winning their £250,000, Dave was seen ringing his wife, handing over the phone to Mark.
Tearing up, he told her: ‘We just won £250,000!’
She was heard screaming ‘What?!’ down the phone, adding: ‘Oh my clever boys!’
‘You heard it right!’ Dave told her.
Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win airs Saturdays at 8.30pm on ITV1.
