A contestant on BBC’s The Wheel just won a staggering jackpot, leaving fans in shock.

Michael McIntyre returned on Saturday night with his range of celebrity experts to help out as well as all new constestants.

The hit BBC programme sees members of the public answering quiz questions split into specific categories in order to win cash prizes.

McIntyre was joined by Danni and Danny Dyer, Oti Mabuse, Ed Gamble, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Jordan North, Big Narstie, and Maisie Adams.

Sophie, Martin and Nyarai competed for a chance to win the show’s enormous jackpot.

Nyarai had the nail-biting chance to tackle the final question for a chance to take home £100,000.

Incredibly, she answered the question correctly, calling out to her husband and emotionally explaining the pair were childhood sweethearts as they hugged and celebrated, touching viewers hearts.

One viewer, @superTV247 wrote on X: ‘Absolutely screaming at this woman on #TheWheel who just bagged £100,000 for answering like 3 questions??? That’s more than the winner of Big Brother got for 6 weeks of trauma.’

@claireoceans was moved by the sweet moment when Nyarai hugged her husband, writing: ‘THE HUBBY COMING OUT AND THE SHEER HAPPINESS I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS 😭🥹♥️ #TheWheel’

@2001joe_mendy posted: ‘WOW WOW WOW!!!! Nyarai has DONE IT!!!! She has just won £100k, making her the show’s biggest ever winner!!! #TheWheel’

@jesshoskingx agreed: ‘OMG that was the best thing ever watching Jordan North helping Nyarai win £100,000! Her reaction 🥹 #TheWheel’

@Milly1978 agreed: ;Absolutely bloody wonderful❤️ The noise we just made in here was something else. Love this for them❤️🙏🏾 #TheWheel’

This season of the show has seen a major change in gameplay.

Previously, contestants still had the chance of moving back up to play again even if they got their answers wrong in the final stage, but this time they’re eliminated from the show for good.

Clearly the change didn’t impede Nyirah who is now a staggering £100,000 richer.
