Tipping Point contestant breaks down in tears after big win

He threw his hands in the air and covered his mouth as he realised he was quids in.
“That’s unbelievable, oh thank you so much, Ben,” he told host Ben Shephard as he started to get choked up.
Grant then said the win felt “wonderful” and that he was “speechless” before starting to cry.
“Oh my goodness to even be here is a dream but this just goes beyond anything…what a wonderful day thank you so much. Absolutely fantastic. I actually feel very emotional, thank you.”
“10,000 is a huge sum of money, what sort of a difference is it going to make for you?
Grant replied that he would be “looking around car showrooms” and using the money towards a new motor.
Ben himself tweeted about the moment as it aired on TV.
He posted: “Ahh Grant! What an amazing game. Just six counters (via just a touch of panic) between you and that brilliant #TippingPoint jackpot win – so thrilled for you and your wife and we absolutely loved having you.”
Another viewer added: “Aww Grant is adorable! Well done.”
“Tissues for Grant, please!”said a third.
