Shocked at his impressive win, the former soap star joked: “When I say £80,0000 really, it’s only £72,000 because I take 10 per cent.
“Me and the crew are gonna go out to the pub for a drink after this,” he added.
When the TV host asked what he planned to do with the money, he cheekily confessed he planned to travel to New Zealand to see family for a bit longer than he initially thought to.
