Saturday Night Takeaway fans have branded one of the show’s guests an “absolute legend” thanks to her heartwarming reaction to a win.
The London mum, whose family voted for her to win the Mother’s Day giveaway, whipped off her wig in excitement as Declan Donnelly and Ant McPartlin offered her a holiday.
Thrilled with the win, she waved her wig around before placing it back on her head, with her daughters laughing by her side.
Dec struggled to continue reading the autocue, distracted by her uplifting reaction to the glitzy holiday overseas.
The Saturday Night Takeaway host said: “Your kids say you’re a mum to everyone and we think you deserve a takeaway getaway.”

“Over to you, Ant,” he added, before the camera panned to his co-star, who couldn’t stop himself from smiling over her reaction.
A hit with fans of the show, Ant and Dec invited the mum back later in the episode, asking her to decide whether another guest should “stay” or “play” in another giveaway.
This time, she wore a different wig, as Dec asked: “I didn’t recognise her there, has she done something different with her hair?”
Viewers watching from home thanked the guest for brightening up their evenings, delighted she had won the giveaway.

“That woman’s wig flying has made my night,” added a second.
And a third penned: “The lady who whipped her wig off on Ant & Dec is an absolute legend, actual tears right now.”
“The lovely lady on #saturdaynighttakeaway who lost her wig was fabulous & thoroughly deserved a getaway if she had not got one already,” added a fourth.

The feel-good moment even caught the attention of Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse, who took to Twitter to celebrate the moment.
She exclaimed: “So excited you pull your wig off!!! I HAVE BEEN THERE @itvtakeaway.”
The segment, known as the “happiest minute of the week,” sees Ant and Dec award prizes to audience members who are heroes in their everyday lives.
Known as “Happiest Minute Heroes,” viewers can vote for their own loved ones on the ITV website, submitting a TikTok to explain why they deserve to win.
Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway airs on Saturdays at 7pm on ITV.
