ITV Win Win to give away biggest prize in British TV history - and it could be yours

One lucky winner is to clinch the biggest prize in British quiz-show history on Saturday night - courtesy of Mel and Sue’s big new ITV show Win Win.

The many rewards, built up over the weeks as players traded their prizes for a chance to be in the final, comprise £1million in cash plus two cars, two luxury holidays, a new kitchen, a trip to Australia to see The Ashes, a trip to Monaco to watch Formula E, Take That tickets with a meet and greet and a tech bundle comprising 16 items including a MacBook Air, smart TV and Sony Playstation 5.

And the winner of the grand final, which has not yet been filmed, could be a contestant who started off by playing along at home then went on to land themselves a spot in the studio.

This weekend’s final will see one person take away the whole lot. Over the weeks, contestants have been trading the prizes they have won for a place on the final’s Millionaire’s Row, which is how the extra prizes have been added to the £1m jackpot.

And every time a player in the studio got offered the chance to trade, one viewer at home also won a spot on Millionaire's Row.

A total of 19 people have made it to the final - either by trading a prize in studio, or by winning the spot from home - and on Saturday they will go head-to-head in a bid to win it all.

Presenter Sue Perkins told the Mirror : "Saturday's show really is going to be a night like no other. The prizes are phenomenal - Ashes tickets, holidays, cars, a brand-new kitchen, and a cuddly toy. No, there's no cuddly toy, but there is ONE MILLION POUNDS.”

She added: “The thrilling thing, of course, is that all of this is going to be won by one person, and that person might even be a viewer turned contestant, who simply signed up, joined in from their sofa and got the surprise of their life.”

Co-host Mel Geidroyc agreed: "Imagine winning £1m and then someone saying, 'Oh, don't forget you've also won a holiday, a car, tickets to the Ashes, Take That tickets...' and on and on it goes. The fact it could be a viewer-turned-contestant adds another incredible layer of drama. It's the finale to end all finales."

The collective prize pot amounts to around £1.5million, putting it on a par with the prize won on Ant and Dec’s former gameshow Red or Black? in 2012.

One insider said: “The beauty of Win Win is that you don’t have to be a contender for Mastermind to walk away with the prizes. The questions are ones that normal people can answer. It’s a quiz for all comers.”

The largest prize previously won on a UK TV show was when Graham Fletcher walked away with the jackpot after spinning a roulette wheel and correctly guessing it would land on black. But the gambling show Red or Black? came in for criticism for being based on luck rather than skill, and it was axed after two runs.

The multiple prizes being offered on Mel & Sue’s Win Win amount to far more than has been traditionally offered on Saturday night shows. On Bullseye, which had its heyday with host Jim Bowen in the 1980s, the top prizes were often a car, a caravan or a holiday with the smaller rewards likely to be a slow cooker, hi-fi stereo, exercise bike or portable cassette player.

Similarly, on the BBC ’s Generation Game during the same era, the biggest prizes could include a mink coat, luggage, a holiday or a car while the lesser items on the conveyor belt being fondue sets, kettles and toasters - along with the famous cuddly toy.
