BOTB traditionally surprise the weekly winner by delivering their new wheels to their door, but with Amanda out of the country it was left to BOTB founder Will Hindmarch to break the news over FaceTime.

The car will also be supplied with a year's worth of fuel and insurance.

“I can’t quite believe it!” Amanda said as she found out stood next to her mum and dad in her hotel room. “My husband is out diving at the moment so I’ll have to surprise him too.

“I never expected to win first time. It really is a dream come true, I’m still pinching myself now.

“This holiday has been unbelievable but now I really can’t wait to come home.”

BOTB has run its trademark car competitions every week since 1999, and punters can win the car of their dreams for less than £1.gm
