Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel viewers in tears as deserving medical student wins huge jackpot

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel sparked utter commotion on social media after Saturday night’s emotional episode.

Teddy, a medical student, left fans of the brand-new quiz show sobbing after she walked away with a massive cash prize.

The thrilling BBC One show sees celebrities help out contestants with general knowledge questions in a bid to win some cash.

And the latest selection of celebrity "experts" included the likes of Myleene Klass and Joe Sugg – just to name a few.

As soon as contestant Teddy appeared on screen in the latest episode, viewers fell instantly in love with the hard-working student.

Opening up about working on the frontline since the UK went into its first lockdown last March, Teddy admitted that it’s been an incredibly tough year for her.

Luckily for Teddy, she managed to make it to the very end and ended up walking away with a whopping £31,000 pounds.

She immediately burst into tears, and the audience, as well as the celebrity experts soon erupted into applause for the deserving winner.
