Alison said: "Well Heather there's a really important reason why you want this money today, what is that reason?"

Heather said: "Well I got diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, I then got the all clear just before my 40th birthday and thought things were getting back to normal and then I got told I had brain mets.

"So now I'm getting myself organised, I've been told I've got three months to live and now I'm going to have a 'wake me up before I go go party.'

"So it's sort of a party before my passing."

Alison asked: "How do you continue to be upbeat for your sons and your husband?"

Heather replied: "Because there is no point moping, it is what it is, if I mope it won't help my family, my husband or my children.

"So I am in auto-mode at the moment."

Alison then did the quiz with Heather and she won £1,000, during which Heather admitted she was a big fan of Craig David.

And afterwards, Craig himself appeared on video to wish Heather a happy birthday and sing to her, with Heather overjoyed.

Then Phil and Holly told Heather that they were adding a bonus £1,000 to Heather's fund.

And viewers were left in tears and feeling very emotional after hearing Heather's story.

Kerryn Groves said: "Dosh on your doorstep was so emotional this morning. Hoping Heather & her family and friends have the best party! What an incredibly brave woman she is. Sending her tons of love."
