The duo also said they hoped to put some of the cash towards a hot tub at Charlie's adult care centre in Nettleham.

After securing the money, quiz master Richard Osman told the team: "Mother and son partnerships don't often do that well, but since the first time you came on, you have been terrific all the way through."

The show asks contestants to provide answers they believe are least likely to have been selected by a group of a hundred others, who are surveyed before the programme.
