A Rickmansworth nail technician was stunned to find out she had won a £59,000 Porsche Macan GTS.
Michelle Taylor had been enjoying a holiday with friends and family in Crete when she received a video call from BOTB presenter Christian Williams.
He revealed the 44-year-old was the new owner of the luxury SUV in BOTB's Supercar Competition and gave her a virtual tour of the vehicle.
“No way. Is that for real?” she said, in the video shared by BOTB. “You’re joking me.”
When Christian asked Michelle whether she would take the Porsche or the cash alternative, her answer was immediate.
“Who doesn’t need a Porsche Macan and I might get divorced if I don’t take the car,” she joked, having been joined on the call by her husband, a keen Porsche fan.
Speaking a few days after her big win, Michelle said she was still coming to terms with the news.
She said: “It’s all still such a shock. I keep saying to my husband, ‘Have I really won a car?’
“It was my birthday recently as well, so what a birthday present to get. Best one yet!”

Christian said: “Surprising Michelle while she was on holiday in Crete was definitely a first for me. I don’t think she expected her holiday to include a video call telling her she’d won a £59,000 Porsche and it’s a pretty memorable way to find out you’ve won.
“You could see the disbelief straight away. She kept asking if it was really happening, which made the reveal even more enjoyable.
“I think her husband was almost as excited as Michelle when he saw the car.”
