A MUoeF-TWO who won £16,000 on TV's Who Wants to be a Millionaire? has already decided on how to start spending the cash - on a family skiing holiday.
Finance manager Sue Isherwood, 44, of Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, won the money after guessing correctly that Wookey Hole was in Somerset.
But she was stumped on the £32,000 question when she was asked who Roy Rogers married in 1947 (answer: Dale Evans).
Sue was urged to enter the show by 13-year-old daughter Robyn and after correctly answered a telephone question she was picked at random by computer and contacted by a researcher who asked her a further question.
She said: "They rang back to invite me on the show and I had to be in London within two days.
"I was extremely nervous, but Chris Tarrant put me at my ease. He is a fantastic guy, offstage, as well as on."
Sue qualified for the hotseat after putting the words Grand Old Duke of York in order.
"When Chris Tarrant called my name, my legs just went. My brain was like mush. It's one thing shouting the answers at the television screen, but quite another being in the middle of the studio in front of an audience and millions of viewers."
Sue had already used her phone a friend and ask the audience lifelines to get to the £16,000 Wookey Hole question, so she used 50/50 and was left with Gloucester or Somerset.
"It was absolutely nerve-racking, but I just went with my gut feeling and got the right answer. The next question asked who Roy Rogers married. I knew he had a horse called Trigger, but that's about it, so I decided to come home with the cash."
Sue, who works at Abbey Telecom in Blackburn, said: "I had a great stay in London and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The money will come in handy and we are now looking forward to going skiing in the winter."
