A TELEVISION appearance tomorrow could change Chris Nicholson's life forever - for he has the chance to win £1million.

Chris, 21, of P and A Eagle Newsagents, Nuttall Street, Accrington, which is run by his mother Anne Eagle, 52 and his stepfather Peter Eagle, 53, will appear on TFI and could be three questions away from £1 million.

Chris, who makes false teeth at Qualident Dental Laboratory, Preston New Road, Blackburn, has already planned how he will spend the cash.

He said: "I have mentally spent it already. I am going to buy a nice big house, maybe a Ferrari and splash out on some flash car for my brother Lyndon.

"I will also spend about £50,000 on a holiday for most people I know - I would just go mental."

Chris got the chance to play for £1million after ringing the show, which is hosted by Virgin boss and DJ Chris Evans, and leaving his name and number.

When he appears tomorrow he will have to choose a category and correctly answer three out of five questions.

If he is successful he will get a cheque for £5,000 but has the chance of shredding that and putting his name forward to enter a draw on Christmas Eve where he will have at least a one in nine chance of scooping the jackpot.

He said: "I am definitely going for the million.

"At the end of the day I am not bothered if I come away with nothing because I will have had a brilliant day and drunk loads of free beer which they give you."

The television show will put up Chris and his brother Lyndon, 26, at a London hotel after they travel down today by train.

Ginger Media, which produces the show has also given show tickets to two of Chris's friends - Simon Gatens and Lee Webster. - who drink as much free beer as they want.
