Emma sweeps the board with Ant and Dec.
Ant and Dec may have lost the ratings battle on Saturday, but Emma Smith was the biggest winner of the night.Emma, from Sunderland, walked away with a host of prizes after taking a gamble on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
Emma was picked out of the audience for the live show to take part in Grab the Ads ( a competition that gives people the chance to win prizes featured on the week's adverts.
After answering six questions correctly, Emma chose to gamble the prizes she had already won for the chance to win all 20 prizes up for grabs.
But in order to win, she had to answer one final question ( in which year was Ant and Dec's rival show Doctor Who first broadcast on television?
Ant and Dec told Emma the answer was either 1963 or 1964 and gave her 10 seconds to give her final answer as the studio audience waited with bated breath.
The crowd erupted as Emma correctly answered that Doctor Who was first shown in 1963 to win all of the prizes on offer.
Among the prizes she won were a pounds 12,000 car, a pounds 8,000 car, pounds 1,000 cash and holidays to Japan and Athens.
Earlier in the show the Geordie duo had sung with G4 in a Pop Idol-style competition presented by Sir Trevor McDonald and judged by Jonathan Ross, Kim Wilde, Robin Gibb and Simon Cowell.
England football star David Beckham also appeared on the show being interviewed by Little Ant and Dec and as The Journal revealed earlier in the week was tricked into "signing" for Newcastle United.
