00:03 I had a couple of calls with Joe on Friday.

00:19 My daughter's first reaction was it was probably a toaster.

00:21 Thankfully, it's a three million pound house.

00:24 To celebrate, we went and had a pint and then off to a curry.

00:28 A normal Friday night, except for the fact

00:30 we won a three million pound house.

00:32 We absolutely love the house.

00:34 It's gorgeous.

00:35 And although it's big, it still feels homely.

00:39 The entrance hall is just massive,

00:40 with the open plan kitchen and the living space.

00:43 It's just absolutely to die for.

00:45 The tennis courts, we might have to take up tennis.

00:48 The children have asked if they can quit their Saturday jobs,

00:51 and they've been told no.

00:53 If they want a Saturday job, there's

00:54 plenty to do in the garden.

00:56 I have a big family all over the world.

00:58 I'm sure they'd all love to come and stay.

01:00 That's if I tell them where their address is.

01:02 Just to win the house is a dream come true.

01:04 It secures our future.

01:05 It helps secure our children's future as well.

01:08 It's just phenomenal.

01:10 Cocker Spaniel's going to love that garden.

01:12 I have to put a bell on him.

01:14 We've been subscribing for a little while now,

01:16 and it's always good to be able to help out

01:18 different charities, especially this month being the RSPCA,

01:21 as we're pet lovers.

01:27 Wow.

01:28 I'm absolutely gobsmacked.

01:29 Raising 3.5 million pounds has completely

01:32 surpassed our expectations.

01:34 The incredible amount of money raised by this partnership

01:36 with Omaze will enable the RSPCA to continue

01:39 carrying out its vital work and ensure our rescue officers can

01:43 keep helping animals in desperate need of care.

01:45 This 3 and 1/2 million pounds will

01:47 keep 50 inspectors and animal rescue officers

01:51 on the road for a whole year.

01:53 So thank you, everyone.

01:55 The partnership with Omaze not only

01:57 raised an unbelievable amount of money,

01:59 but also creates huge awareness for the important work

02:02 that we do.

02:04 We're absolutely thrilled the Somerset House draw

02:07 has achieved our biggest ever raise,

02:09 with an incredible 3 and 1/2 million pounds for the RSPCA.

02:14 This means the Omaze community has now

02:16 raised over 28 and 1/2 million pounds

02:20 for good causes across the UK.

02:25 To go from a rented house in the outskirts of Luton

02:29 to this six-bedroom house in the countryside, it's mind-blowing.
