A REDDITCH housewife and mother-of-two has won nearly £50,000 on a television game show.
Alanagh Adams appeared on the daytime show Win My Wage, hosted by Nick Hancock.
The rules of the game meant she had to try to determine which of eight mystery guests made the most money in order to take home their annual salary.
Although she was given some facts about the guests, she was working very much on her own intuition.
Alanagh said: "I thought I stood a good chance of doing well but when Nick asked me to eliminate someone at the end of the first round I picked the guy who had the highest wage on the board."
This meant Alanagh lost her chance of winning £60,000 straight away.
The lucky housewife managed to redeem herself however, and progressed through to the final round of the game where she made the right choice and won £46,500.
She was surprised by how much the pressure of the competition affected her, saying: "I couldn't quite believe it. We all sit at home shouting at the telly but until you are sat there yourself, you'll never realise just how hard these games really are."
Alanagh plans to use her winnings for a trip to Melbourne to visit her daughter.
