The Wheel returned to our TV screens on Saturday night and viewers of the game show were left delighted when blind contestant Toby scooped the winning prize.
The university student and content creator bagged a whopping £45,000 after answering a question about art. Throughout the show, Toby won the hearts of viewers as he made playful jokes, and told Michael McIntyre he was 96% blind.
He made it to the last round of the game when a nail-biting question was given by host Michael: "Which of these artists has won the Turner Prize in the 21st century?" The options were Grayson Perry, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and Anish Kapoor. You can get more showbiz news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.

Toby turned to DJ Sara Cox for help, who sat alongside Jonathan Ross, Vick Hope, Gareth Thomas, Victoria Derbyshire, Tom Allen and Chunkz, to offer their specialist knowledge to the contestants.
Toby joked: "It is all on you this one. I have no idea. Blind people don't like art." Thankfully, Sara Cox was able to provide Toby with the right answer, and he was lost for words when he won the cash prize.
He hugged the DJ and vowed to listen to her BBC Radio 2 show every day. Michael said: "I can't believe you have come on this wheel, you are a blind man, you have been given a question on art to win the show, you have hilariously pointed out, during the question, not a big fan of art, never actually seen it!"
Toby jokingly replied: "I tell you what, love art now! It's my favourite. I've never watched anything, mate, so it's all good!"
Fans were thrilled to see Toby win. Sara Cox said on Twitter after the show aired: "Thanks for all your lovely messages about the amazing Toby on The Wheel. Honestly, my heart was absolutely thumping in my ears. I didn't come down for the rest of the day. Just didn't want to let Toby down. Or lose a listener."
Ariadne Griffin said: "Toby is my new favourite person," while Gareth said: "The nicest and most adorable contestant I have ever witnessed on TV. What a legend. Toby you are just outstanding and mind blowing."
Yasmin Myles said: "I just about had it together when Toby won the money but when Michael guided him over to hug Sara Cox, that was it, gone, sobbing mess... what a lovely man."
