‘I’ve been playing the competition for years but I never dreamed I’d actually ever win my dream car.’

Christian Williams, from BOTB, delivered the good news.

‘I initially thought it was the postman delivering something when the doorbell went, but as soon as I saw Christian in his BOTB gilet through the peephole I was pinching myself,’ Daniel said.

‘I waited until the end of the day to tell the children in my class the amazing news, I didn’t want to get them over excited all day.’

‘I have one of the best jobs in the world, handing people the keys to their dream car,’ said Christian.

‘And to be able to give a an A* result to a teacher is the greatest feeling.’
