A COUPLE from Chippenham will feature on the Saturday night prime time BBC1 game show Win Your Wish List on February 20.

Cina and Mike Minney, both in their 30s, took part in the National Lottery game show hosted by Shane Ritchie in which couples ask each other a series of questions in a bid to win their dream prizes.

Shop worker Cina said: “It was very scary, there was countdown music and the studio floor went bright red every time we answered a question incorrectly. I thought they just added that in afterwards but it actually happens at the time.

"It was very surreal having a live audience watching us for three hours but I think we grew into it as it went on. It was so nice to have our friends there for support.”

Contestants are allowed to pick whatever prizes they wish for, and Cina and Mike didn’t opt for usual ones.

Cina said: “Perhaps slightly regretfully, we asked for things we would never buy and things we don’t actually need – things we wouldn’t buy even if we became millionaires."

“Mike requested a Daft Punk robot helmet, it was genuinely the first thing that sprung to his mind.

“The major prize we chose was a year’s supply of festivals and a yurt to stay in when we’re at them.”

The couple applied to be on the show early in 2015 and were filmed towards the end of the year.

Mike, who works as a chef, said: “We’ve been on Pointless before about five years ago so we’re kind of used to being on TV but this was far more intense because the spotlight was solely on us.

Mr Minney added: “We didn't do too well on Pointless so we really wanted to make up for it on this show.”

Watch Mike and Cina on Win Your Wish List, February 20, BBC One at 8.30pm to find out how they got on.
