Claudia Winkleman becomes emotional during One Question episode as a father-and-daughter duo win the £100k prize in heartwarming moment

Claudia Winkleman became emotional as a father-and-daughter duo scooped £100,000 on One Question.

The TV presenter, 53, hosts the general knowledge quiz show on Channel 4 where contestants only have to answer a single question to win the six-figure sum.

Hopefuls are given a series of possible answers to choose from and must choose the correct one, but Dave and Emily hadn’t even seen them.

The question was What Is Smith, and the answer needed was whoever had written The Hundred and One Dalmatians.

Emily had a ‘gut feeling’ that the answer was Dodie Smith, and her dad told her to go for it. 

An intense moment followed, where the Strictly Come Dancing host couldn’t even bear to look at the screen to see if it flashed green to signify the big win.

Emily was indeed correct, as Dodie had written the novel in 1956 before it was adapted into a Disney carton in 1961 and then as a live-action remake with Glenn Close in 1996.  

Claudia said: ‘I can’t cope. I’m sorry I can’t leave. You are amazing. I’m sorry I don’t know why I want to cry, this is ridiculous.’ 

As the news sunk in that they had secured a ‘life-changing’ amount of money, Claudia was in shock as well. 

She said: ‘Oh my gosh… What a brain! That has never happened before. Your brain served you well and do you know what else did?

‘Your dad who just sat next to you and said ‘I’ve got your back, go for it.’ 

‘That’s life-changing money. That’s a lot of money and you did that in under six minutes.’

Dave also struggled to contain his emotions, and broke down in tears and spluttered: ‘I’m just happy for her’

Claudia previously revealed that she did indeed break down after the historic moment, as she noted how ‘good’ it felt for everyone in the studio that day as well. 

‘I did cry. I don’t really cry because I’m over 50, wearing too much fake tan and too much eyeliner, but it was a proper moment. 

‘It was a proper moment for everyone in the studio and that’s when you know it’s good.’
