She continued: “I arrived in 1939, with my parents and sisters. We arrived in the east end of London.

“But I’ve written a book, 10 years ago and I’m more surprised than you that at 91 I’m still here.”

When asked what she would spend any money she won on, Margot said: “I want a nice, big telly.

“Ours is 10 years old so I want one of those that’s like a computer and I can watch everything.”

Margot bagged £2,000 in her cash builder.

Did the team win?

She beat The Vixen in the next round and bagged herself a spot in the final.

The team had £37,000 in the prize pot. However, The Vixen managed to beat them with just three seconds remaining.

Following the team’s loss, viewers took to Twitter to express their disappointment for Margot.

Especially because she wouldn’t be able to get herself a spanking new TV!
