Dale, who paid just 50p for his ticket to enter the Luxury Lifestyle Competition, said he’ll be tuning into the football for sure.

“I’m a devoted Liverpool fan and I’m sure they’ll look even better on that big screen - I just hope it fits in the living room!”

The TV is more than two metres in size and four times the resolution of 4K.

All Dale had to do to enter the competition was answer a competition question, he was then randomly selected from all the correct entries.

“I’ve only been playing BOTB a few weeks so this is crazy to me - I can’t believe it.

“It’s been a tough year for everyone so this has come at such a great time, an early Christmas present and something to keep us busy during all of these restrictions!”

Dale used to DJ in clubs and pubs across Yorkshire but has taken his craft online because of the pandemic.

“Thankfully I’m still managing to work by doing shows from home using homerave.tv.” he added.
