Online bingo winner in Emmerdale cameo
Free bingo player on that winning feeling
An online bingo winner has talked about hitting the jackpot ahead of her TV debut in front of seven million Emmerdale fans.
Fiona Dow, a 40-year-old production administrator from Somerset, makes a cameo appearance in an ident for the popular ITV1 soap this week, reports the Yeovil Express.
These idents, organised by an online bingo operator, will run for the next 14 months at the start and end of ad breaks for the long-running soap Emmerdale, which regularly attracts audiences of more than seven million.
More than 100 online bingo winners will be featured in the campaign, including of course Fiona.
The £10k online bingo jackpot
A few months ago, she acted out every bingo players' dream by scooping a £10,000 jackpot.
"I just couldn't take it in at the time," she recalled. "I was playing Cinco, which is a card-based bingo game, and I'll never forget these two cards I was waiting for - the king of hearts and the two of diamonds.
"When they popped up, I was stunned. I didn't know what to do."
After a £10,000 bingo jackpot and a TV cameo in front of seven million viewers, you could be forgiven for thinking Fiona's dream year couldn't get any better.
But you'd be wrong because she also managed to squeeze in a marriage proposal too.
Earlier this year, boyfriend Max whisked her home to Dunfermline and asked for her hand in marriage before a select audience of friends and family. The wedding will take place soon.
Of course, BOGOF Bingo has won a legion of fans for its own free bingo campaign.
The DJ Talent BOGOF Bingo ad, featuring everyone's favourite reality TV star, draws attention to the hours of free online bingo games available onsite every week of the year.
