A freelance writer who lives in Bury scooped £60,000 on ITV quiz show Beat the Chasers last night. Melissa, originally from San Diego, California, defeated the expert quizzers and now plans to use some of the cash so that she and her young son can visit family in Australia, as reported by The Express.
Only six seconds were left on the impressive contestant's clock and one on the Chasers' when host Bradley Walsh asked Melissa: "What Oxford museum was designed by Charles Robert Cockerell?"
She gave the correct answer of Ashmolean, leaving the Chasers without sufficient time to hit back. Melissa went on to dedicate her win to her grandmother, who was a massive fan of the show before she died at the age of 101 a couple of years ago.
