1:13
Yes, and for those of you who are just tuning in, I am going to tell you now that behind me on the wall of Make Me a Millionaire Vault, there are nine locked safety deposit boxes
1:22
Inside eight of them is nothing. But inside one of those boxes is a life changing one million pounds
1:29
When the finalist enters the vault, they're going to choose a box. They'll bring it over to the table in front of me and then they will read what's inside
1:36
One finalist will be reading out those wonderful words, heart, make me a millionaire
1:41
and when they do, they will be winning the biggest prize on UK radio
1:46
A life-changing £1 million. Yeah, it's time then to randomly select our first person to head to the Make Me a Millionaire vault
1:55
Amanda, it's a bit like the FA Cup draw, isn't it? Yes, it is! Amanda, reach into the box
2:00
Will you pull out a key and will you tell us who's first into the vault this morning

2:08
Goodness knows what else is in there. There's keys. Okay, I have the first key, and it's our ninth finalist
2:14
It's Lorraine Shedd. She's first up. Wow. Can you believe it? Lorraine is, well, she's last in first up

2:41
With a million pounds, I would help our children and grandchildren out financially
2:48

5:30
What a 24 hours Lorraine has had. It does mean that we have eight finalists eagerly waiting to make it to the Make Me a Millionaire vault
5:40
As Amanda says goodbye to Lorraine, it is now time to put your hand in that box in front of you
5:45
and randomly select another key and tell us who's up next. It is Martin Laird, everybody. Martin Laird is up next
5:55
Well done, Martin. And the very first person into this year's million pound final
6:03
Hart, make me a millionaire. My name Martin I from Bolton I think if we won the million pounds me and my wife would give up work and move to Fuerteventura help out my family and help out some underprivileged kids in my local community
6:19
The night before I entered Hart, Make Me a Millionaire, my wife had told me that she entered it
6:23
and she said if she got through, she would have given up the money and gone into the draw
6:29
and she laughed about how I might be listening to that on the radio. So the very next morning, I gave it a show up, got through, and I thought, I'll turn the tables on you
6:41
So Martin, second up, he's travelling to the vault via our Millionaire's Lift
6:45
Let's open those doors and reveal our second finalist. Here he comes
6:53
Welcome, Martin. So lovely to see you again. And you. You're an A&E doctor for children, so you're very used to staying calm in stressful situations, I imagine
7:02
Yes. And you're very calm? At the moment, not so much. Not so much
7:07
Okay, fantastic. Remind us what you would do with a million pounds
7:11
Donate a bit to charity. Yep. Give up work with my wife. Yep

8:27
Martin is not our millionaire No, the second box opened as one door closes, another opens for our seven remaining finalists who all heaved a huge sigh of relief
8:39
I could see them in the green room. One of them is going to become a millionaire before 10 o'clock
8:43
Amanda, back to you. Will you please reach into that box and randomly select another key and tell us who's up next
8:51
OK. The next name on the list is hairdresser Julie Wilkinson. Julie is up next
9:00
Oh, Julie. Will you now make your way to the lift? And on the way to the vault
9:07
she wants to treat her mum with a million pounds. She turned down 6,000 pounds on the 25th of March
9:15
Hi, I'm Julie and I'm from West Mersey and I'm in the million pound final
9:20
When Pandora called me, the nerves, the is it really me? Have I got through this
9:26
and then I couldn't decide whether to take the money or to go into the draw
9:31
And eventually I went to the draw. So my million pound dream is
9:35
treat the husband, he wants a new watch and then take my mum to Disney
9:42
and then also treat her to a Caribbean cruise. I'm so excited for the million pound final
9:46
It is just such a life-changing amount of money. A finalist is making their way to the vault
9:53
via the millionaire's lift. So let's open those lift doors and reveal our third finalist
10:01
And that is the lovely Julie Wilkinson. We found the most amazing coincidence this morning
10:07
Julie is a hairdresser and she actually does Lorraine's hair. Lorraine was our ninth finalist who already has not won £1 million
10:16
But you are due to do her roots at nine o'clock tomorrow. I am, yes. I mean, that is unbelievable
10:21

Kieran, will you please make your way to the Millionaire's Lift and head down to the Make Me a Millionaire Vault
15:53
Kieran turned down four grand on Tuesday the 8th of April. Heart, make me a millionaire
16:01
Hi, I'm Kieran and I'm from Tamworth and I'm in the million pound final. The wife was like, he's taking the money like when I was on the phone
16:07
And I was just like, turned around and was like, no. There was a little bit of a dread in her eyes at first
16:13
but then she turned around and said after, I fully support your decision because at the end of the day
16:19
yes, it can pay for a bathroom and that's it, really. So if I win the million, I'd pay off my mortgage
16:26
and set my kids up for life. On the day of the final, I think I'll be a bit of a nervous wreck
16:32
Let's open those lift doors and reveal our fifth finalist. Here he comes
16:40
Oh, my goodness, Kieran. How are you doing? I'm a bit of a wreck
16:45
You are a bit of a wreck. Tell us a little bit about your gorgeous boy, Alex
16:50
Alex, he's seven next week, actually. He's autistic. He's the most lovable kid you'd ever meet
16:57
But, unfortunately, he's non-verbal at the moment. So, obviously, one of the things is to get him a communication device
17:05
So that's what some of your money will be spent on, and other children like him, I understand
17:10
Yeah. Okay, fantastic. Who did you bring with you? My wife, Barbara. Barbara's here
17:14
Or Babs. Babs is here. I'm going to give you your key, Kieran
17:19
and I'm going to ask you what number you're going to choose. Number seven. Because Alex is seven next week
17:24
I had a feeling that might be one. Okay, listen, deep breaths, okay
17:29
And choose number seven. There we go. Kieran's a design engineer from Tamworth
17:35
Would be a very popular winner this morning. OK, the box is out, Jamie, and it's being placed in front of me
17:42
If you can just stand next to me here, Kieran. And then if you can open the box just there and read out what it says
17:53
Say it! What did you say, Kieran? Oh, maybe a millionaire! Wow
18:06
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God
18:14
Oh, my God. Kieran Williams. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Has just won a million pounds live on Heart Breakfast
18:23
Oh, my gosh. The gun's on him. He had to lift me up. Oh, my goodness
18:27
Kieran, just try and put into words. How that felt! I can I really can He is crying It is very emotional In fact everybody on the studio floor is crying
18:43
This is obviously going to be a game changer for you and your family and your gorgeous boy, Alex
18:47
And for autistic children just like him, I know you're going to help them out in the community
18:52
I cannot believe it. Jamie, thanks, Dan. Kieran Williams has just won a million pounds
19:00
Amanda, take a breather compose yourself because I want you to bring Kieran down to the
19:06
heart studio. I'd like to give a shout out to obviously Babs that's waiting downstairs
19:10
for me and I know two of my cousins actually found out
19:14
after my call on the other day Todd and Paul and their
19:18
wives, Lisa and Sophie. And I think my brother works with my cousin
19:24
Paul so he may have actually been listening to this now. Get him down to the stupor
19:32
Don't go anywhere. We're going to be speaking to Kieran Williams, the UK's newest millionaire
19:38
next here on Heart Breakfast. Heart, make me a millionaire. Heart, make me a millionaire
19:47
Heart Breakfast making. I'm a millionaire. Ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome the UK's newest millionaire, Kieran Willio
20:10
Oh, my goodness me, Kieran. I'm not going to lie. I think we've all desperately wanted you to win
20:18
It's going to be a life-changing amount of money for anybody, but especially for your family
20:22
Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I am lost for words. I honestly don't know what to say at this point
20:28
It's a lot to take in. It's crazy. It's that thing, you don't, you enter
20:34
you don't expect to get that call. Yeah. And, yeah. It has happened
20:40
Six grand you turned down. Yeah. I'm guessing that's the best 6,000 pounds you've ever turned your back on
20:46
I've had better days. Definitely. Definitely the right pounds. Kieran's son Alex is non-verbal
20:53
Now, Alex attends a special school, doesn't he? And I know that you're raising money for an AAC device
20:59
Can you explain to us what that is? Yeah, so it's essentially like a tablet
21:05
It basically has pictures and he'll be able to press those pictures
21:10
It helps him communicate. Because that's the main struggle with him, really
21:15
We're quite fortunate. He's a really happy, bubbly kid. And it's just the one thing that is a stress with him, really, I suppose
21:25
from a major stress. So, yeah, it'd be amazing for him to start communicating
21:30
His school have been sort of pushing for that. It's in the early infancy of it
21:36
But it's a long... Well, they've got to jump through a lot of hoops
21:40
And they're expensive things. It's an expensive bit of kit. We should also mention that you've got a little girl as well
21:46
Yeah, Ellie. Give a little shout out to Ellie. Daddy's a millionaire, Ellie
21:50
How are you going to spend the money? How old is she? She's three. Oh, right, OK
21:54
So she really doesn't care. And fully enough, we were talking yesterday
22:00
and for some reason we started going on about who's going to be a millionaire, not a millionaire
22:04
who's going to be famous. And I was asking my daughter, is daddy going to be famous
22:08
It's like, no. Your mum and dad actually don't even know why you're here
22:15
No, exactly. I'm slightly worried they're going to be inundated with cause
22:18
they're going to think it's some sort of huge prank. What do you think they're going to think when we let them know
22:24
Just get your fingers ready on the bleep. Oh, okay. That's a good warning
22:29
Now, am I right in saying that your mum, is it Myrna? Yeah
22:34
She's been looking after Ellie, is that right? That's right. And she has no idea what's about to happen
22:38
No. Kieran, why don't you tell mum how your morning's gone so far
22:43
Morning, Myrna. Morning, Ellie. Morning. Morning, Ella. Morning, mum. Morning, Ellie. Morning, ducky, mummy
22:52
You behaving for a nanny. Yeah. Yeah, Mum, unfortunately, we didn't get that lying this morning
23:01
Yeah. We've just become millionaires. What? You're joking
23:13
Oh, my God, I'm shaking. Just quickly, Myrna, tell us a little bit about him
23:19
What's he like as a son? Oh, he's brilliant. Brilliant. and he always has been
23:25
He couldn't ask for a better son. Well, look, he absolutely deserves it
23:30
He's a perfect guy. Go ahead now. He's like... All of a sudden
23:36
we've become the most popular man in town. It's Kieran's dad, Peter
23:43
who joins us now on FaceTime. Morning, Peter. Morning. How are you doing, Dad
23:48
Yeah. Yeah. Nothing to worry about. I've got a bit of good news
23:53
a bit of bad. I turned down £6,000 but I won a million
24:01
F***. You don't know that babysitting feature. I knew he'd be doing that
24:09
Do you think that's going to change him now he's won a million quid
24:15
No, it's still we're tied. Is it like winning two million then
24:23
Well, I know what I'm giving you then. Babs is in tears
24:27
Babs is in tears. Kieran is in tears. We just made a million dreams come true for them
24:31
The UK's newest millionaire, Kieran Williams
