This is why I comp...

Firstly a huge thank you to Lakshmi for [thread=5291789]this comp[/thread]. I received a WEM a couple of weeks ago to say I'd won two tickets to watch the live recording of the Celebrity Chase.


My son and I went last night and had an amazing time. We bypassed the long queue of people waiting to get in and went straight to reception where we were met my someone from the production team who took us up to the studio.


He led us straight past all the tiered seating and down onto the studio floor where there was a small group of chairs. That's where we were seated! About 2 meters from the bit the celebs stand on to answer the questions. It was amazing!


By coincidence we also ended up sitting next to the man who wrote the questions! Very interesting chatting to him.


Bradly Walsh came right up to us and the Chaser waved from where he sat.


Money can't buy an experience like this. We're still on a high from going and will never forget our fabulous evening.
