John Boulton, 40, was hard at work when BOTB presenter Christian Williams video called him to tell him he’d won a brand-new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, worn by the likes of Mark Wahlberg and Conor McGregor, worth a cool five figures.

John, who simply had to answer a question about cars to enter the weekly online competition, was in shock and now has no excuse to be late.

“Christian, I’ve been waiting a long time for you to call me,” he said. “It must be because I’m wearing my lucky hi-vis pants!” 

John, who owns house building company Marine Blue, has been playing for the watch for more than a year. 

“It’s come at a perfect time really. I turned the big 40 a few weeks ago but was unable to celebrate because of the coronavirus. I had a family holiday booked to Singapore and Thailand.”
