She dashed into the studio to share the news with her colleagues on the Telemadrid TV channel who were broadcasting a morning magazine show.

Her amazed fellow presenters rushed to her side and jumped up and down, clapped and shouted with her in celebration at her good fortune.

Crying with joy, Ms Minambres admitted: "I can't even talk. I don't believe it.

"I've always wondered what people feel like when they win. You see it on TV, everyone celebrating, but when it comes to you, you don't know how to react."
