Viewers left delighted after blind contestant on The Wheel wins £45k after ... trends now
The Wheel viewers were moved to tears following Saturday night's show, after a blind contestant took home £45,000 for correctly answering a question about art.
The contestant quickly became a fan-favourite throughout the evening with his cheeky sense of humour - making several jokes throughout the game about his own disability.

The presenter then became visibly emotional and had to blink away tears.
Comedian Michael then pointed out the irony, praising Toby for how well he did.

'I can't believe you have come on this wheel, you are a blind man, you have been given a question on art to win the show, you have hilariously pointed out, during the question, not a big fan of art, never actually seen it!'
Toby then joked: 'I tell you what,
