Epic Gameshow sees comedian Alan Carr host a revival of former classic gameshows, featuring Child's Play, Bullseye, Strike It Lucky, Take Your Pick.

Child's Play sees adults attempting to work out what children are discussing.

Welwyn Garden City-born David has been a supporter of Feed Up Warm Up for a number of years, and chose to support them during his appearance on Pointless Celebrities last year, bagging £1,250 for the homeless drop-in service. 

Following his latest big win, an emotional David said on the show: "I'm speechless, wow.

"Feed Up Warm Up is a homeless charity which was helping people out during the pandemic, who've been struggling for food and anything - wonderful guys."

Founder of Feed Up Warm Up, Shane Cole said: "I was sitting down with my family on Christmas Day after a lovely dinner, and boom! David wins £22k for the project!

"The money will mean we will be able to carry on the vital work we do in this area.

"Seeing the emotional response of David has shown me just how much he cares about our mission."

Feed Up Warm Up started its first drop-in session at Hitchin's Nightingale Road Scout Hut in December 2018.

Since, it has grown into a staple charity in Stevenage and Hitchin, helping the homeless, or those in poverty, have a healthy meal, company, warmth and even a free hair cut, each week.
