"I saw it on Instagram and just entered it – I’ve always wanted a camper van, but I knew I would never be able to afford one. It’s a really good van, I had it up in the Cairngorms recently.”

The van came courtesy of Bristol firm Vanny Campers and Katy was picked from thousands of entries to win the vehicle – which is known as Ivy.

Ryan Brewer, Vanny Campers director, said: “My partner and I run a small camper van competition business online – our ethos is to give others the chance to win an amazing camper van for a tiny fraction of the cost.

"During the last live draw, our winner was Katy – she bought twenty two tickets and out of 6699 entries, her number 6253 was picked as the winner of the van. We were absolutely delighted for her.

"She flew down here to Bristol to pick her camper van up. We hid the van close by and filmed the reaction of Katy first seeing her new van, it was a really nice moment.”
