James said: “It’ll be a surprise for Andrew. I’ll get you a McDonald’s, maybe two Big Macs.”
When asked how the couple would spend the money aside from their anniversary plans, James said: “I just want to be able to spoil my cats and some of the family as well.”
Andrew, who is a plumber, added: “I think it’ll have to be a few cocktails for me, and of course a jacuzzi.”


Andrew also loves woodworking and plans to take his business to the next level with some professional equipment.
