Viewers of Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow were left in tears on Saturday night over a contestant's touching gesture on the show.
From the outset, viewers were desperate to see Abdul, 87, and his grandson Saif win the show over their sweet dynamic.
Unfortunately, the family duo had a rough time during the rounds, but they still went home with a spa day for two, a life drawing class, headphones, a cordless vacuum, a theatre trip and a 4k TV - as well as £250.
"You had some awful luck then," Alan commented, as the contestants went on to explain what they'd do with their winnings, melting viewers' hearts in the process.

"We had a little chat earlier while we were waiting outside, and my grandfather was a refugee when he was young in a refugee camp," explained Saif.
The grandson continued: "So we are going to donate the money to a charity that deals with refugees."
"Oh my god, you're going to donate it to charity!" exclaimed Alan, as the studio audience erupted into applause. "Abdul you are a gent and thank you Saif, that's amazing!"
