CLERICAL assistant Donna Smith ended up winning a trip to Paris after getting a big break on The Big Breakfast.

She had tried several times to get on the whacky Channel 4 show without luck. But finally patience paid off and she took part in a phone quiz "Show Us Your Behind" and won.

"I couldn't believe it," said Donna, 23, of May Street, Nelson, who works at Burnley firm P and C Walmsley.

"I'd tried before but never got on. I just had to leave my details on an answerphone and they got back to me and asked if I wanted to take part.

"It was great. I videoed the show and have been showing the tape to everyone."

Donna, pictured with boyfriend Regan Stobbs, plans to take him on the romantic trip.

She is waiting for details of her lucky break from the TV company.
