An amputee cricketer is celebrating after winning a life-changing £50,000 on the Gary Lineker ITV gameshow Sitting on a Fortune.

Rob Franks chose to have his left leg removed in 2011 after a cancerous growth left him in chronic pain.

The 44 year-old from Poole, Dorset, won the huge sum after correctly answering a question about a celebrity who loves knitting.
