Roofer lost for words after answering his phone on top of house {{favouriteCount}}

A roofer was lost for words after he answered his phone while 25ft in the air on top of a house.

George Webster, from Birkenhead, was on a roof in West Kirby when he answered a surprise video call. The 25-year-old was "lost for words" when he answered the phone and saw it was BOTB presenter Christian Williams.BOTB is a website where people can buy tickets to win huge prizes such as expensive cars, holidays and tech. George had entered into the midweek lifestyle competition, winning a gaming bundle worth more than £16k.

The 25-year-old’s prize includes an Infin8 gaming PC, a Rog Zephyrus gaming laptop, a Samsung Odyssey monitor and a Steelseries Arctis gaming headset, among a host of other computer simulation gadgets. After being told he won the bundle, George said: "I really don’t know what to say. It really is the most mind-blowing news I’ve ever had.”

The video showed George laughing at the thought of winning, and you can hear his two work colleagues laughing in the background. But George did admit his best friend and boss were not too pleased that he had won the competition. He said: “They’ve both been telling me for years that I should be playing BOTB. My best mate has played for five years and my boss for over a year, so when I broke it to them that I played for the first time on Monday and won with my first ever go they were absolutely gutted.

“Neither of them believed me, so in the end I had to send them the video of me getting the call from Christian.”

George added that he thought "lunch would be on him" today after his colleagues heard he had won the £16k bundle.
