Destination X winner reveals how she will spend her prize money

The winner of Rob Brydon’s BBC show Destination X has said she will spend some of the £100,000 prize to go on holiday with her family.

Judith Magambo, who is from Bristol and works as a nuclear engineer in Somerset, was one of the contestants travelling around on a bus with blacked-out windows, trying to work out where they were.

The grand final aired on Thursday night and Ms Magambo was crowned the winner after being the first to find presenter Rob Brydon at the Spanish Steps in Rome.

“It was definitely not what I expected. I did not expect us to be completely in the dark pretty much all the time,” Ms Magambo, 28, said.

She added: “You had earmuffs, were blindfolded – completely in the dark.

“That was when I started to feel a little bit out of my comfort zone. We had to rely only on the clues and the challenges.”

The contestants were put to the test with challenges throughout their journey, as well as receiving clues about their destination.

“A lot of the time I did have to rely on myself,” Ms Magambo said.

“I am a nuclear engineer, I think people got intimidated, thinking I know everything about the world.

“I had to figure it all out on my own which worked out in my favour.”

Ms Magambo said she wants to make the prize money last.

“I’ve got to be sensible,” she said. “At the same time, I need a break, I need some time to myself.

“I’ve gone straight from sixth form to uni to a graduate job and have been working ever since. So travelling with my family would be nice.”
