A woman from Gargrave has won the holiday of a lifetime thanks to Your Ilkley Radio.
We teamed up with travel experts Kuoni to give one lucky person the chance to win a 6-night trip to Mauritius.
The prize is for two people to stay in any Attitude hotel of their choice, staying in a standard room on half board with flights included.
And after thousands of entries, the winner was revealed as Vanessa Ford!
She plans to take her partner Matt on the trip later this year.

After discovering that she’d won, Vanessa said:
“Oh my god! That’s amazing, thank you so much.
“It’s just fabulous. It’s somewhere we’ve never been before and we really wanted a summer holiday somewhere sunny.
“It’s just amazing, it really is. It’s a fabulous thing to have won, so thank you to you and to Kuoni, it’s amazing.
“I already can’t wait.”
Vanessa was selected at random from 16 people in the ‘Departure Lounge’, made up of entrants from across the area.
Here’s how the draw was made:
