A mum has become kmfm's first 'Thousand Pound Friday' winner of 2023.

Karen May, from Shadoxhurst near Ashford, received a phone call from Drivetime host Rob Wills who was bearing the exciting news.

Karen picked up the phone in high spirits while having a "cheeky Nando's".

After finding out Karen was halfway through her dinner, Rob asked if he should ring her back.

But she quickly replied no as she had a hunch it was kmfm on the phone.

"Do you know what, I really do think that it is possibly kmfm," she said.

Karen said £1,000 would be "absolutely fantastic" to her and her three children.

"I have one child at university and we have another two joining in September," she said.

"They've already spent it in Ikea. Thank you so so so much!"
