Dave Scott , 22 , and Sarah Oliver , 24 , from Sunderland , have beaten hundreds of entrants to become finalists of the UK 's 'Punching Above Your Weight ' competition . Originally there were five finalists , but one couple were disqualified from the competition after producers discovered that Andrea Burlington , 36 , of South Shields , had entered her deceased husband .

' Andrea Burlington , 36 , of South Shields , above , entered her husband Andrew in the competition as a way of keeping his memory alive . Andrew , who had two children with Andrea , sadly passed away in 2013 . 'It was my daughter who suggested I enter the competition , and as the conditions said nothing about the entrants being alive , I thought why not ! Andrea brought Andrew 's ashes into the studios in the urn usually kept next to her bed . Surprised station bosses checked with their legal team and despite her being selected as a finalist , the rules stipulated that the holiday must be awarded to a winning couple , whereas Andrea wanted to take her and Andrew 's two children , Shannon , 18 , and Chloe , 11 . The Metro Radio team decided to treat Andrea and her children to another holiday anyway and an emotional Andrea said : ' I could n't believe it . Andrew was the breadwinner and I was a stay at home mum , there would be no way I would have be able to take the kids anywhere in the foreseeable future .

It 's been an emotional roller coaster and we 're so happy that we were able to give her and her girls the chance to go away too .
