Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.

Today's contestants are:
Rachael Burtwistle: Trainee journalist...making news with a win?
Robert Howell: Student who wants to pass our exam
Emma Stevens: Wants to sing to us...maybe Money, Money, Money?

The top value on the Wheel is 1,000. Nothing is impossible with extra help, though we don't know if you'd be one to share a £100 bonus...
