They will also receive a year’s free Volt services and tickets to Olly’s upcoming 2023 tour.

While Hollie was working at her local A&E during Olly’s visit and was unable to meet him in person, the presenter surprised her with a video call during a shift break.

Hollie, who has worked for the NHS for five and half years is pregnant with the couple’s first child together, a girl, which they’re expecting next year.

Hollie said: “It was such a shock to see Olly in my house. We live on a quiet road and have only recently moved in so definitely weren’t expecting a celebrity to knock on the door!

"We’re all huge fans of tech in the family, whether that’s for online gaming or sitting down to stream a movie together, so this bundle is hugely welcome.

"Oliver and I are expecting a baby early in 2023 too so the year’s free service will be a great help.”

Olly said: “I couldn’t have been happier that the millionth customer, Hollie, was a key worker. It was a real privilege spending time in her home and with her family, especially knowing how much the giveaway will help them stay connected with their loved ones.

"I really hope they enjoy all their new tech goodies and I look forward to welcoming Hollie’s family to my tour next year.”
