Who are the presenters on Postcode Lottery adverts

Four celebrity presenters front the People's Postcode Lottery television campaigns in 2026: Davina McCall, Emma Willis, Fred Sirieix, and Mike Wedderburn. These four appear in the major seasonal adverts, while three separate ambassadors visit winners in person.

Davina McCall

Davina McCall presented Big Brother for eleven years and currently hosts The Masked Singer on ITV. She has been involved with the lottery's campaigns since 2025, appearing in both the spring and Christmas television pushes. Her role in the adverts typically involves asking viewers whether their door is in the draw.

Emma Willis and Mike Wedderburn

Emma Willis took over Big Brother presenting duties in 2013. She also fronts The Voice UK. Mike Wedderburn is an ITV News presenter with over three decades of broadcasting experience. Both appear alongside McCall in the coordinated seasonal campaigns.

The April 2026 'Big Spring Win' campaign featured all four core presenters in adverts directed by Vince Peone, promoting a prize pot of £25.7 million. The campaign ran across TV, social media, and radio.

Fred Sirieix

Fred Sirieix, the maître d'hôtel from First Dates, joined the lottery's campaigns in 2025. He appears in the same seasonal adverts as the other three presenters. For Christmas 2025, the quartet promoted the largest-ever festive prize pot of £38.2 million. Media planning was handled by the7stars working alongside the lottery's in-house team.

Radio partnership presenters

A parallel radio partnership with Global featured a different lineup. Amanda Holden, Sian Welby, Myleene Klass, Jenni Falconer, and Chris Moyles asked listeners the same question across their respective breakfast shows during the spring campaign.

The three ambassadors who visit winners

While celebrities front the national campaigns, a dedicated team of three ambassadors travels the country to present cheques in person. Winners meet these ambassadors at their door, not the television presenters. The three are Judie McCourt, Matt Johnson, and Danyl Johnson. They appear regularly in the lottery's regional press coverage and social media content, celebrating with winners of the daily and weekly prizes.

Prize structure

A single £12.50 monthly ticket plays for all prizes. For June 2026, a total prize pot of £20.8 million must be won.

Every day, 20 postcodes are drawn, and every ticket in those postcodes wins £1,000. Every Saturday, one postcode is announced to share a £1 million prize pot. Each month (excluding April and December), every ticket in one winning postcode wins a guaranteed £250,000. In the April and December draws, a multi-million-pound prize pot is shared among all players in a winning postcode sector.

How the subscription works

The People's Postcode Lottery is a subscription-based lottery regulated by the Gambling Commission in Great Britain. Players pay a monthly fee to enter their postcode into every draw.

Charity funding

A minimum of 30% of every £12.50 ticket price is donated to charity. Since its launch in 2005, players have raised over £1.7 billion for thousands of charities and community projects across Great Britain and beyond. The funds are distributed by 20 separate Postcode Trusts, which are independent charities with specific themes, such as supporting animal welfare, environmental conservation, or local community groups. Young Lives vs Cancer, for example, has received over £24 million in funding from players.
