Oprah Winfrey surprised all her 276 audience members yesterday when she gave every one of them a new car worth £15,000.

The chat show queen handed out the gifts to celebrate the start of her 19th season on US television.

Winfrey first called 11 men and women on to the stage and handed each of them the keys to a giftwrapped Pontiac G6.
