VIEW THE WINNERS

Tubz (Marc Almond – CookingWithTubz)

Real name Marc Almond, aka Tubz, is a TikTok star with nearly 400,000 TikTok followers and millions of views on his bingo content.

Tubz has become one of bingo’s most enthusiastic and entertaining ambassadors,

WhichBingo and Tubz paired up for a tour of UK bingo clubs from Poole to Leeds, rating the food, the atmosphere, and the prizes with infectious enthusiasm. A genuine bingo superfan who is a subject matter expert on all things bingo!

Toni Laites – Love Island Winner

Sometimes bingo finds its fans in the most unexpected places like, say, the Love Island villa.

Toni Laites became the first American to win the UK Love Island in 2025, capturing the nation’s hearts with her quick wit and infectious personality.

But it was a moment during the show itself that caught the bingo world’s attention: while on a date in the villa, Toni casually mentioned that she plays bingo for fun, a throwaway comment that delighted viewers and sparked no shortage of chatter online.

Toni is a great representation of the younger generations love of bingo.

Best hobby in the world Toni 🙏
You'll have to join us for a game when you leave the villa 🤩 https://t.co/RuSzWdrVk9

Danny Scott – Dabbers Bingo

Danny Scott is one of the headline hosts at Dabbers Social Bingo, the contemporary bingo venue in the heart of London, where comedians and cocktails.

As a comedian and performer, Danny brings the house down night after night, running Musical Bingo rounds that have audiences up and dancing. He’s been part of Dabbers’ iconic hosting team for its 7th birthday celebrations and has become one of the most recognisable faces in modern, entertainment-led bingo. A reminder that when bingo meets comedy, the result is something truly electric.

BingooBenj (Benj Maycock)

Few people in the bingo world have had a journey quite like BingooBenj. Benj Maycock was working as a refuse collector for Birmingham City Council when he spotted a job ad for a show host at Mecca Bingo in Wednesbury.

A trained musician who studied at Access Creative College on the same course as Ed Sheeran, and who has toured with James Arthur and performed at the O2 and the Royal Albert Hall, Benj brought his rap skills to the bingo hall and in 2022 was crowned National Bingo Game Caller of the Year, winning the crowd over with his self-penned rap track B!ngo!, which he simultaneously released on all streaming platforms.

Since his win, he has served as an industry ambassador, appeared on ITV’s This Morning, attended events at the House of Commons, and returned to the National Final as a judge in 2024.
