JONATHAN ROSS has gone up in my estimations after his recent good deed.
I can reveal that the veteran TV presenter splashed out £25,000 on a car for a contestant who took part in his latest Channel 4 gameshow.
Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing saw two people from different walks of life chained together 24/7 for the chance to win £100,000.
But when North London barmaid Tilly Martin lost out on a share of the mega prize money, Wossy took pity on her.
The kind-hearted dad-of-three, who is worth £30million, bought Tilly – who spends her spare time feeding the homeless – a Ford Puma once filming for the show wrapped.
A source said: “Tilly still lives with her mum and was really living hand-to-mouth.

“Jonathan felt bad for Tilly after she lost out, so he quietly paid for a new car out of his own money to help get her on her feet. It was a little out of the ordinary but Jonathan just wanted to help and could see that a vehicle would make her life a little easier.
“He didn’t want anyone to know about his kind gesture, he just wanted to help – especially as she gave so much time to homeless people in the capital.”
In the show, Tilly was handcuffed to eccentric millionaire classic car businessman Anthony Saxon Kearsley.
She said on the show: “If I won a share of £100,000, to me, that’s lottery money.
“I think Britain is divided. You’re either really, really rich or you’re on your a**hole
“I work three jobs. I think when people first meet me, they think, ‘Oh, she’s a bit much’. I swear quite a bit. It just happens.”
Both Channel 4 and Jonathan declined to comment.
