Lancaster's new Mastermind champion is set to host a very special quiz night of her own in the city centre.
Diane Howe, just weeks after winning the Grand Final of the iconic BBC quiz, will turn quizmaster for an Animal Care fundraiser at the Gallico Lounge in Lancaster.
The event at the Market Street venue will be on Friday June 5 from 7pm and all are welcome.
Diane won the Grand Final of the ultimate test of trivia in nail-biting fashion on BBC2 on April 20.
The Animal Care charity volunteer triumphed in a tie-break to win the famous glass bowl on the programme which has run on the BBC since 1972.
She then visited us at Beyond Radio to tell us how she did it!

There will be teams of six on the night, £2 admission, a fundraising raffle, and all proceeds go to Animal Care, a rescue shelter for animals based on Blea Tarn Road in Lancaster.
Diane has volunteered at Animal Care for six years and is known as a "cat cuddler" who looks after the cats, often sitting in the cattery while she revised for Mastermind!

Her specialist subject in the final was astronaut Jim Lovell, commander of the Apollo 13 space mission.
On the programme, Diane visited the National Space Centre in Leicester and received a good luck message from famous British astronaut Tim Peake.
She scored 12 points on her specialist subject questions, then 13 on the general knowledge round.
Diane reached the final after storming to victory in the heats, winning with 26 points after getting all her questions correct on specialist subject Katherine Parr - the sixth wife of King Henry VIII.
Then she won her semi-final with 20 points, her specialist subject being the musician Jeff Buckley.
