A YOUNG Purbeck farmer has won £10,000 after fighting his way through obstacles on crazy TV game show Winter Wipeout.

Millions of viewers watched on Saturday as Tristan Windebank, 20, from Bovington, battled through snow-covered courses to score the fastest times on the popular BBC programme.

The dairy worker told presenters Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram that he wanted to buy a new tractor. Tristan finally saw off his rivals by completing a fiery tie-breaker challenge in three minutes and 10 seconds. He now goes through to the series finale.
