A woman with no legs won a treadmill on a US game show and it was very awkward

But she took it in her stride.

APPEARING ON A game show is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re gonna get.

Yesterday, a woman who appeared on the US game show The Price is Right won a treadmill.

Only problem? She is in a wheelchair and she has no legs.

D’oh.

Danielle Perez, who is a comedian, told CNN that she thought it was “a really big joke” but then quickly realised it wasn’t.

But there was no irony in their cheers or applause.

Following her win, Perez shared maybe the best tweet ever.
