A gran who was roped into a boozy Wetherspoons Game where she ended up with a table covered in pints and glasses of wine has said she is "overwhelmed" at becoming a viral star.<\/p>\n
Brits fell in love with 77-year-old Josephine, or Nanna, from Sandbach, when her daughter Belinda and her partner Mark got her involved in 'Wetherspoons the Game', where strangers buy drinks for you via the Spoons app.<\/p>\n
Josie, as she is also known, and husband Geoffrey were treated to what they thought would be a quiet "nightcap" at The George Inn in Sandbach, Cheshire, by son in law Mark Hamlet, but the evening quickly took a turn as the couple was plied with pints, wine and shots.<\/p>\n

Josie's daughter Belinda, who was also at the pub during the unexpectedly heavy drinking sesh, told the Daily Star her family had no idea how many drinks they'd receive and added that while her mum didn't really "understand the technology" she revelled in the newfound fame.<\/p>\n

Josie herself told the Daily Star: "I\u2019m overwhelmed by the reaction. It is raising awareness of Wetherspoons The Game and how that supports bringing people together. I hope others see how amazing this is and a way to spread happiness and joy." <\/p>\n
Belinda told the Star yesterday (December 5) that her mother would be donating quite a chunk of money to Wetherspoons The Game's charity drive to feed homeless people in Brighton on December 11.<\/p>\n
"The game itself is providing meals for the homeless and I\u2019m delighted to support this through their next event. I encourage you to get involved!" Josie added.<\/p>\n
