The £250,000 top prize was scooped by a 24-year-old woman in filming on Tuesday - but her triumph will not make screens until early next year.
The success, watched by the woman's family and friends, beats a previous record of £120,000, held by Jennifer Miller since November 2005. The new winner has not yet been named by producers.
Host Noel Edmonds, along with the team behind the show, is said to be delighted at the news. A source told the Daily Mirror: "Noel is absolutely thrilled and so are the rest of the production crew.
"The only person not happy to be giving so much away is the banker."
