Clooney, Amal and the kids join the Tartan Army thanks to itison winner Claire Phale.

Lucky itison prize winner Claire Phale swapped the school run for the spotlight after meeting Hollywood icon George Clooney for lunch this afternoon, Thurs 30th April, and brought a brilliant touch of Scottish football flair to the occasion.

The 35‑year‑old itison prize draw winner met the Oscar‑winning actor for an exclusive lunch for Social Bite at the Gleneagles Hotel where she surprised Clooney with a set of personalised Scotland football strips for his family, joking it might even bring the squad extra good luck when they head to the World Cup this summer.

Claire presented George with a strip emblazoned “Clooney 1”; Amal was gifted the captain’s strip inspired by Andy Robertson with number 3 on the back while the iconic numbers of midfield favourites John McGinn and Scott McTominay featured on shirts for Clooney’s eight year old twins Alexander and Ella.

Earlier this year Claire entered itison’s charity prize draw in support of Social Bite and was shocked last week to find out that out of thousands of entrants, she had won.

“This has been an absolute dream — I was so nervous when I found out, but it’s been even better than I could have ever imagined. My mum is a huge Clooney fan and when I told him – he immediately said “Where is she? Go bring her in!” and got a picture with us both. They say never meet your heroes, but he was honestly fantastic.”

“I’ve been supporting Social Bite on itison for years – I always donate to the itison Christmas campaign where you can buy a Christmas dinner for someone experiencing homelessness but I truly never thought I would win this. The only thing I’ve ever won in the past is a hamper with some shortbread!

“My mum has had an absolutely amazing time and is over the moon with her pic – it's been an experience that we will never forget.”

The VIP experience began with Claire, and her mum, being collected from her Edinburgh home by chauffeur and whisked away for a luxurious overnight stay in a stunning suite overlooking the Gleneagles estate, before meeting Clooney for lunch.

To date itison has raised an incredible £4.75 million for Social Bite through its annual Christmas campaign where you can donate £5 to buy a meal for a person experiencing homelessness – with funds raised helping towards Social Bite’s goal to end homelessness across the UK.

Itison CEO Oli Norman added: “Our George Clooney fundraiser for Social Bite has been incredible raising over £50,000 with thousand entering.

“Giving our members once-in-a-lifetime experiences like this is what we’re all about and it’s been a day we’ll be talking about for a long time to come.”
