"It's an amazing feeling. I imagine it will take a few days before it really sinks in," 28-year-old Andy said. "I've been pretty upset having lost matches before but I would say that's probably the most emotional I've been after a win. "It's incredible that we managed to win this competition. I didn't know that would ever be possible. It's great."

Among those cheering on team GB – and Andy in particular – was his proud wife Kim, who is around six months pregnant with their first child.
