A US game show has presented a disabled contestant with a somewhat awkward prize.

Danielle Perez wheeled herself to The Price is Right stage where she was told by presenter Drew Carey that two prizes were on offer.

“Oh my god, these are really nice,” Ms Perez responds, clearly making the best of the situation.

She later correctly guessed the price of both the sauna and the treadmill, although not before social media users had reacted with amusement to the show’s perceived mistake.

Ms Perez, who lost both of her feet in an accident in 2004, also appeared to see the funny side.

The contestant, who also does stand-up comedy, has since been inundated with offers to appear on daytime TV shows.
