In one of these boxes sits £100,000.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
But, sadly, at the end of this line
sits the meanest man on television. PHONE RINGS
BOOING
Because nothing in life comes easy.
Welcome to Deal Or No Deal.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, please tell me we're gonna have a lovely day today.
Welcome to Deal Or No Deal, happy Friday and good afternoon to you.
Now, yesterday was a very emotional day when beautiful Wendy was here,
sharing memories from her lovely life.
Sadly, she didn't get the result she wanted as she sold her box
for £6,170, but it was actually worth £50,000 all along.
That means the Banker... Are you ready for this?
..has won every show this week.
Can you believe that?
But hopefully not today. Let's go out on a high.
Before we do that and find out who's gonna play,
I wanna chat to our lovely ladies on the end, Maz and Chantel.
Now, they've started a girl group, just in case you didn't know,
cos originally, Chantel was in a girl group
and you went to number three in the charts?
That's correct. With Fierce and you were fierce.
So, the girl group is called...
BOTH: Slay Sisters!
That's where we're starting, and they've opened auditions
for wing players. Mm-hm.
Who's actually gonna be auditioning?
So we've got Mickelle, Chisara. Oh, you've already done the auditions?
Yeah, oh, we did the auditions, last night, yeah.
Who's passed them then?
So, sadly Mickelle didn't. Oh, Mickelle.
You were so confident of getting in the group.
But she's our manager now.
Oh, right? Yeah.
Nice. Who's actually made it?
So, Nicole, Ellie, Sarah. Right.
I think we're still in, aren't we? Yeah, we're still in.
So you're still in. You're the founders! So, it's a five-piece.
Yes. Now, I did ask if you could do anything today.
I asked you that yesterday, but you've only just formed
the girl group, so maybe you can have a little rehearsal
over the weekend and we can see something on Monday?
We're gonna work very hard. They're gonna work very hard.
I cannot wait. Now, good luck, girls.
I love it! Now, Wendy. Wendy, Wendy, Wendy,
we don't need the Wendy R now, because we've lost our other Wendy,
so you're the only Wendy. I hear you're a very big hugger.
Everybody gets a hug, if they want it or they not.
Can I have a hug? Oh!
I've been waiting for this moment.
Shall we do a hug? Yeah.
Rather than join me, come out here then,
let's see what makes a good hug!
APPLAUSE
It's like, it's hard, firm. It's, ooh, right.
OK. Right, ready?
Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready.
Ooh, lovely.
Ooh! Ooh!
Very nice.
That's lovely then. OK. Yeah, lovely.
Yeah. That's it then, lovely, Wendy, thank you.
LAUGHTER
That really is plenty, I think, for the afternoon.
Oh, there we are. Wendy, everybody. Beautiful!
What a hug, what a hug!
Now, we do have a newbie. I don't know whether you spotted him.
Here he is, everybody, Kev S!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have you had a hug yet, Kev?
We did first thing this morning. Have you really?
A hug. You've already had one?
And it's day one, unbelievable. Now, Kev S, what do you do?
I'm a police officer from County Durham.
Oh, wow! How long you been in the force? 21 years.
Wowee, a very brave job and thank you so much for doing it,
and welcome to Deal Or No Deal, everybody.
APPLAUSE Thank you.
Good to see you, Kev. Enjoy your time. It's gonna be great.
Now remember, the Banker has won every day this week, but not today.
Fingers crossed. Can he have a clean sweep,
or can one of our wing players finish the week in style?
Who's it gonna be? Let's find out.
Good luck, everybody.
I really hope you have a big win to finish the week.
And the player taking the hot seat is...
Matt! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yes, it is! I'll tell you something,
this is gonna be one interesting game.
Let's go baby. Let's go!
He's always got words of wisdom.
Come on, let's go! Ooh, hello!
Ooh! Ooh!
APPLAUSE
And here he is.
Come on! How we doing, mate?
How are you?
Pretty good. This is great. The energy!
Yeah. Bit bittersweet, though. Why?
Cos I've been here so long that it's sad to go.
Oh! Do you know?
You like it that much?
I just love everyone, you know?
Yeah. 29th show today. Yeah.
Now let's find out loads more about our very own Matt.
What do you do for a living? So, do you want the boring answer first?
Oh, go on then. OK.
I'm an events manager for a research organisation,
so I gather scientists to conferences.
I don't know nothing about science, I just do organising stuff.
Now give us the exciting bit.
Exciting one, for nearly 20 years I've been a pro wrestler.
Yeah, so that's the walk down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole, I like it!
The box. Yeah, yeah.
I can imagine you getting in the ring, I can see it.
There you go. That's me in my pomp. Look at you!
You look so different without your glasses on.
I know, that's the beauty of it.
It's kind of like Clark Kent, Superman. I can see it.
You getting in the ring, the whole bravado. What's your wrestling name?
If I'm wrestling solo, I would be Man Mountain Matt Lomaxx.
If I'm in a tag team with my confidant, who I've brought with me,
I would be Crusher Lomaxx and together we would be The Bruisers.
The Bruisers and look, we can see the other Bruiser over there.
Look at this! There he is, the old Crippler Gordon himself.
Yeah! What's this belt, what is that?
That is one half of our tag team championships.
We held them for about three years. Nobody could beat us.
I've just thought about something.
Can you leave that belt on your chair and come up here for a minute?
Right, give him a round of applause, everybody.
APPLAUSE
Good to see you, mate.
Good to see you. Just stand together.
You look like brothers. That's the beauty of it.
Sometimes in matches, we will swap and people don't know that we swap.
Wow! So, we've been confused with other brothers, though, haven't we?
Go on, like who? Like the Mitchell brothers.
Oh, of course! Yes! You take, take the glasses off.
That's like an own goal! Urgh! Urgh! Yeah!
I didn't see that coming!
He just pulled out his teeth! LAUGHTER
Put 'em... Shall I put 'em back in?
Go on, pop 'em back in. Come on, be Luke again now.
Oh, and there he is. Hi, Stephen.
Oh, look at that. Please don't ever do that again!
No, this is lovely to meet you. Do it, brother.
Yes, mate. Good to see you, yes, absolutely.
APPLAUSE Did you see him take his teeth out?
What a great start this is.
The atmosphere is up in the room, everybody's smiling.
He's getting his teeth out.
LAUGHTER Now, before we do anything,
we need to do a bit of housekeeping, obviously.
Can you confirm you selected this box at random before the show began?
Absolutely, I did.
And our independent adjudicator is the only one who knows
what's inside your box and all the other boxes outside there.
Nobody else knows. That, you have my word on.
Now, inside the boxes, as you may know already,
but just in case we've got some new viewers, have a little look.
1p all the way up to £100,000, all spread out.
But what has Matt brought to the table today?
What is inside box number 9?
I know you've got powers as a wrestler,
but could you imagine if you had special powers to see inside?
If you could see inside, what do you think could be in there?
Since the whole time I've been here, never had the 50 or 75,
so I'm kind of thinking that now's the time.
Ooh, please. We would love that, wouldn't we?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes, we would!
Well, we would,
we would love you to walk away with a life-changing amount of money,
but the Banker obviously wouldn't.
No, he's the one who's gonna try and put
all of those blocks in your way after each round.
The offers will come in and he'll try and tempt you out.
Remember, you need to get rid of the blues and keep the reds.
The longer you keep the high reds,
the more nervous the Banker will get. Yeah.
Now, let's get to your plan for your game. OK.
What we doing? OK, so, for me, this game
has always been about the battle with the Banker.
Right, OK. Box selection is completely random,
so my plan is to basically play a bit of wing tennis,
so I'm gonna start from the outsides, left to right...
Yeah.
..and just work my way in, right to the middle.
Right.
With them two on the end remaining, and mine in the middle.
The only problem is... Yeah, go on.
..I haven't decided whether to start from the left or from the right. OK.
So, this is my lucky mascot. It's a coin.
Why is it lucky? I got really poorly a few years ago
and this was the only thing in my pocket
and it's stayed with me ever since.
So, I'm just gonna toss the coin, heads'll be left, tails'll be right.
OK, right. Here we go.
Heads is left, tails...
Heads. Heads.
Left it is, then. Right, left it is.
Well, I'm intrigued to see how this is gonna work out. Yep.
Let's play Deal Or No Deal! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's go then. Go on, Matt.
Come on, Matt.
So, we're starting on the left.
Big Kev, he's part of the breakfast club,
so every morning at the hotel,
there's always four of us that are there at 6:30 in the morning.
Kev's one of them.
Myself, Mick, Ozzy. Right.
I guess we just don't sleep, so... Well, Kev has played 16 shows
and has only had five blues.
His hit ratio of reds is unbelievable.
Kev, he wants to start with you.
Matt, I'm gonna miss you at breakfast tomorrow.
Cheers, mate. Good luck. Thanks.
I'm all right with that. I'm all right with that.
Another red, but a low red, so we're OK.
Yep. £2,000.
So, wing tennis, never even heard of it.
Serve it over there. Here it is.
Mickelle! Mickelle, number 11.
Let's wrestle down these blues for you.
Let's go. Go on, Mickelle.
Go on!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes! Beautiful. Nice one, Matt.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
£250, off the board.
Now, we'll ping it back. We go back to Nicole.
Nicole. OK.
Matt, we've talked and you've told me your story
and you've been through a lot, so I want this for you.
Go on, Nicole. Need a blue now, please, thank you.
That's fine, that's fine. £1,000.
Again, it's a low red. It's fine.
Yeah. If you are gonna take out the reds,
you want 'em to be the 1,000 and 2,000, as you've done.
I've never seen the game played like this. Yeah.
I wanted it to be unique. Well, it's definitely unique.
Rob, how you doing today, Rob? Very, very good, living the dream.
Yesterday, Rob had the £7,500. I can live with that.
But what does he have today?
You're a gentleman. Thank you, bud.
Go on, Rob.
Yes! Wow! Come on. This seems to be working.
Thank you, Rob. £10 off the board.
1,000, 2,000 gone and two blues.
Can you finish on a blue? Only one way to find out.
HE CLICKS HIS TONGUE
Nick, how you doing, Nick?
I really don't fancy being on the bad side of The Bruisers.
So I really hope it's a blue for you, Matt. Good luck.
Thanks.
Come on!
I'm fine, I'm fine with that.
I'm more than fine with that. £4,000.
We're done now, right? Yes! We are done for that round.
And I tell you what, as first rounds go...
Can't really sniff at it, can you?
No, you can't. This is a very nice,
in fact, a brilliant first round. I agree, yeah.
You know you've got to get rid of some reds at some point.
PHONE RINGS
Here we go.
Matt, I didn't know what I thought of it at first,
but now I'm thinking, he might be onto something.
Hello, Banker.
Yes, he's saying a very nice round. Thank you.
Ooh, now, before he gets into your game, Matt,
he would like to talk about this week.
He has won four in a row...
..and he believes he's gonna make it five out of five.
What do you think of that, Matt?
I've crushed enough wrestlers in the ring. I'll crush him as easy.
Ooh, I tell you, there, there's some big fighting talk.
MATT CHUCKLES
Ooh, he cannot wait for you to be on the ropes.
Yes, Matt The Man Mountain. Yes.
Do you know what they're gonna call him after this?
I don't know, what?
They're gonna call you The Pebble. LAUGHTER
The pebble with a penny. Fine.
He's saying that that board is already as gappy as those teeth.
Oh, whoa! LAUGHTER
I'm gonna hold back on that for now,
but, you know, I'm keeping the glasses on.
Luke's still here, OK, Banker. It's early.
Right.
He's never been more glad that nobody knows who he is.
LAUGHTER
Ooh, he likes your tactic!
He said it's fun, for now.
How long is that going to last? There's only one way to find out.
So, we now come to your opening offer, Matt. Yep.
Big man, big opening offer.
He's saying,
"£1,840.
"Ding, ding, ding. Fight time!" Ooh!
See, so, er, spend most of my career playing the villain,
but in this scenario, I'm gonna be the hero.
I'm gonna take him down. Ready for the question.
Wow, Matt! Slick!
£1,840.
Deal or no deal?
Thanks, Mr Banker. No deal.
Let's go. No deal!
This is a man who knows what he wants,
but is he gonna get what he wants?
Find out how his game continues after this break.
HE GROWLS
APPLAUSE
Welcome back to a very interesting Deal Or No Deal.
Now, Matt has just turned down £1,840 from the Banker.
He's a wrestler, just in case you've only just joined us,
and I need to find out a bit more about the main man himself.
So, you mentioned your 50p earlier on,
and you said it was lucky. Yes.
That was the only thing I had in my pocket
when I received my cancer diagnosis.
Right.
I was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Luckily caught it early. Fast forward, going through my recovery,
Christmas Day of that year, me and my mum both contracted COVID.
We both went in, in back-to-back ambulances
and because my immune system was completely tanked
from all the cancer stuff,
I was in hospital for about three and half months. Nearly died.
Lungs collapsed. Was a coin toss away from being put on a ventilator,
and I'm just happy I'm here, like...
That stayed with me the whole time and I'll never get rid of it.
And rightly so. That's quite an astounding story, to be honest.
That's a lot for any person to have to deal with. Yeah.
But you are here. Yes.
You're ready to fight another day. Yes.
And more importantly, you're ready to battle the man himself.
That guy there, yeah.
Shall we go on? Let's go.
APPLAUSE
If you did win big today, Matt, what would you spend it on?
So, like I said, me and my mum went in,
in back-to-back ambulances
and like, that woman raised me and my brother single-handedly.
Gave us everything, and the only reason I was admitted to hospital,
with her, was because she asked the paramedics checking on her
to check on me. And I could have died in my sleep.
She essentially saved my life, along with the wonderful NHS.
So, I just want, like, to just take us all away,
hire a villa or something. Doesn't have to be anywhere major,
just an escapism from all the rubbish we've been through.
You're ready. Yes.
He's ready. Yes.
Let's do it, come on. Three more boxes, Matt.
Wing tennis, right.
Yes, back to the pinging over.
Yeah. Chisara.
Matt, I really, really hope it's a blue for you.
You are such an incredible guy. Thank you.
Could this continue in the way it started?
Go on, Chisara.
Yes! Yay!
Ah! £1 off the board.
This is interesting, isn't it?
How do the players feel, knowing that you're going to go next? Sonya.
Yeah. How different is this game to everybody else's?
I quite like it. Do you?
I quite like it, because you know it's about to happen for you,
so you can kind of mentally prepare. I like it. Good strategy, Matt.
Thank you. Right.
Good luck. Thank you.
Go on, Sonya.
OK, our first hit. Oh, no, what is it?
Our first hit. It had to come at some point.
Yeah, of course.
But preferably not so soon, because we were feeling very good there.
£25,000 off the table.
It's quite amazing,
but you're alternating the red and blues as well.
Yeah. Go on.
Alexis, lovely, lovely Alexis.
Matt, I only made it down to early breakfast once.
Yes. But when I did, we had a great chat.
Come on, it has to be a blue. You never know
what Alexis is gonna pull out.
GROANING That's what I mean.
Oh! You never know.
The £100,000 has gone.
I'm really hoping the wheels haven't come off so quick,
cos I tell you what, when we started this wing tennis,
everyone was like, "This is amazing. Is this the way forward?
"Is this the answer to Deal Or No Deal that nobody's ever realised?"
But as we can see, it's possibly not.
The last two boxes, I'm sure the Banker is gonna be overjoyed with.
PHONE RINGS
Hello, Banker. Yes, the 100 has gone,
the 25 has gone, yes.
Matt, he's just asking, are you sure this tactic is working?
It was a great first round.
Soon, he said, you'll be down on the canvas and he'll be counting to ten.
Or three, whatever they count in wrestling, he's saying.
He said it's not his vibe.
He prefers the ballet.
OK, fine.
How confident are you that the 75 or the 50
is in your box today, he's asking?
50p is on top of it, 50 grand.
Ooh!
If you've got a hunch, he's got a hunch too. Cool.
He called you The Pebble With The Penny.
Yeah.
And he thinks the penny... is in your box.
Who's gonna be right?
Your offer, Matt, is now
£1,625.
And he says,
if his prediction is right,
you're gonna regret turning it down.
It's a... modest offer,
considering what I just wiped out.
Matt, can I speak, just a sec? Sure.
I'm looking at you and you've stopped believing in yourself.
But I believed in you all through the illness,
whenever we were tag-team champions, I believed in you
and I stood by you. Yeah.
Don't start doubting yourself now. Oh, no, I'm not deviating from it.
You stick with it. Yeah.
APPLAUSE Strong words there.
Ready for the question. OK.
£1,625.
Deal or no deal?
Thanks, Mr Banker, the battle continues.
No deal. No deal!
APPLAUSE
OK, three more, and three blues, please.
We're back over to the left. Yeah, Jemma.
Matt, my love, I feel like I've known you forever.
I'm praying that it's a blue.
Thank you. Go on, Jemma.
Good luck. Let's turn it on its head.
Yes! Yeah!
£5! There it is. There it is.
Thank you.
APPLAUSE £5 off the board! Well done.
We're back on track. Let's keep that going.
We're back right, Jamie.
Jamie, what do you make of Matt's tactic?
It's very interesting. It's different.
I hope you achieve your dreams. Thank you.
He'll only achieve the dreams and get one step closer if this...
Argh!
GROANING
I was literally gonna say, he'll only achieve his dreams
if you don't show us a big red.
He'd be one step closer, and bang!
Uppercut. £50,000.
ELLIE: Come on, Matt! Yeah, come on, Ellie.
APPLAUSE One more box.
We don't want wing tennis to turn into wrong tennis.
No. Guy. Stick with it.
My man. I got you, brother.
We're carrying on. Guy?
Yes, sir. You had the £75,000 yesterday.
We've seen... Cheers.
I know. We've seen as games play,
that the same amount can appear in the same player's box.
Please, do not show us that £75,000.
Guy, please open your box
after the break. GROANING
APPLAUSE
Welcome back to Deal Or No Deal.
Now, this is possibly the most interesting games in terms
of somebody's plan of attack to try and beat the Banker.
So, what Matt's decided to do is create something new
called wing tennis.
He tossed a coin at the start of the show,
he started with Kev opening his box,
went to his opposite, Mickelle on the other side, and vice versa.
We're now up to Guy, box number 6.
Matt's two biggest amounts is 75 and £10,000.
He's had a run of big reds.
We do not wanna see the £75,000 now.
No. Guy, you know what to do.
Put us out of our misery, please. Yeah.
Matt, you're a big man with a bigger heart
and I truly, truly pray this is a blue for you, brother. Thanks, mate.
Come on!
No. Oh, is it a big, it's a 10,000.
Ahh! It's fine, it's not the 75, but it's still rough.
APPLAUSE
Do you know what the interesting thing is?
Once you go down this avenue, you can't really go back.
No. You've committed to it, so...
PHONE RINGS ..gotta see it through.
That's an early call. Mm.
Hello, Banker.
10,000 gone. 50,000 gone.
He loves the fact that you came here with your tennis tactic.
He said it was a nice idea.
But as the umpire, may he just say something?
Of course.
It is not working.
And if you carry on, waiting for you in your last two boxes,
box 5 and box 18, will be two low blues.
And you already know that he thinks the 1p is inside your box.
He's saying, "Matt, please do not waste your chance of real money".
Matt, the Banker's saying use your head and walk away now
with £2,090.
It's not bad, is it?
Mate, you're often the voice of reason.
Yeah.
And you know what round is next. Yes.
The round where it normally capitulates.
Round four.
WENDY: In your ring, what would you do?
If you had the Banker in your ring, what would you do?
I've realised what I said. Oh, my God!
That's what you said, Wendy, well done. Yeah, yeah.
It would definitely be a no deal!
LAUGHTER Yeah.
I think he would say, "No deal". Yeah.
LAUGHTER
Sorry, Matt.
What we gonna do? Do you know what?
I've won bigger battles. Let's go.
I'm ready for the question. OK.
He's won bigger battles than the Banker,
so £2,090, you're gonna say deal or no deal?
Thanks again.
No deal. No deal!
APPLAUSE
Right.
Three more boxes. Yeah.
Three important boxes.
The game continues. Yes, it does.
Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy. ALL: Oi, oi, oi!
Come on, Ozzy.
Another member of the breakfast club.
Blue for you, mate.
Go on, Ozzy. Thanks, mate.
£3,000. Another red. It's OK, it's OK.
Where are the blues, man? Where are the blues? I know.
APPLAUSE I think that's a nervous clap,
considering you've just taken out another red.
OK, two more boxes. Kev, the newbie.
Now, newbies come in and they're either really good boxes
with low blues, or terrible boxes with high reds.
He's a police officer. He is.
People used to say the boys in blue.
Boys in blue. Please, Kev S, are you going with him? Of course you are.
Yeah, I've got to, it's the game. You've got to, it's your game.
Good luck, Matt. Thank you, man.
Go on, Kev S. Go on, Kev.
Yes! Oh, yes!
Thank you, thank you. £50!
Lovely first box for Kev S!
One more box. Yeah, back over.
Howay, Sarah. It's a weird feeling,
cos you know you're next, and it's like... it's tense.
That's interesting. Imagine if you were Mick, Chantel.
Yeah. It's all when it gets further, it's more tense, isn't it?
Sarah, it will only be more tense for them and for Matt
if you do not reveal the £75,000. Go on!
Penny.
Go on.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
£100! That'll do, that'll do.
Come on, mate. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
Can I just say, let's never forget,
the £75,000 is just one below the jackpot.
Yeah. It's a huge amount of money.
Massive! Massive. Massive. £75,000
could be in your box. PHONE RINGS
Could be.
What's he gonna offer to tempt you out, Matt?
Hello, Banker. Oh, he's just saying straightaway,
it's not in your box. I've never had the 50 or the 75.
75's still there. Who's to say it's not in there?
You are right. He's saying neither of you know what's inside there.
He has a hunch, you have a hunch, but nobody actually knows.
We now reach a bid which you really need to grapple with.
Right. This is real money, Matt.
Yeah.
You talked about that trip with your family.
Yeah. Well, this is holiday money.
Right.
He's willing to buy your box now
for £4,165.
He said, Matt, the £75,000, yes, is there, but not for long.
See, now this is the point where people would come to me
for the advice. They would, exactly.
Why don't I pretend the offer is for me and I ask you for advice?
Let's try. OK.
Matt, phew, this is hard.
LAUGHTER
Hold on, right, mate. What, what do you think I should do?
I need your help, Matt! LAUGHTER
See, I would say play on. Ah, right.
Go for it. WENDY: There's your answer, Matt.
Luke, if we did the swap right now, and you were sat here,
what would you do? The Banker's nervous.
He took his time. He was calculating, he was thinking.
Yeah. I'd carry on.
You tell me when you're ready, Matt. I'm ready. Let's go.
OK.
£4,165. Deal or no deal?
No deal. No deal!
APPLAUSE
Three more boxes, Matt. Right. Wendy, Wendy, Wendy.
Wish you all the best, Matt. Thank you.
You're a lovely bloke.
Wendy, we've seen before, when there's three remaining reds,
we've seen them being taken out, box by box by box.
It's a three-box round. Please do not show us a red.
Ready.
Go. All the best, Matt.
Thank you.
Go on!
GROANING Ooh, you have.
£7,500 gone.
It's still there. It's still there.
APPLAUSE
Go on, penny, penny, penny! Penny, penny, penny!
I've just seen for the first time, in your face, worry.
Yeah, a little bit nervous now. Yeah, £7,500 gone.
Two more boxes.
Kirk. You ready, Matt?
Just rip it, mate. Just go. Top man.
He doesn't wanna mess about, just rip it!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you, mate. Big man.
Good luck. £500 has gone.
Now, what do you do here, because now that would be you.
Do you go to Maz, or do you go to Ellie?
We've got to even it out, haven't we?
If I'm pinging back to nothing, then I'm gonna have to ping back.
Oh, this is... OK. All right. LAUGHTER
Do you know, I didn't consider this when I made all the strategy.
I know, well, I-I totally hear what you're saying,
but in reality, there is a box on that side, isn't there? Yes.
And I know you would normally be there, but if you are going...
Yeah, but it's the visual of it. Oh, I feel sick.
OK. Do you remember you said how you wanted it to end,
how you wanted the last three boxes to end? Yeah.
Stick to what you think you should do next and it will be perfect.
OK. Ellie. Right.
Ellie's had six reds in a row.
Go on, Ellie.
Matt can't look.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, boy!
Thumb twins! That was hard.
50p has gone from the board. Yeah!
That was hard. She's my thumb twin.
We have the same... Yeah, you do, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, the same thing. Do you know something?
That was a very, very tense moment. Yeah.
Well, let's all take a breather
before we hear what the Banker has got to say.
But what is he gonna offer to tempt you out of the game?
There's only one way to find out. Yeah.
Make sure you join us after this break.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
APPLAUSE
Welcome back to Deal Or No Deal.
I'll tell you what, earlier on in the game,
we were very, very, very worried. Yeah.
But now it's becoming very, very, very exciting.
The 1p is still there. Yeah.
But, more importantly, the £75,000 has survived your last round.
PHONE RINGS
Thank goodness you went with your gut.
Yeah. Hello, Banker.
The Banker said, "Earlier, the Crippler said,
" 'The Banker is nervous'."
How's he feeling now?
He said the Banker is never nervous.
The Banker is clear-minded - always.
Especially when the 75,000
is the only amount holding your game together.
Yeah.
And he's telling you again, "In box 5 and 18,
"that you wanna leave to the end, are two blues".
Matt and the Crippler are like Thelma & Louise,
driving to the cliff edge.
A huge plummet is coming.
And this offer is their parachute.
Matt,
he's saying this is your last chance at big money.
£6,630.
Oh, so clever.
Absolutely.
Cos it's always just to tempt you to play on, because he knows.
It's like he never has a day off. He's always thinking.
Mick, you're quite a wise man. Really?
Who told you that? Is he? Mick, this is a big moment for Matt.
What were you thinking about this offer?
It's that carrot there.
Six grand, brilliant, take it with you, enjoy. Yeah.
But what if? And it's just the chance you take, lad,
but if you stick to your system, you never know.
Yeah.
Matt. Hit me.
Do not doubt yourself. Stay the course.
I'm telling you, Matt, after this next round,
decisions will be made by the Banker
that he will not be comfortable with.
Yeah.
The penny's there as well, it's just like, argh!
Matt, before you make your decision, which will you regret most?
Do you know what, I'm still breathing. Mm-hm.
MURMURS OF AGREEMENT
I don't really regret much, so... My man.
Cancer's been beat, COVID's been beat, let's beat him.
Matt the guy!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
£6,630.
Deal or no deal?
Thank you for the very generous offer,
but I know the game you're trying to play. No deal.
Ooh!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
He knows the game the Banker's trying to play!
Two more boxes, Matt.
Let's see if you really do know the game the Banker's trying to play.
No regrets. Let's go, back to here, Maz.
Yeah. Good luck, Matt, I'm gonna miss you so much.
Thank you. Maz, please, please.
Yes!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Come on! Go on, Matt! Whoo!
This guy is brave!
£750 gone!
Paula... 13, I know it's unlucky for some.
Can we have a little blue hair rub? Is that allowed?
You've only done it once.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Paula, Matt's just said it's unlucky for some.
Please, please do not make it unlucky for him.
Do not show us his jackpot of £75,000.
Go on, Paula!
Hopefully it's the penny.
Ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh! Ooh!
£5,000.
APPLAUSE
It weren't blue, but thank you anyway. Thanks.
LAUGHTER
Now the game is on, because you said at the start,
you were here to beat the Banker. Yeah.
I've got the visual that I wanted at the end. You do.
Mine's in the middle, facing the other two.
Yeah. I mean, amazing.
So let's just see what he's got. Do you know what?
If the Banker was right about the last two boxes being blue,
that means that's red. Yeah.
MURMURING
For the first time, we want the Banker to be absolutely spot on.
Don't we?
Yeah. But the other thing is,
we haven't seen the penny come to the table...
No. ..for a long time.
PHONE RINGS
Hello, Banker.
He's saying, yes, he might be right. He might be wrong.
Oh, but it's gonna cost you an awful lot of money to find out.
Matt, he's saying you are brave, clearly. Thank you.
And your amazing story shows that. Thank you.
But this is your 29th show. Yes.
And you've seen countless brave players leave with very little.
This is your biggest offer for quite some distance.
Matt, the Banker is offering you to sell your box right now
and leave with good money,
£15,780.
Mm-mm-mm! Oh, Matt, this is hard.
Oh, mate!
Also, do you know what's in my head?
You said at the very start of the show,
"I've never had the 50,000 and I've never had the 75,000".
Yeah. Matt, do you know what else I find really weird
is that these two are dressed in blue.
LAUGHTER
Matt, one of these boxes has to be a blue as well.
That's the risk.
I'd basically be chucking 16 grand at a...
Do you know what?
Chantel, since she's been here,
three quarters of the boxes she's revealed have been blue.
But three quarters of Mick's boxes have been red.
Yeah, I know, yeah.
Now, talk about taking wing tennis to the end.
Yeah.
Luke.
Come on, you work in finance. Yeah.
Work it out, what would you... You work in finance?
Yeah. Do you?
LAUGHTER I know.
I know, right?
Come on, Luke, this is serious, we need words of wisdom, please.
You've got 33.3% chance, you know?
Right, yeah.
On the flip side of that, you've gotta knock one of 'em out.
But... And if you have the...
..if I'm knocking the 75 out, I'm gonna get like, 6p.
I know! LAUGHTER
So I'd say at this point, we said a number yesterday
and we're over it, so... Yeah.
What was the number he said yesterday?
You can say it now, with an offer like that.
It was 15.
Was it? Yeah.
And I don't want him phoning up, going, "Ha, ha, 6p!"
CHORUS OF AGREEMENT
I'm ready.
Matt,
£15,780.
Deal or no deal?
I have loved this whole experience...
..and I'm going home a winner, regardless of how this plays out.
Deal. Deal!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Right. That's it.
I know. That's it.
Matt, we now play on as you would have.
Yep. Come on, Matt.
So... We now know
we need to find the £75,000. Yep.
Obviously, you'd have had to go to Chantel in your game of wing tennis.
Yeah. Chantel...
Yes. ..if you reveal the £75,000 now,
what a game.
What a guy. You are an amazing guy.
Thank you. I wish you all the best.
Thank you. Have you got it?
Yes! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
I really wanna pick you up but I'm not gonna!
THEY LAUGH
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow! Wow!
Matt! I'm so happy for you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wow! That is unreal.
£75,000 gone.
Oh-ho-ho! LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Oh! Oh!
How did you do that?
Obviously, now, the Banker's gonna play on like you did.
The lowest ever offer the Banker has ever given in this round
has been £2. Well...
I've got a feeling you're gonna beat that.
LAUGHTER
Matt, what a triumph!
Unbelievable. PHONE RINGS
Rightly deserved. Thank you.
Hello, Banker.
Ah!
The offer would have been 6p.
HE LAUGHS
APPLAUSE
Now, he's gonna tell you what's particularly galling.
At the start of the show, he said he thought the penny was in your box.
Yeah. And he still does.
He can be right, I don't care!
LAUGHTER Which means...
he just spent 15 grand on a penny.
Oh, boo-hoo!
LAUGHTER Not an ideal day at work.
Your offer genuinely would have been 6p.
But do you know what he said, Matt, at the end? What's that?
He said, "Well done." Thank you.
It was a good battle.
It was a very good battle.
And I disengaged at the right time. Yes, you did.
Whether you've got the 10p or the penny, either way,
you have slayed the Banker. Yeah.
But let's just find out.
What did you bring to the table, at random, before the show began?
Let's take a look.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That is unreal!
And let's finish the game, please, Mick, open it up.
LUKE: You did it!
There's the 10p.
MATT LAUGHS
Wow!
Matt, let me tell you now, sensational game.
But now, you get to do what you've wanted to do.
Yeah. Take your mum away
and enjoy £15,780!
Well done, mate. Thank you.
Absolutely incredible.
APPLAUSE
What a game, and the penny in his box.
The Banker is going to be fuming.
He has literally spent £15,780 for a 1p box.
And it couldn't happen to a nicer man.
Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you back here on Monday.
See ya! APPLAUSE
