Stephen Mulhern was back on our TV screens once more, for another nail-biting instalment of the ITV hit series. The TV presenter halted the show after things took an emotional turn.
Deal Or No Deal host Stephen Mulhern had to pause the show in a heart-warming moment tonight when an audience member was visibly moved to tears by a contestant’s fortune.
Tonight’s gripping episode of Deal Or No Deal brought host Stephen Mulhern back to our screens as he led another tension-filled game, where hopeful contestants vie for a substantial cash prize.
In the latest nail-biting instalment of ITV’s hit series, midwife Paisley took her chances against the notorious banker, aiming to win big and leave with life-changing money.
Starting on a high, Paisley seemed to be in luck when initially only low-value amounts like 1p were revealed, but the mood shifted dramatically once the top £100,000 prize got eliminated from play early.

Despite the setback, Paisley held her nerve, turning down a number of lower offers from the banker. With five boxes left – 10p, 50p, £10, £50,000, and £75,000 – she was tempted by the significant sum of £16,750, reports the Daily Star.
Paisley accepted with glee, exclaiming: “Thank you very much Mr Banker… because I’m going to be rich! Deal!” She shared that she intended to take her parents on a cruise with her winnings.
The scene was so poignant it drew tears from one viewer in the studio, leading Stephen to briefly halt proceedings to acknowledge the touching display, commenting: “This is absolutely joyous.”

Stephen then addressed Paisley directly, remarking: “Sorry but can I just say, I’ve never seen this on anyone’s game and I hope you don’t mind me pointing you out but this gentleman in the back crying on your behalf. It’s amazing.”
Paisley was comforted by the man’s offer of a hug, prompting an emotional moment as they embraced, to the crowd’s heartfelt response. During this touching scene, an inconvenient call from ‘the banker’ is interrupted, leading Stephen to point out: “Oh no the banker is not going to be happy.”

The host relayed the banker’s snarky comment: “He just told me that you’re his least favourite contestant and I wonder why?” The atmosphere lightened with laughter when Stephen added that Paisley had made a savvy choice in taking an earlier deal.
He gleefully announced: “Paisley this gets better and better for you because you’re off on a cruise, making a dream come ‘true’ for you and your family. This wouldn’t even buy you a dingy because your offer at this point would be £3.”
Deal Or No Deal continues on weekdays at 4pm on ITV and ITV X.
