Irene's game today.

Noel labels the dream factory, the scream factory! After 5 disaster games out of the last 7!!

Noel tells the contestants to put those bad games behind them, and just concentrate on their own game.

Best of luck Irene! You have my lucky box, Box 1, I think it's going to serve you well!

Irene has box 1 today. Irene is a part-time sales consultant, and considers herself very lucky, as when she was younger she was told she would never walk or have children, but she has done both. Her daughter is in the audience for support today.

She has brought along a gift for both Noel and the banker... Noel calls Gregg out to take the gift to the banker...


Noel asks Irene if she would like him to help identify the source of the strange problem in the studio at the moment! She would, and Noel goes off stage and comes back with a grime reaper outfit for Jean

Here we go...

Hahahaha Jean the Grim Reeper!

That'll do says Irene's daughter... Noel tells the banker that the feeling in the studio is very odd at the moment... He then says that he has nailed the banker's secret agent!! The banker tells Jean that it's lobster tonight for dinner

Irene says

NO DEAL

Well, Jean had better have the £100k. Hopefully in pro... forget that. She had better have the £75k, hopefully in proveout.

Next round

21 - £250,000 Noel tells Stuart that Jean looked daggers at him for having her box

2 - £100,000 I've never known anything like this says Noel, all the ladies seem to be having major setbacks in their games...


Noel calls a break...

Once again, following the pattern of either really strong or really bad boards, it looks like this one is falling into the latter category.

If Jean doesnt have one of the remaining power 5 in her box (in actual gameplay, if in proveout a low blue..) I'm turning over...

Nothing against Irene as I really want her to do well.

We're back and it's viewer competition time...

Today is box 1 containing £5,000

Back to Irene's game...

Hmm!

Noel was inside on that wasn't he? "£5, £10 or £15,000. £5, £10 or £15,000"

Last box before the banker...

This is an extraordinary period in the shows history says Noe... He offers Irene's daughter a chair just as the banker calls, so Noel picks up the phone and tells him to hold on... Irene can here the banker talking to himself!! Noel holds the phone to his microphone, and we can hear him saying "come on irene"!!!

Is that the first time we've heard the banker speak, as opposed to laughing or making other strange noises?
