Tina's game today.

A few more secrets about the players today...a motoring theme among Rich having a motorhome, and Sam survived driving a car into a lamppost...and Leon drove a tank into a farmhouse! He apologises to the farmer, esp seeing as he ran over a Porsche!

I hope it's an Epic Win, unlike yesterday

Tina brings box 13 to the table.

A mobile dog groomer...or a beautician as Tina claims! Her friend Louise is in the audience, which starts Noel off chuckling as he wonders how SHE got into the business!

She has a sore throat after singing so much last night - cue Noel to tell everyone off as they're here to play a game not sing songs!

Noel tries to question why cleaning a dog is important, by using his own labrador as an example!

Tina has brought a Rocking Robin for Christmas for the Banker, cue Greg to send it to him! Photos include her pet dog...

Here we go...

13 is her birthday! Let's hope it brings her good luck!

First round...

Stan isn't into dogs but his family are...and hopes it's not going to be a RUFF game for Tina!

Box 17 - Stan - £50

Lauren next...she's had the £250,000 last two games...and she's got box 22!

Box 22 - Lauren - £35,000

Box 10 - Ellen - £5,000

Harry next; he says the best part of his experience is seeing people win money, as he goes home early from the partying...but Carrie calls him a liar!

Box 5 - Harry - 10p

Butch next, who's ALSO feeling hoarse!

Box 20 - Butch - £5

Apparently the players drank the pub dry last night, hence all the sore throats!

The Banker is pleased as he's got his first Christmas present...and it's going to his dogs!

The Banker's offer is in two parts...a bottle of vodka...and

Banker's offer:

£6,100

Tina says NO DEAL

Bottle of vodka - Deal!

So much for the hat-trick!

A pretty okay start there

Next round...

Box 7 - Leon - £3,000

All biggies for Lyn so far, who's next!

Box 1 - Lyn - £1 Not today!

Noel asks Tina what her shopping list is...but she'll only tell him during the break incase it affects her game!

50p or 1p and we'll be in a great position

Something to consider during the breaks today...

What does everyone make of the choice of new Countdown presenter for the next series..Gilette Soccer Saturday's very own Jeff Stelling!

Jeff Stelling is an absolute legend. I might start watching it again when he takes over from the bore that is Des O'Connor.

Don't watch Countdown so no comment

We're back!

Last box before the Banker...Lucy's next, and she claims the last silly thing she did was think the difference between full cream and semi-skimmed is if cows were on diets or not!

Box 16 - Lucy - £20,000

Time for the next offer...

Oooh, I think that's alright
