Merry Christmas everyone

Noel says that last years Christmas Star shows were the most watched shows on Channel 4 over Christmas

Today's Christmas Star is Marianne Wong who has dedicated her life to raising funds for an orphanage in Africa.

Noel introduces the video to tell us all about Marianne.

This is a really strong story...there are a lot of people out there who would love to help those less fortunate out...but there are very few people who actually go out there and do something about it!

And there are even fewer people that help in more than one case of charity work...so here's hoping Marianne has a fantastic game today!

Marianne takes her place at the pound table, and she says she is not afraid of the Banker, and is ready to him

Marianne has a gift for Noel of a carved Lion keyring, and an elephant for the Banker, they were made for fundraising for her charity

Marianne chooses box 8 today, as the number is a lucky number.

She has her mother's ring for luck as well...

Noel calls a break before we start the game.

We're back and it's time to start the game.
