Yes. Hopefully now he will get the £35k.

After a break in filming of 30mins they resume filming as Simon's wife has been taken care of by the paramedics and is OK now.

Simon says that something similar happened at his wedding, and Noel points to the gameboard where we see Simon's wife in the green room looking OK

Noel asks Simon the question now about the Banker's Gamble

Simon says

DEAL

He takes it, I hope this pays off...

Noel says that he might need a sit down and the paramedics now!

The Banker calls and tells Noel to order more paramedics as he is offering the SWAP

Simon says

SWAP

A swap as well...my mum's birthday number as well!

Noel swaps the boxes and Simon now has box 15 and reveals £35,000

Thank God for that. Be sad to nearly kill your wife and go home with 10p.

YES YES YES!!!

My Mum's Birthday Number Prevails!

The whole stuido erupts as Noel reveals that

Aaron with box 21 has the 10p

I felt REALLY uneasy watching the end of that. And the Swap did nothing to make it any better.

A surely well-deserved OPW, this might be the Game of The Month!

That was sooooo exciting, I nearly exploded when Noel revealed 35,0000.....all the best Simon and enjoy your money.x

Very strange what happened with Simon's wife there. Simon seemed to cope well though in the end, and did well to get the £35,000. I didn't think he'd take the gamble after he'd dealt such a low offer, and he also previously said he didn't want to go home with 10p, but he took it in the end and the courage payed off! Well played Simon!!

The links to the news articles about this show which were mentioned elsewhere on the forum are HERE (The Sun), HERE (Daily Mail) and HERE (Hartlepool Mail).

The video in The Sun article looks like it was specially provided and edited by Endemol, as the 2 remaining values on the board are not visible, presumably to not spoil the ending.

I must say, the show was long overdue for a big OPW and we got it, bring on The Summer Week, I think were for in a few classic moments next week

Yes I saw that video a few days ago

Must admit though that I think that Endemol only supplied the vid to The Sun in order to advertise the show, as people would've tuned in to see what happened after Noel had asked the "banker's gamble" question, and when they saw Simon win £35k, they may be encouraged to watch the show in the future.

Still seems odd to me that they supplied the vid though, as they seem very strict with confidentiality of the shows from what I've read on here in the past

Very lucky show for both Endemol and Simon.

I see you got that wrong....again.

Well thankfully, that was avoided by a Banker's Gamble and a Swap, so yes I got that old-school theory wrong again

I thought there was no way on earth Simon would have taken that gamble AND swapped given his wife's condition, but finally an EPIC win!!

(Though if he hadn't taken it it would have been ammo for people who say spouse shouldn't go on the show!!!).
