Ovie's game today.

Noel says when he looked at the cue card before today's show, he started thinking about waiting, and he says collectively, everyone on the wings have waited over 30 years to be on the show.

And it's the big guy, I pray he does justice

Odd that Noel's still not wearing short-sleeved shirts!

Ovie has box 9.

Ovie tells a story of how he needs money, as he lost his job 2 yeas ago and hasn't found work since. He says he lost everything and ended up homeless, and things got very tough, but his family supported him through it. Ovie recognises he's not alone in that situation, and he says he's here today to help build his new life.

He shows a pic of when he got married in Las Vegas, and another pic of his daughter.

Here we go...

It's never a good thing to lose your job and be out of work so long, I should know how that feels!

Wishing Ovie the best of luck!

Round 1

21 - Caroline - £250

6 - Carly - £15,000

10 - Mini - £50,000

19 - Imani - £1,000

22 - Jayne - £20,000

Banker time

Not a good start...

An average start all in all! The big money found so early, leaves the life-changing money vulnerable, but ten blues still available to take out!

The banker says he loved yesterday as Cedelle left at perfectly the wrong time! Noel explains that a funny voice he did to Mini was an impression of a character from The Goons.

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Ovie says

NO DEAL

Only the first break and already there's a huge hole on the right

Noel's really in a complimenting mood today isn't he?!?!

Wait til Haj gets chosen though!

£75,000 going doesn't help though mind...

Round 2

13 - Maria - £100

Noel comments on how Maria and Laura have made an effort to look good, and then we have Dennis.

11 - Laura - £75,000

Noel gets Ovie to call a break but he can't think of anything to say.

OMG... ovie's daughters name...my daughter is having my 2nd grandaughter in sept [my 1st grand-daughter died before she drew a breath last year, unfotunately ] anyway, my daughter likes the name nevaeh..HEAVEN backwards i'd never heard this name til last week !!! i just rang my daughter, she said i'm mad cos i ad goosies head to toe sorry guys, just wanted 2 share that with you...SPOOKY !!

We're back

Last box before the Banker

14 - Harry - £750

Banker time

That'll do for now...should have been one of those seven smaller ones though

The banker thinks Ovie's wonderful, and he loved the fact that he couldn't think of anything to say for the break link. He says this is a very unusual board.

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Ovie says that's a good offer.

Ovie says

NO DEAL

Round 3

Noel gets all the contestants to hold hands and give a big 'WOOP'!
