Erica's game today.

Noel says the sum of money the player wins doesn't always tell the whole story of the game, and he says that applies to Jim's game yesterday. Noel says Howie got his £200 at last, because he kissed Steve, and Noel gives Steve a bunch of flowers.

Had the £75k yesterday and day before £50k. Hopefully a mega spanking today.

Erica has box 21.

Erica is a retired health care assistant, and a self-confessed massive fan of DoND and is very keen on gardening and cooking. Noel speaks to her about the experience of being a contestant, and she says she's nervous but it's really good. Erica has a pair of lucky glasses with her, and she shows us some pics of her garden, and a pic of her with her husband on their 40th wedding anniversary. Erica explains that he wooed her with wolf whistles among other things! Erica has her daughter in the audience today.

Banker time

Noel says Erica has green fingers, and the banker says flowers wilt when he walks by them and green fields turn grey when he walks through them.

NO SWAP

The banker says Marley looks like he's had a heavy night, but Marley denies having one.

Banker's offer:

£6,000

Erica says

NO DEAL

Round 3

The banker phones and says he was planning to throw someone out, and just as Erica said "no deal", there was a very wobbly camera shot. Noel gets the cameraman who did it to own up, and he confiscates his camera and chucks him out of the studio. Noel then gives the camera to Erica and asks her to film her own show.

22 - Martin - £5

Noel then takes charge of the camera and does some good close-up shots.

Banker time

The banker says Erica looked very good on NoelCam.

Banker's offer:

Noel asks Erica what else she'd like to spend the money on, and suggests some things she could buy for her garden, including an elaborate pond.

Erica says

NO DEAL

Erica says

NO DEAL
