Nick's game today.

Noel says there are some fantastic characters and enthusiastic pilgrims at the moment. He says we heard some unusual noises yesterday, when Mike proposed to his partner and the audience got all soppy!

Had the £75,000 yesterday.

Nick has box 12.

Nick says his surname is Ukranian because of his family roots, and he's a joiner from Blackpool. Noel speaks to him about the types of trees he works with, but he says it's all just wood to him! Noel talks about Nick's t-shirts with the plunging necklines and he says he finds it a bit off-putting! Nick has an earring with him which originally belonged to his mum, and we get to see a photo of his mum with her cat. Nick's sister is in the audience today.

Here we go...

Round 1

20 - Jackie - £750

Noel says Donna likes having babies as she likes the smell of babies' heads!

17 - Lynn - £500

21 - newbie Carly - 50p

10 - James - £100

2 - Jess - £10

Banker time

Noel says that was a fantastic start, especially compared to yesterday. The banker says Nick is the most beautiful player ever, and he says he can see what the cold studio is doing to Nick's nipples!

Banker's offer:

£14,000

Oh dear... oh dear... oh dear...

We know that the majority of all-blue opening rounds these days turn out to be false dawns...

...so let's hope this one isn't.

Nick says

NO DEAL


Noel calls a break...

Without meaning to sound like I've got something against gays (and I most certainly don't), I still don't see why Nick is "the most beautiful player ever"...

We're back

Round 2

3 - Zoe - 1p

1 - Kirsty - £5

Noel says the current record is 9 blues in a row, and Nick's had 7.

4 - Imani - £1,000

Banker time

Seven blues in a row. And then one that may as well be one. Second best 14-box board ever, am I right?

The banker says he's feeling faint at the sight of Nick and the board, and he says Nick panicked the other day because he couldn't find his hair-care products!

Banker's offer:

£21,000

Nick says he didn't think the 2nd offer would be that high.

Nick says

NO DEAL

The opening offer meant the Banker had no choice but to go over the £20k mark. Risking a 14-box Deal here.

I'd play on, but I suspect that it wouldn't take much more for me to go.

Round 3

8 - Sidney - £50

Nick says he had a dream recently that he won £250k and his sister had the same dream. He says they then got a toy from a fast food restaurant and it looked like the DoND phone.

7 - Kingsley - £5,000

Noel calls a break...

Well, well, well, well...


10p

£1




£250



£3,000

£10,000
£15,000
£20,000
£35,000
£50,000
£75,000
£100,000
£250,000

But then - dare I say this - even boards like this one do not guarantee that big money will be won...

I would recommend, though, that the jokes about Nick's, um, way of life are put to one side for the time being.

We're back

Last box before the Banker

14 - Gabbie - £35,000

Banker time

The banker says the £35k going didn't make him feel much better. He talks about the dreams and the toy from the fast-food restaurant, and he says he's not lovin' it at all.

Banker's offer:

£30,000 + LARGE FRIES AND A SHAKE

Didn't expect it to be that high. Hopefully he will have a Rich feeling inside him.......

Nick's sister tells him to look at all the reds, and says he can afford to hit a couple of reds. Mathew says he's likely to hit 2 reds and a blue now, and Imani says they all believe in him.

Nick says

NO DEAL

Wow. £30,000!

But it's third offer, I'd be tempted to carry on.
