This, the penultimate EVER (?) Deal or No Deal and the show is today shown from Longleat safari park, owned by Lord Bath.

Noel, dressed in a rather garish Christmas jumper welcomes us to a Christmas edition of the show.

The are filming in the great hall and all of the box openers are sat around a rather large table enjoying a Christmas dinner. We are introduced to Jed Smith, who is from Harlow in Essex. Jed says his game plan is.. to have no game plan!

Jed takes the great hall walk of wealth.

Jed would like to be a primary school teacher and works part time in a convenience store while studying. Jed says he and his family loves Christmas and shows a pic of a Christmas selfie. We also see his four Nephews.

As we're playing on tour, Jed will get to select his own box, he selects Box 7.

The wings are a bit tight

Longleat Safari Park today.

The Hall looks very nice with a Christmas Theme. Best of luck to Jed today.

SJ brings Box 7 to the pound table. Sarah (or SJ) is one of the house guides, who showed Noel, Liz and the kids around for a Halloween tour a few years ago.

Noel ensures us that all 22 boxes were sealed by the independent adjudicator and is the only person who knows where the money is.

Off we go!

Kayleigh with 9-

£20,000 is revealed with some annoying jingle bells..

Kate with 17-

£10

It seems those bells are going to be a fixed feature of today's and tomorrows game.

Liam with 11-

£35,000

Lauren with 16, who works with one of the oldest gorillas in the UK, who has a television and music throughout the day. (The gorilla, not Lauren).

£15,000

Big gap already on the red side.

Auntie Val with 8, who is a ping pong champion.

£5,000

Jed says that is alright, yet Noel doesn't seem so sure.

Banker Time..

Noel reminds us that The Banker HATES Christmas and right on cue, he calls.

The Banker wishes Team Jed a Merry Christmas. He also said the opening round was rubbish. The Banker seems to be hungover after attending the E.G.O party last night.

BANKER'S OFFER

£5,000

Jed says that is a lovely offer for the board. Jed would like to take his Nephews to Florida.

Jed asks for the question and says NO DEAL.

Break time! Come back for more Deal on Tour!

The Banker said on Twitter that he's feeling evil today.

And the time of the first break could mean yet another in game twist..

<Mark> First break at 8 minutes past </Mark>

Given all of the Christmas themed stuff, I have a funny feeling that a Christmas themed compulsory side game will be played.

If that is case, hopefully the Banker doesn't end up looking in the box again.

Which means another game coming up where the banker could look in the box.

Anyone tried that banana and bacon trifle? It sounds rather RANK!

And here we go with yet another gimmick!

Well we know at least some of the big money will stay late in the game, as otherwise the twist would be edited out.

Part two of the second to last EVER Deal on No Deal.

ROUND 2;

The Banker calls and says he's now in Longleat House. The guys are told to open their Christmas Crackers...

Inside the cracker is a big fake spider.

A poem from The Banker is inside. Noel's cracker contains a chocolate santa with it's head bitten off.

Others contain a mouldy apricot, more poems, chocolate coins, more spiders AND a cryptic message for Dionne...

Dionne goes into a secret room where The Banker tells her whatever Jed DEALS, The Banker will ADD £5,000 to his deal.. Only when Noel says "Baubles" whilst giving an offer.. She will also win £500 for herself if he deals. Got that? Good.

Louise with 10-

£1,000

Another red, but top 4 still in play.

Julie with 3-

£250

Carrie with 2-

£10,000

£3,000
£50,000
£75,000
£100,000
£250,000

Those are the only reds remaining, along with nine blues on the left.

Jed says he has always wanted to be a teacher which he inherits from his Dad.

The Banker calls..

He can't imagine being one of Jed's friends, playing MORE school after school!

Jed is very competitive, especially when playing family board games. His Mum says he cheats!

BANKER'S OFFER

£8,300

Jed thanks The Banker and they all encourage him to play on.

Jed doesn't think he's ready to stop and says NO DEAL.

Banker's Power 5 still there.

ROUND 3;

Harriett with 5-

£50,000

"Oh my goodness me!" exclaims Jed.

Ian with 18-

£750

Danielle with 21-

AFTER THE BREAK!

I think the twist will be used at 8 box.
