DEAL OR NO DEAL VIEWER DONATES £10,000 TO CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
Tags: Deal Or No Deal

An anonymous Deal Or No Deal viewer has donated an incredible £10,000 to a children’s hospital after being moved by inspirational contestant Olga Orlandini-Field’s unlucky game.

Fundraiser Olga, 32 had hoped to use her winnings to add to the £30,000 she has already raised for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Williams Syndrome Foundation after she lost her son Gianluca to the condition in 2005, but a disastrous game meant she took home just £5.

The donor was so moved by her story that they telephoned Birmingham Children’s Hospital and offered the money, stipulating that Olga must choose how the money would be spent. It was decided that the money would be used to supply two new portable heart machines for the children’s unit at a cost of £5,000 each.

A Deal Or No Deal spokesman commented “Olga’s story touched everyone at Deal or No Deal, making her unlucky game all the more heartbreaking, so we could not be more delighted that a kind-hearted viewer has made such a generous and valuable donation.”

Olga is continuing to set up fundraising events to raise money for the hospital, including a Summer charity ball in the West Midlands area.

Thats great news, i really liked Olga when she was on the show and was heartbroken when she only got £5 so im chuffed that somebody has donated £10k to that charity!

It just goes to show how generous viewers are cause i bet a lot of people wouldnt give these people a second thought after there games so its nice to see people actually watching there shows, hearing there stories and donating that kind of money to them!

I wonder why Noel didn't mention that at the start of Tommii's game when he mentioned the anonymous donations made to Harry and Steve's causes.

How did Noel do that as the show's weren't shown to the public at the time of recording!

Deal or No Deal windfall for Isleworth woman

A martial arts fanatic from Isleworth has won £16,000 on hit TV show Deal or No Deal.

Carol Scarrott, 48, from Worton Road, gathered with family and friends to watch herself beat the banker after taking 24 days off from her job as manager of the West Middlesex Hospital's sexual health clinic to take part.

"It was so brilliant," she told the Chronicle after winning last Thursday. "I am a big fan of the show. I didn't have any tactics or aims. I just thought I went with nothing so if I come back with something that's great.

"I made so many fantastic friends on the show and Noel really puts you at ease.

"There is quite a strict selection process to get on to the show, you just have a one in 30,000 chance of getting on, they seem to pick the people with interesting stories."

Carol has a black belt in the martial art of Ji Jitzu and met her husband George, a martial arts teacher, when training at his Brentford club, Kiai Yamabushi Ryu.

On the couple's wedding day George snapped a concrete block in half while it lay on Carol's stomach.

As of yet the high-kicking couple are not sure what they want to spend the money on, but urge anyone who would like to take up martial arts to contact them on georgescarrott@hotmail.com.
