Claire and Richard Jordan are fast making a name for themselves as Formby's most daring couple.

In the same week the pair bared all for a cheeky charity calendar, Claire appeared before millions of viewers on Channel 4 favourite Deal or No Deal, presented by Noel Edmonds.

Claire, 33, won the heart of the notoriously nasty banker on the gameshow, who doubled her winnings after she dealt at £600, saying she could have 600 for each of her daughters.

"I think he's only done that twice before in the history of the show," Claire said.

"We went to the Grapes on Sunday (October 5) to watch it with some family and friends and while everyone's eyes were fixed to the TV I was hiding behind a post! But the more I watched it I saw they had edited it really well and I thought I came across well.

"Normally nothing fazes me and I don't get nervous about anything, but my vulnerable side did show. I can't explain the intensity of the emotions."

Claire followed in the gameshow footsteps of Co-op Bank worker Richard, 30, who appeared on BBC's The Weakest Link several years ago, facing the wrath of Anne Robinson to make it to the final two.

Claire said daughters Lucy, eight, and Holly, two, were excited to see mum on TV, but were less impressed at the couple's nude modelling for the North West Air Ambulance's Bare in the Air charity calendar.

"Lucy is a bit embarrassed and everyone else thinks we are a bit crazy," Claire said.

"I saw an advert for volunteers a while ago and after watching Calendar Girls I thought I want to do that. Richard was a bit anxious at first but he was up for it."

The pair appear as Mr and Mrs November, along with 26 members of the public and air ambulance staff who stripped off for the calendar.

The couple, of Priesthouse Lane, have also made the news headlines in the past when Richard proposed to Claire on a dry ski-slope in Milton Keynes, complete with champagne and roses.

After spending her gameshow winning on a holiday with the children, Claire is now on the lookout for their next challenge.
