Richie's game today, in the second of the special love week shows.

It's a year since the banker proved he had no heart in Richard's game when he made some horrible psychological offers involving Andrew who won a blue... will the banker prove he does actually have a heart today? Will Noel mention Richard's game? Probably not.

Noel runs through the rules of the love week - the player chooses a player to hang the heart necklace on, and when that player's box is opened, the banker will make an offer straight after...

Not too bad it's his game today even though his last three games he has had three reds, yesterday £15,000, Saturday £20,000 and then £100,000.

Last time he had box 17, it was on Friday, £100,000 in there.

Richie has box 17.

Richie says he's nervous and Noel says it's good His name is Richard Puddle and Noel has a joke about being called Dick Puddle! His girlfriend Lizzie is in the audience, and they met at a party in the 6th form. He is a student studying motorsports... He has done racing all his life, starting with go-kart racing when he was 8. Noel says with a name like "Puddle", he must be good in the wet. Richie says he's been in the local paper several times and the headline is always "Puddle makes a splash"...

Here we go.

Richie chooses who to give the heart to and he chooses the person rather than the box... Noel asks if Lizzie should worry and Richie says yes He gives it to Chris with box 19!!

Richie's first 5 numbers are motor-sport related, and the rest are random

16 -Barry - £50,000

Richie says "Never mind"...

11 - Katherine - £250,000

Lizzie says £100k is still there

2 - Ruth - £50

21 - Sarah - £3,000

Richie says it's alright...

10 - Debbie - £15,000

Time for the banker...

Noel wants more positivity... the banker is doing car impressions down the phone He also said that round was the pits and he had 2 blowouts!!

Silence greets that one

20 - Jill - £20,000

Noel says this is destructive so far... but Richie says £100k is still there

12 - Kate - Noel says if this is £100k, this is an extraordinary game, and he calls a break, reminding us how the heart Richie gave to Chris could still change everything...

Do you really need to post something like this at the start of every single game? None of it has any relevance whatsoever...

We're back...

Noel says he feels like Murray Walker as if he made a comment about a driver, the driver would crash

12 - Kate - £35,000

Noel says it's unbelievable..

Banker time...

Oh deary me Can Richie have the Siobhan replica?

The banker is heard laughing hysterically down the phone...

Banker time...

Noel says with a bit of positivity, the next offer will be £6

Noel wonders if the banker missed the all-blue round as he was laughing so much - the banker says he did miss it as he was looking for coins in the back of his sofa for the next offer!

Jesus. Bad looking board and only reminds me of Geordie. Except his board was 15 times better. I reckon with that board a Geordie-Richard-esque blue win, as is the style in February.

Oh, and we had Richard on this day last year, now another one

By the way I posted this at the end of Round 2...
