Deal or No Deal viewers praise 'brilliant game' after player Mick 'beat the banker'
What a result!Deal or No Deal returned to ITV this afternoon (November 7), and viewers were happy to see today’s player have a successful game.
Friday’s show marked host Stephen Mulhern’s 100th episode, where Mick was selected to play against The Banker.
In an emotional confession, he revealed he had been having a hard time recently after his partner, TJ, had been in and out of the hospital with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
According to the NHS, COPD is the “name for a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties.”
Mick admitted his boyfriend was unable to travel to support him. However, he decided not to have anyone else champion him in the studio, joking: “I’d rather go down on my own.”
Player Mick wins £13.6k on Deal or No Deal
Despite continuous offers from The Banker that seemed fair throughout, Mick decided to play the game until nearly the very end.
When he was offered £13,600 with just five boxes left, he was torn about what to do after the two remaining red boxes had £50k and £75k in them.
That said, after giving it a thought, he took the money and agreed to the deal.
Immediately after, he found the £75k box. However, the £50k prize was yet to be found when just two boxes remained.
The Banker then told him he would have doubled his offer. However, when it came down to opening his box, number 14, he found out he had the 1p the whole time.
Mick was overcome with emotion by his victory, and so were viewers at home.
‘What a lovely game’
“Well done Mick. He beat the banker, he dealt when it was right for him,” one user wrote on X.
“Mick was a fantastic player and there aren’t many players that you feel a super positive energy watching, but there was something special about today’s game. I’m glad Mick won a very lovely £13,600!” another person shared.
“Mick has played a brilliant game with 1p in his box,” a third remarked.
“Congratulations to Mick, who is now £13,600 richer!” a fourth said.
“What a lovely game, Mick just said the numbers and got on with it. Be more like Mick,” a fifth viewer expressed.
