Deal or No Deal host Stephen Mulhern dejected as player goes home with just £100
Ush was determined to keep goingDeal or No Deal was back on our screens once again today (November 14) and this time it was contestant Ush playing to win big.
Yet again, the huge £100k box left the game early on. But that didn’t stop Ush from playing on and hoping for the best.
Ush told host Stephen Mulhern that she knew she needed to have “hope” to help get her through. And she even explained that her determined mindset was how she got through some tough periods of her life.
But unfortunately for Ush, she didn’t manage to take a huge sum home, which left host Stephen upset for her.
Did Ush win big on Deal or No Deal today?
Immediately, with her very first box, Ush lost the £5k on Deal or No Deal today. But thankfully it was only a “low red”.
Things seemed to be going in her favour as she then got rid of a few blues before a big hit came in the £75k box.
Despite a good offer from The Banker, Ush was adamant that she could do better. But immediately after her second Banker offer, she said goodbye to the £100k.
Again, things seemed to be going her way, getting rid of the 1p and 10p. But then, she opened the £50k.
It was here, Ush decided to switch tactics and start using the good luck numbers her daughter had given her, which she was keeping until the end. However, this didn’t work out well as she lost the £25k.
With £7,500 the last big number left, Ush declined The Banker’s offer of £1,220. And this turned out to be the wrong move, as immediately after, she opened the red box.
In the end, Ush walked away with her £100 box. But host Stephen was quite sad for her. He reminded her: “Remember, you got the one thing you never thought you could, a family,” before giving her a hug.
Contestant Ush reveals ‘journey’ to have kids
As soon as she was selected to play Deal or No Deal today, Ush brought a few little gifts to the seat with her. And she described them as her “lucky items”.
When Stephen asked her what they were, Ush explained: “I have got my lucky little star with me. I have been on a journey to have my children and basically this star signifies that there is hope out there.”
Ush also brought along a letter that her daughter had penned for her when she first put her name in for the show.
Stephen read the letter out, which revealed her daughter had picked out “some numbers” for her to use, and that she “can’t wait” for her to open her own box.
Ush revealed that she was planning on keeping her daughter’s number’s until the end. However, she changed her tactics during the game and started going for those specific numbers.
When Stephen asked her about her kids, Ush got a bit emotional, which led Stephen to ask why.
Ush then opened up about her “journey” to have kids with her husband.
She told him: “At 23, I lost all of my fallopian tubes to endometriosis. I was told I would never have children. But if someone tells me I can’t do something then I’m going to go do it.
“I went on a journey with IVF. Luckily, I got pregnant with my daughter first time. Then, I got pregnant with my son. I have two amazing children and both are IVF. I’m just very lucky which is why I have my star with me. Without hope, there is nothing.”
