Noel introduces the show in deep burgundy floral creation today, he has also raided the stats machine - are they right today? He informs us the last time the £250,000 was placed on the table was 109 days ago - Debbie 17th June 65 shows ago, he says it's well overdue.

Jo takes the walk of wealth today and has box number 1, she matches Noel with a floral top, although hers in white. Jo has her husband Tim in the audience for support today, we get to see a few family pics.

Noel goes on again about the £250,000 being overdue on the 'pound table' and is convinced it's in play today. The banker says Jo is radiating positivity today and offers £15,250. Jo's husband tells her to ask David W what he thinks as he predicted correctly that Rhona would play yesterday and she did, David thinks it's a terrific offer but Jo is still in a strong position. Jo says NO DEAL.
