Deal or No Deal viewers were left gobsmacked when paralegal Nay Nay took home one of the biggest wins in the ITV show’s history during Monday afternoon’s episode

Deal or No Deal fans have hailed Monday’s episode as one of the best in history after one particular contestant took home the highest prize so far.

Today’s episode saw paralegal Nay Nay take part in the ITV gameshow, hosted by Stephen Mulhern. The optimistic contestant announced at the start of the episode that she was certain that her box contained a large amount of money, saying: “What’s meant to be will be.”

Throughout the episode, Nay Nay made her way through all of the blue boxes, leaving her with just larger amounts left to be open. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” Stephen told her after being left with amounts like £20,000, £35,000 and £100,000.

Nay Nay brought her grandmother to the show, who tried to convince her to take the banker’s offers. She was offered large sums by the banker, with Stephen saying: “He’s saying this is a remarkable game. Do not get caught up in the moment – listen to your grandma and she will know the correct answer now,” Stephen said while speaking to the banker. “He’s willing to buy your box now for £51,700.”

However, Nay Nay decided to stay true to her own box and turned down the offer. Soon, she was left with just two boxes of £100,000 and £75,000 – with the banker giving her the highest offer in Deal or No Deal history on ITV. Stephen told her: “This is the highest offer we have ever had so full credit to you – £82,700,” Stephen said. “Deal or no deal?” To which Nay Nay said: “Thank you Mr. Banker, but it’s no deal.”

Left with just her own box, Nay Nay opened it to find £75,000 – the highest amount won on Deal or No Deal so far. Viewers took to social media to give their thoughts on the episode, with one writing: “Whatever happens, she will go down in history as the person to get this far with those two boxes #DealOrNoDeal.”

Another said: “What an episode!! This show needs a BAFTA after that #DealOrNoDeal.” Meanwhile, one other viewer wrote: “Well done to this young lady, she is a joy #DealorNoDeal.”
