Noel surprised Betty last week at her social club in Kingswinford, whisking her to the Dream Factory to play for £250K!
She had a coach load of box openers at hand including past contestants to share their wisdom. A crowd had gathered in Kingswinford to watch Betty as she received an opening offer of £750. The Pilgrims booed so The Banker dropped it further to £500!
Betty soldiered on declining offers of £7K and £10K. The ‘death box’ delivered £75K and £250K was wiped from the board. Betty was against the clock but managed to squeeze in enough time to give Candi the 1p kiss.
Betty was left with £250 and £20K, The Banker offered £6K. A frantic couple of minutes ensued, which saw Betty decline the offer and then SWAP her box for box five, which sadly contained £250. Betty plans to use the £250 to celebrate her 60 years of marriage with a slap up meal.

The Banker lost his swag during Cowboys and Indian’s week. Suzanne stole £250,000 off the birthday boy becoming our third Quarter of a Millionaire! She came back to the Dream Factory to let us know how she is getting on in this exclusive update.
Suzanne came to the Dream Factory with low expectations:
“When I came to Deal or No Deal I came with low expectations, my target was £5,000. I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would have won £250,000 and on top of that a holiday to Florida!”
“Before I came on Deal, I found out through my P45 that I earned just over £9,500 in 14 months after tax. When it came to ‘five box’ £35,000 would have been four years work with no expenses so to even imagine that I won £250,000 is just absolutely crazy! 25 years worth of wages.”
When asked about her Deal or No Deal experience Suzanne had this to say:
“My experience on Deal or No Deal was life changing because of the fortunate position that I was in for my game. Being on Deal or No Deal was the most amazing experience of my life so far”
Becoming Deal or No Deal’s third Quarter of a Millionaire has completely changed Suzanne’s life:
“Deal or No Deal completely changed my life due to the sum of money that I won. It has allowed me opportunities I didn’t think were possible. My ultimate dream was to move back to Ireland. I am now back at home with family and friends. It has been amazing being back with everybody.”
It didn’t only change Suzanne’s life, finance Simon had a part to play in her game and has been richly awarded:
“Simon and I are setting up our very own businesses and we have booked our wedding for 2012.”

The Banker is just a big kid at heart and for his birthday party this year he’s playing Cowboys and Indians, complete with fancy dress and a few dastardly twists thrown into the mix. So we decided to put a few questions to Old Money Bags himself as we approach The Banker’s Birthday week:
Would you say you’re more of a Cowboy or an Indian at heart?
If I had a heart I’d tell you. As it is, next question.
As ever Noel will oversee proceedings, spending half the week as a sheriff and the other as chief. Which Noel did you prefer?
They were both equally disagreeable and as ever, badly dressed.
The players will get a chance to test their skill or put faith in lady luck for an extra special gift if they are still in live play at five box. Could you tell us a little bit more about the twists we can expect this year?
Yes I could. I could tell you. I think you mean “would”. Next time ask me if I would tell you. The answer will be no.
Friday the 13th is thrown into the mix this week, is that normally a luck day for you?
I got married on Friday the 13th. So, no.
Could you give us some more information about the fancy dress you have picked for this year?
You seem fascinated by my capabilities. Why not assume I could do anything and instead ask me if I choose to? The answer will be no.
What presents are you hoping for?
1p winners galore.
Has Noel ever brought you a birthday gift?
Yes, this year and every year he gives me the thrill of watching a television legend effortlessly making amazing television. It’s a gift he gives me every day… I’m joking of course. No.
How many birthday cards do you normally receive?
Four. One from my mother, one from my butler, one from my dogs and one from me. I make my own.
How many candles will be on your cake this year?
22, naturally.
Will you be sharing any Birthday fun with your thousands of followers on Twitter?
Oh, I have something in store for them Oh yes.. .Mwahahahaha!!
What is your highlight of the year so far?
The ones in Noel’s hair.
What is you lowlight of the year so far?
Noel’s hair.
Join in the celebrations at the Dream Factory as The Banker throws a week-long party to celebrate his birthday starting on Monday 9th May Channel 4, at 4pm.
