The iconic red boxes of Deal or No Deal witnessed one of the most astonishing victories in the show's history, as contestant Morning Star from Blackpool pulled off a near-impossible 49-point win.
Host Stephen Mulhern and the infamous Banker were left utterly stunned as the 22-year-old care worker defied overwhelming odds. Her strategic brilliance and unwavering nerve culminated in a final box reveal that secured a monumental cash prize, leaving the entire studio in a state of euphoric disbelief.
A Rollercoaster of Emotions
From the very beginning, Morning Star's game was a masterclass in composure. While other players might have crumbled under the pressure of high-value blue boxes disappearing early, she remained steadfast. Her journey was an emotional rollercoaster, with each round building tension to almost unbearable levels.
The real drama unfolded in the final moments. With just two boxes remaining—one containing a life-changing sum and the other a mere penny—the Banker made a final, desperate offer to try and save his money. Morning Star, with the support of her fellow contestants, confidently uttered the two words every viewer loves to hear: "No Deal!"
A Victory for the Ages
The reveal was pure television magic. As she opened the final box to confirm her victory, the studio erupted into cheers and tears. Stephen Mulhern declared it one of the most incredible wins he had ever seen, a sentiment echoed by legions of fans on social media shortly after the episode aired.
This record-breaking performance on the revised points-based version of the show has instantly become part of Deal or No Deal folklore. It wasn't just a win; it was a demonstration of sheer guts and determination that will be talked about for years to come.
