The TV show is simply a game: It is broadcasted on ITV1 and ITVX and involves participants competing against the well-known Banker. The goal is to win a substantial amount of money that could change their life.

This is one of the most amazing productions ever, and being selected as the new host is a privilege! I'm eagerly anticipating beginning my work.

Stephen, who is a TV host, is well recognized for being the face of In For A Penny, also hosting Catchphrase, and is an essential member of the team behind Saturday Night Takeaway at ITV.

The TV show "Deal or No Deal" was popular for over ten years, but towards the end of its run, it started to lose viewership.

During its prime in 2006, the show was able to captivate and entice over three million viewers. However, towards the conclusion of its broadcast, it had a tendency to only bring in an audience of about 300,000 per episode.

Noel hosted approximately 3,000 episodes of the program starting in 2005. On the show, participants can earn cash prizes by choosing one of 22 red boxes containing varying amounts.

He distributed a total of £40 million in prize money, but only a minority of eight participants managed to win the £250,000 grand prize.

Noel stated in a print interview before it was dismissed in 2016 that he wasn't sure if it would be captured again. He declared that if it was indeed the end, he had a remarkable ten years.

Earlier this month, Stephen disclosed that Noel had expressed his best wishes for Stephen to assume the presenting responsibility on Deal Or No Deal.

The magician shared that he had recently done a show at a exclusive event where a gentleman unexpectedly appeared on the stage wearing an attire resembling that of Gandalf from the famous movie series, Lord of the Rings.

Reported by the Mirror, Stephen expressed his concern and anxiety as he did not know the intentions of the person who approached him with a large stick. The unknown person requested a conversation, but used the phrase "Deal or No Deal" instead.

In this blog section, Stephen shared that he received good wishes and advice from Noel Edmonds, a previous host on the game show. Noel Edmonds, who is 74 years old, was kind enough to support Stephen in his new role.

As he removed his mask, I was shocked to discover that it was actually Noel Edmonds! I couldn't believe it. It turned out that he was acquainted with the person hosting the party.

Stephen shared that Noel offered him his best wishes on his new position and provided some guidance on how to host the game show.

He stated that Noel had informed him that when the show was first introduced to the UK, the initial plan was to focus on the financial aspect and the packaging, similar to how it is done in America. However, Noel objected and emphasized that the show should revolve around the people. This reasoning resonated with him.

You can catch Deal Or No Deal airing on ITV1 and ITVX every weekday starting at 4pm.
