Deal or No Deal horror as Stephen Mulhern 'forced to sit down' at 'saddest episode ever'

ok.co.uk:

The Deal or No Deal set was filled with tension as host Stephen Mulhern had to "sit down" witnessing contestant Donna endure a heart-wrenching game.

On Tuesday (October 29), the hopeful player, dubbed 'Deadly Donna', seemed on the verge of fortune, knocking out low amounts one by one, leaving just £100 amongst the big cash prizes of £75,000 and £100,000.

With the banker unnerved, Donna rejected a tempting offer over £24,000, only to watch the large sums vanish, her choices dwindling down to £100, £1,000, and £2,000.

Despite the shock, Donna persevered, ultimately pocketing £2,000 after saying no to the banker's final bid of £1,100. Social media buzzed with empathy for Donna who appeared inches away from a substantial win, prompting comments like: "This is the saddest thing I've ever seen." Others chimed in with "Bet she is regretting that no deal now..." and "Donna has just seen her life crumble before her eyes." Hypnotherapist Donna, supported by her sister Jackie in the audience, bravely went for a £24,250 offer on the show.
