ITV GMB's Ben Shephard's touching gesture to emotional Deal or No Deal contestant

Ben Shephard has made a heartwarming gesture to the Deal or No Deal contestant who captured the nation’s hearts after winning just £5 on the show.

Brad Wale appeared on the Stephen Mulhern-fronted game show last week, when he opened up on being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease - a life-limiting condition that affects the brain and nerves.

His story struck a chord with viewers, particularly after he walked away from the ITV show with just £5. After the disappointment, a fellow Deal or No Deal contestant set up an online fundraiser for Brad - which has raised more than £100,000, the show’s jackpot prize.

And Brad has now spoken about the experience on Good Morning Britain with hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid. During the emotional appearance, Brad revealed he had a bucket list of things he wants to do in his life, before jokingly adding: "I've got one thing on my list, I've always wanted a Ben Shephard blanket." He laughed and went on: "I'm obsessed with Ben Shephard, I'm going to be honest.
