Today's celebrity player is LOUIS WALSH.

We get to see a video of Louis talking about being on Deal or No Deal.

This should be an interesting game...

hopefully a much better outcome that the previous celebrity game.

Noel talks about the people on the wings, including Jedward, who call Noel "Noel Edmonson"! He says there are also boy band members, TV presenters and radio presenters on the wings.

Louis chooses a ball at random and it's number 8. This is his box.

Here we go...

Round 1

18 - Wagner - £35,000

Wagner says he wants to marry one of Louis' sisters who are also on the wings!

21 - Lisa - £100

7 - Gary - £250

19 - Sara-Lee - £5,000

9 - Evelyn - £5

Banker time

Or the last 2 civilian ones.

This is going at a staggering pace. Thoroughly enjoyable, even though I enjoy the greater conversation the 60-minute slot allows.

Loving the Jedward tweets, I've seen the Banker retweeting @planetjedward before and no wonder with comments like that.

The banker says he tweets Jedward, and we get to see some tweets that they've sent to the banker! He talks about how Wagner's fingers slipped on the seal, which is surprising as he pulls so often.

Banker's offer:

£11,000

Louis says

NO DEAL

Noel calls a break...

We're back

Round 2

Louis says his charity is the ISPCC, which fosters better relationships between parents and children while promoting better understanding of children's needs.

4 - Linda - £100,000

20 - Kate Thornton - £10,000

Lisa says she'd go for box 3 now.

3 - Liam - £10

Banker time

The banker says he thinks he and Wagner could do the same thing with their names that John and Edward did with their names, and Noel asks if he means "Bagner"!

Banker's offer:

£4,000

Loving the "you remind me of a young Judi Dench" comment at Kate Thornton!

Louis says

NO DEAL

Round 3

11 - Glenda - £20,000

2 - Eoin - 1p

1 - Edward - £15,000

Banker time

Noel asks Johnny, who says Louis should carry on. Keith Duffy agrees and says Louis can still win £250k for his charity.

Louis says

NO DEAL

Scary 8-box board.

Round 4

Louis goes for Caroline, and the banker rings up and says the stress has got to her as she just said "*beep*", so he's looking forward to her taking out the £250k!

10 - Caroline - £500

13 - Keith Duffy - £75,000

16 - Brian - 10p

Banker time

Oh, wow - we're absolutely FLYING here...

And it's good to see Kate Thornton, too. You'd actually forget she hosted the X Factor, given the way Dermot O'Leary has made that role his own...




The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children?

Why, that charity does pretty much the same things that the NSPCC does... except it does them in Ireland.

The banker says Louis saw Jimmy Carr's show where Jimmy won a blue, as he gambled £14,000 at the end of his game.

Banker's offer:

£14,000
