Noel welcomes us again to the dream factory and tells us of a new twist in the viewer's competition where now 2 people can win.
It’s Tess’ turn to take the walk of wealth today, and she has box 19. Noel says he has been looking forward to this, and Tess says Mr Banker here I come!! Tess tells Noel she is shaking, as she is nervous now... She has her husband in the audience for support, and we hear how they met when her husband went to the Philippines to meet a pen friend, but didn't get on with her and then met Tess, who made him laugh and the rest as they say, is history. Tess tells Noel about her gambling on fruit machines, and she says she has come onto the show to win loads of money to buy anti-wrinkle cream! Noel says you don't need it after looking at the information on the card, and seeing your age. Tess asks loads of support from the audience and says if she wins the £250,000, she will give them £50 each
