It's Tim's turn to take the walk of wealth today and he does so with box 5. He's originally from Ireland, but now lives in Buckinghamshire. He has a lady in his life - Andrea, and shows pictures of her, along with his nephew - Nathan. He has no financial target, although he'd like to win the big one. He said he's been the daddy of the group, and the others are "absolutely awesome" and "lovely". Tim starts the game by pumping up the audience.
