Player Wins Five-Figure Sum on ITV, Invites Stephen Mulhern to Wedding
In a recent episode of ITV’s game show Deal or No Deal, contestant Maz surprised viewers by inviting host Stephen Mulhern to her wedding. The episode aired on November 10, during her game intended to help fund her upcoming wedding to her fiancé, Chris.
Invitation During the Game
During her turn on the show, Maz handed Stephen an actual wedding invitation, creating a heartfelt and humorous moment.
“This is for you. A while ago we were talking about weddings, and I said: ‘Why don’t you come?’ You said: ‘If I’m free, I will come.’ So there you go.”
Stephen responded with amusement, noticing that his name was misspelled on the invitation and joked that next time it should read “Stephen” instead of “Stephan.” Despite the small error, he thanked Maz warmly for the thoughtful gesture.
Game Progress and Outcome
Maz’s game began with some difficulty after she opened the box containing £100,000 in the first round, immediately lowering her potential winnings. This led to a modest opening offer from The Banker of £1,035, which she confidently turned down, declaring “no deal.”
As the game advanced, she continued to face ups and downs but managed to recover slightly through careful play. Her determination paid off when The Banker’s final offer climbed to £14,030 — an amount she ultimately accepted, marking a satisfying conclusion to a dramatic round.
