“The contestants were a fantastic bunch facing the banker and our new batch of players need to hold their nerve if they want to walk away with the huge jackpot!”

Meanwhile, Stephen revealed that hosting the reboot had at times been challenging.

He told The Sun: “It’s possibly the hardest job but the most rewarding job because you’ve got highs, you’ve got lows, you’ve got people that are there to win money, but over that hour you learn a lot about that one person.

“You just never know how the game is going to go and no one can predict it, because whatever box you pick at random is the one you’re going to have to go with and you’re going to have to stick with.”

Deal Or No Deal starts from Monday, 28 October at 4PM on ITV1 and ITVX and continues weekdays.

In every episode, a contestant faces 22 sealed boxes, each holding a different amount of money. Without knowing what each box contains, the participant eliminates them one after the other, revealing the amounts inside.

The highest reward is £100,000, while the least desirable outcome is joining the 1p club.

Following the main series, two celebrity specials have aired, the first in December where It’s the second celeb special after Michael Owen took on the banker in a Christmas special.

Earlier this year, Coronation Street legend Simon Gregson went head-to-head with the infamous Banker, playing for money for his chosen charity.
