Yahoo News Angry fans all say same thing about Corrie star's Deal or No Deal appearance
Fans are all saying the same thing about tonight's (May 25) episode of Deal or No Deal as it once again features a Corrie star in a celeb special.
Tonight's episode features actor Simon Gregson, best known for his role of Steve McDonald on Coronation Street. The episode was a repeat of an earlier showing that was aired in January.
ITV viewers were quick to spot the repeated episode and vented their frustrations on social media. Many criticised ITV's choice to put repeats on air on a Saturday evening.
One viewer wrote on X: "I swear every time #Dealornodeal is on ITV it's always repeating the one with Steve McDonald from Corrie :/" Another added: "How many times can ITV repeat the celeb episode of Deal or No Deal with Steve from Corrie!!!!"
A third added: "why show the Simon Gregson deal or no deal yet again, pure lazy scheduling". A fourth added: "No not the Simon Gregson deal or no deal. How many times have @ITV shown this."
A fifth said: "This show is so boring #itv think they should remind you that you are watching yet another repeat on @itv & it's Saturday Night!"
The episode in question showed the 49-year-old actor make some incredibly risky moves to win money for a small charity. In the very last round Simon accepted the banker's offer of £15,300, finally putting his gamble to rest.
After throwing in the towel, he said: "I'm risking money for the charity, when you start getting into numbers like that, you've got to do the sensible thing." However, it was later revealed that Simon's own box was worth £50,000, meaning he potentially could have won a whole lot more if he just kept playing in the final round.
Despite the shocking revelation, Simon conceded that it's for a small charity and believed it wasn't a good idea to continue gambling off the cash.
