Deal or No Deal crowned another £250,000 winner today.
Tegen Roberts, the show's fourth winner, won the jackpot after declining a £77,000 offer to go through to the final two boxes of £20,000 and £250,000.
Roberts's win was particularly emotional as she was last year diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and went through six months' chemotherapy prior to joining the show. She was given the all-clear shortly before her stint on the Channel 4 gameshow.
Upon winning the money, she said: "Being on Deal or No Deal was an amazing experience and I met a fantastic group of people.
"I can hardly remember anything from my game as it was all such a blur! I haven't spent much money yet as I wanted to wait until people found out what I'd won. But I have bought myself a car!"
Deal or No Deal's last winner was in May.
