A Croydon shop owner has appeared on a LIVE episode of Deal or No Deal.

Before the game, viewers saw presenter Noel Edmonds visit Vivian Hansen, owner of Croydon Bargain Centre.

Dressed as a gas man, Edmonds visited Mr Hansen at his shop in Lower Addiscombe Road, and invited him to join him in Bristol to play the game.

Mr Hansen, who has previously applied to be on the show, jumped at the chance telling Edmonds: "You have made my day."

Mr Hansen who has had his shop for 15 years, chose box 13 and brought his two daughters, wife and son-in-law to help open some of the boxes during his game.

There was also a live video link to other family members and friends, who were watching the game unfold from the shop which sells audio and video equipment.

Despite being offered £10,000 by the anonymous banker, Mr Hansen repeatedly told Edmonds "No Deal."

In the final round he opened his box to reveal winnings of ten pence.

He told Edmonds: "I turned down the offers because I thought I had the £100,000, but I have no regrets."
