LONGLEAT'S historic Great hall plays host to contestants hoping to win big money on the festive edition of gameshow Deal or no Deal, due to be aired on December 22.

The Channel 4 show stopped in Wiltshire on its whistle stop tour of iconic locations across the UK, to film a show airing in December.

In this very special show host Noel Edmonds, the infamous phone, 22 red boxes and The Banker himself set up inside Longleat House, bringing the show out of the studio and physically to the audience playing in the Great Hall for a jackpot of £250,000.

Viewers will see Jed Smith take on the Banker over a festive banquet.

Ahead of his game Jed said: "I remember visiting Longleat as a child and return with my friends and family to play Deal Or No Deal in the Great Hall.

"I want to make my game as enjoyable as possible and not be distracted by anything other than having fun."

Throughout Deal or No Deal On Tour, games were be played at the top of Blackpool Tower, on board the Flying Scotsman, inside the Eden Project, underground in Wookey Hole caves, in the foyer of wondrous Kelvingrove, Art Museum in Glasgow and on a flight at 37,000 feet over the skies of Britain.

Noel Edmonds says “These shows are some of the most ambitious ever attempted on television - the sky has quite literally been the limit for this incredibly special series.

"It has been an absolute joy and honour to meet Deal’s loyal fans whilst out on the road at this hugely exciting time and I can’t wait for our loyal audience to see them on screen.”

Deal or no Deal has enjoyed a run of almost 3,000 episodes and more than a decade on UK screens.
