ITV's Deal or No Deal viewers were united in their reaction as Oti and Motsi Mabuse made history by becoming the first duo to challenge the Banker. The Strictly Come Dancing stars graced the game show on Sunday (December 15) evening, hoping to bag a hefty sum for their chosen charity.
Presenter Stephen Mulhern opened the show by highlighting that it was the first time he had ever welcomed two players simultaneously to take on the iconic game. Oti and Motsi were supported in the studio by their closest family and friends, who stood behind a red box, including Radio 1's Dean McCullough.
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to speculate about the filming date, especially since both Oti and Dean featured in the recent series of ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, reports the Express. One viewer took to X, previously known as Twitter, to comment: "I wonder how long ago this was filmed before Oti went into the jungle #DealOrNoDeal.".
Another chimed in: "So Dean and Oti Knew Each Other Before The Jungle? When Was This Recorded? #DealOrNoDeal." A third echoed the sentiment: "Oh god not Dean again.". Also present in the studio were Motsi's fellow Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood, Dancing On Ice's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, ice skater Sylvain Longchambon, and Bad Education's Layton Williams.
