Contestant Dean took a massive gamble on Saturday’s episode of Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, which saw him walk away from the BBC gameshow with a jackpot win of £82,000.
The primary school teacher had been first up from the contestant wheel on to the studio floor to play for a potentially hefty cash sum with the help of the episode’s celebrity experts.
Saturday’s panel featured Olympian Greg Rutherford, Coronation Street’s Nigel Havers, comedian and podcaster Chris Ramsey, TV presenter AJ Odudu, the Rev Kate Bottley, dating expert Paul C Brunson and Made in Chelsea’s Sophie Hermann.
After a strong start, Dean got kicked off when the wheel landed on Greg Rutherford, who he’d shut down in red prior to the question, which meant he had to make way for another contestant by the rules of the game.
