Stephen Mulhern has taken over hosting duties from Noel Edmonds who gave the magician his blessing to present the show.
And while die-hard fans have been enjoying the first week of brand new episodes, one contestant left the stunned.
Taking part on Friday’s instalment of Deal or No Deal was 81-year-old Sylvia.
While speaking to Stephen, she stunned the presenter and viewers when she revealed she has tragically lost two partners.
“I’m a widow, I’ve been a widow for 20 years to Alec, who was absolutely the best,” she said.
Sylvia continued to explain: “I have two sons. Six years after Alec passed I met another guy called Paul on the internet.
“He had a boat in France so that was a bit of an attraction.”
“We had 12 years together and it was absolute bliss. We didn’t live together, we each had our own home but we travelled the world together but sadly he passed.”
Sylvia then quipped: “I don’t have a good record with men really, they all pass!”
Fans at home took to social media to comment on the mum-of-two’s admission.
One posted: “Sylvia’s got some stories/bodies under the patio.”
A second wrote: “Sylvia has some big brass balls to keep putting herself out there.”
“F*** meeting her, she’s jinxed,” said a third.
While a fourth said: “I love Sylvia. I hope she walks away with the jackpot.”
Deal or No Deal airs weekdays from 4pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
