Louise was unlucky, just losing out on £4000, but luckily Lauren won £6000.

It was then Ron's turn to add to the prize pot.

But during the introductions with host Bradley Walsh, Ron shared that he'd been retired for 20 years.

Bradley said: "That's a long time. How old are you?"

Ron revealed he is 84 and was turning 85 the following day.

Bradley joked: "Is your real name Benjamin Button? You look fantastic."

Chaser Darragh Ennis added: "We're going to have to get rid of you Ron.

"It wouldn't be fair for you to be that good looking and rich."

Ron's true age also took viewers by surprise.

Andrea tweeted: "Ron is turning 85?! Lookin' good!"

Steven said: "Never 85 maybe 65."

Cheryl wrote: "85????? My god, he looks good."

Amy said: "Gotta say he does look good for 85."

Alex tweeted: "Ron looks AMAZING for 84."

And Tracie said: "Did Ron say he was 84?! He looks far too young to be 84!!"
