But she couldn't resist The Beast's £30k offer in the head to head.

Unfortunately, it proved to be one step too far and Mark Labbett eliminated her from the show.

Jonathan was also successful, adding a solid £6,000 to the prize pot.

However, Katie was less fortunate, only managing £2,000 in the cash builder.

The Beast generously offered her £1,000 to take the low offer, which she accepted and secured.

But if the team wanted to win more than £7,000, their hopes rested on the last contestant Will.

The actor stunned fans at home as he won £9,000 in the cash builder.

But viewers were surprised when he didn't choose The Beast's high offer of £53,000.

One wrote: "Should’ve gone high. 44k light in the pot."

Mark said: "This guy must go high."

And Jayne added: "Achieves 9 in the cash builder but doesn't choose the high offer??"
