A comedian from Birkenhead surprised Anne Hegerty tonight as he racked up the most cash of the evening.
Ian said he was a "plastic Scouser" as he was born and bred in Birkenhead, but now lived in Liverpool.
Ian said he was retired, but loved to do stand-up comedy, on tonight's repeat episode.
Speaking to Bradley about what he liked to do in his spare time Ian said: "I love performing comedy in theatres, I write a lot and look after my granddaughter Daisy who is seven."
