Recent Deal or No Deal contestant Rochelle Brown has set up a GoFundMe page to help a fellow terminally ill teammate complete his bucket list after he left the show with just £5.

Brad captured viewers' hearts when he explained to new host Stephen Mulhern he has motor neurone disease (MND).

The 29-year-old from Bridgnorth, Shropshire, got emotional as he told Stephen he wanted to appear on the ITV show to win some money so he can begin to tick things off his bucket list, as he's been told he could die soon.

After a promising start, Brad had more red boxes left than blue ones but the game didn’t plan out as he hoped and he left the show after only winning a small amount of money.

Rochelle from Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire said she decided to create the fundraising page because she wants "to help him make memories while he can."

She added: "Brad touched all of our hearts at Deal and we want to make sure he can tick off his bucket list.

"It broke mine and all the other contestants' hearts when he went away with £5. He just wants to make memories while he can and we want to help facilitate that.

"He is the most beautiful soul and he deserves everything."

At one point in the game, the banker called with a tempting offer of £12,500, but Brad still had the chance of winning £75,000.

He sought advice from his mum, who encouraged him to continue playing due to his lucky streak.

In the end, he took out the £75,000 and £5,000 boxes in the final round, leaving him with just £10 and £5 available to win.

He told host Stephen: "This is my life. I've always had such bad luck. Nothing changes, I should have expected this."

Rochelle went on to say: "I clicked with Brad as soon as we met at the audition and I was absolutely over the moon when I saw him at the hotel.

"He is the life and soul of the party and when he walked away with a fiver we were all devastated.

"I needed to do something for him because he deserves the world.



"He is the friend I never knew I needed and he is always there for me.

"We are meeting up over Christmas.

"We all love him so much and we hope this fundraiser will go towards ticking off some of his bucket list."

Brad said: "I've just finished watching the episode back, I’m crying so much at it.

"I’ve genuinely never met a better bunch of people in my life.

"I will never be able to repay them for what they’ve done for me."

What is MND?

Motor neurone disease (MND) is an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nerves. It causes weakness that gets worse over time, explains the NHS.

It adds: "There's no cure for MND, but there are treatments to help reduce the impact it has on a person's daily life. Some people live with the condition for many years.

"MND can significantly shorten life expectancy and, unfortunately, eventually leads to death."

Deal or No Deal recently returned to our TV screens as ITV has rebooted the much-loved game show.

Stephen replaced I’m A Celebrity campmate Noel Edmonds who presented the series from 2005 until 2016 on Channel 4.
