'I was a broke, single mum but I applied to Deal Or No Deal 40 times and it totally changed my life'
After being determined to stand out wearing a nice dress and carrying a helmet after her dad gave her a lift to the studio on his motorbike, Catherine was selected for the show.
While none of the contestants hooked up during her filming, Catherine reckons it was likely they did on other shows. Catherine does have a sneaky suspicion that her hotel room was bugged after confessing to her friend Becky that she would be happy to walk away with £21,000 - the exact figure she was offered by the banker.
She said: “They say you don’t get the money for 30 days, but it came through quicker than that. “On the drive back home to Swindon I was like ‘I’ll buy a Mercedes, I’ll buy this, I’ll buy that’, so waiting for the money is a good thing as it stops any impulse purchases.
