Luck-of-the-draw game show Deal or No Deal has been a staple of Channel 4 since 2005 – but it will come to an end later this year.
The Noel Edmonds-fronted series is being packed away into a big red sealed box following one last tour of the UK.
Channel 4’s Chief Creative Officer, Jay Hunt said: “I remember watching Deal or No Deal launch and watching it grow to become a hit that captivated audiences for over a decade.
“A lot of the credit for that must go to Noel and his exceptional presenting.
“As the studio shows ends, I’m delighted he’ll now be taking Deal or No Deal to the audience.”
The tour will be heading to ‘iconic landmarks right across the UK’, with the final episodes due to air in the autumn.
It seems Edmonds won’t be at a loose end when the show finishes – with four new Channel 4 projects in the works.

One is a new game show provisionally titled Cheap Cheap Cheap, which will see contestants asked to pick the cheapest of three items in order to win a cash prize.
Also coming up is Noel Edmonds’ Sell or Swap, in which studio contestants will bid live on items ‘ranging from expensive antiques to a second hand speed boat or a never used wedding dress’.
