As she started to pick the boxes she wanted to open, host Stephen Mulhern had a chat with some of her fellow contestants before they opened them.

Heading over to Brad, Stephen was floored when he told him: “I sleep with a goat”.

When the 46-year-old presenter asked him to explain how that had come about, Brad explained that the goat was going to be put to sleep, so he and his partner decided to save it.

Now, the goat has become a proper pet to the couple, and even sleeps in bed with them.

They weren’t the only contestant to have surprising animals in the house, as another revealed they keep chickens in their property.

Deal or No Deal viewers were equally surprised by the unexpected bed companion and further animal revelations.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote alongside a gif of a goat sticking its tongue out: “Sleeps with a goat.”

Another added: “Goats and chickens in the house – are they all hilly billies?…”

Karen went on to have a bad start to the game, losing a lot of red boxes in quick succession.

She took a deal on £3,200 as it would be enough to fulfil her dream of going to the Northern Lights with her mum, and in the end, her box was only worth £1,000 meaning she had ultimately made the right decision.
