Deal Or No Deal fans in tears as player tells Stephen Mulhern hes going to die
Brad tells Stephen he doesn't have long to live
Deal Or No Deal fans were left in tears during a recent episode of the revived ITV gameshow as player Brad explained he didn’t have long to live. It came as host Stephen Mulhern asked the contestant what he would do if he won the money he was after.
“Well, last year things changed quite a lot for me, really – I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease,” he replied.
As he got choked up, he admitted: “I never cry when I talk about it and I’m crying now.”
Brad continued: “So the prognosis isn’t really that great. So I made a bucket list, so go and see different places and stuff around the world.”
Brad explained: “And [I want to] give my family, my partner, some money.”

“So when you say ‘bucket list’, are you saying you’re given a certain timeframe?” Stephen asked.
“Yeah, inevitably that’s how it goes really,” Brad explained, adding: “Don’t get me wrong, Stephen Hawking lived 55 years.
“But the average is like a few years, you know, so.”
“When you get told that… I cannot imagine it,” Stephen confessed.
