Deal Or No Deal fans were left in utter shock as contestant Dori made a bold decision to reject an eye-watering offer from the Banker.

The American, who moved to Liverpool from Kentucky to pursue a degree, was the first contestant to take on the Banker on Tuesday’s episode.

However, her choices throughout the game divided fans, with some applauding her bravery and others questioning her strategy.

The self-confessed Beatles fanatic brought a unique flair to the game by basing her number selections on facts and songs related to the iconic 60s band. 

When she ran out of Beatles-related numbers to pick, she sought advice from box holder Brian, who suggested 64 which held the 1p inside of his box. 

Contestants on the show choose a case at random, each containing a hidden cash amount.
