Deal Or No Deal viewers sunk their claws into an ‘unwatchable’ episode which played out on our screens on Monday.

Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 32, appeared in the studio to take part in the celebrity version of the much-loved ITV show. 

The episode – which originally aired in December last year – saw the I’m A Celebrity winner try and bag himself some money for charity. 

But those watching at home all took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the casting. 

One said: ‘There may be an obvious answer but how can Deal or No Deal have a Celebrity Special without having any celebrities in it.’

‘Celebrity???? #dealornodeal.’

‘You clearly have a very different definition of the words ‘TV legend’ than the rest of us. Unless it means the most annoying nothing on TV. Sam Thompson the great attention seeker.’

‘They moved #TippingPoint back an hour to put another s**** celebrity (no idea) #DealorNoDeal on instead.’

Deal Or No Deal first hit our screens in 2004. 

It aired 12 original series and two revival series. 

A total of 3,152 instalments have been aired. 

The show made its debut on Channel 4 between 2005 and 2016. 

Then in 2023 it began broadcasting on ITV1 instead.  

The backlash comes after Sam shared insight into how he navigates his autism diagnosis.

The star was diagnosed with the condition, alongside attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 2023. 

On Instagram, he shared a clip of two Sams walking down the street, one to represent himself and the other his ADHD. 

He wrote: ‘You got diagnosed with ADHD in your late twenties but something still doesn’t add up..’,

The light-hearted sketch then sees Sam wearing an inflatable dinosaur costume emerge from around the corner, wearing a beaming smile.  

Sam penned in his caption: ‘Knew there was more to the story’

In 2024, Sam became the official ambᴀssador of ADHD UK after he was diagnosed at the age of 30.

Deal or No Deal airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
