Deal or No Deal is to return to television screens later this year, with the revival of the show being filmed from dock10 in MediaCity UK, Salford.

ITV have announced that Deal or No Deal will be returning for the first time since 2016 and that Stephen Mulhern will present the new version of the show.

Deal or No Deal was originally presented by Noel Edmonds on Channel 4 for 11 years, with the gameshow seeing contestants bid to win up to a quarter of a million pounds by selecting and eliminating boxes, each of which held a monetary value ranging from 1p to £250,000.

Furthermore, contestants would receive numerous offers from ‘the banker’ based off of their performance within the game.

The returning show will be filmed from MediaCity UK in Salford, with the recording of the new series taking place in dock10.

Produced by Banijay UK’s Remarkable Entertainment, filming for the show is expected to take place in July, with applications currently open for the new series.
