LONG before she made her entrance into the Big Brother house, new contestant Kerry had another memorable telly appearance.<\/p>\n
Sixteen years ago, the NHS<\/span> manager, 40, from Essex tried her luck on Deal Or No Deal winning \u00a335,000 in the process.<\/p>\n Her 2007 episode can be chalked down as a classic, not only because of the banter Kerry had with host Noel Edmonds, but because the studio suffered a power<\/span> cut mid game.<\/p>\n As Kerry expertly said her piece to camera ahead of the break, the studio where the Channel 4 show was being recorded was plunged into darkness prompting gasps from the audience.<\/p>\n Noel said: "Well, here's a first for us. We've obviously had a power problem here in the dream factory. <\/p>\n "Kerry, I'm so sorry. We have a procedure which we will now follow because we don't know how long this is going to be."<\/p>\n The boxes in front of the contestants were then put into locked cages to protect the integrity of the game.<\/p>\n When the show returned after the break, the lights were back on and Noel could be seen unpacking the cage, before saying "this is most unusual".<\/p>\n The audience was informed the cause of the outage was someone cutting through a cable next<\/span> door.<\/p>\n It was then business<\/span> as usual as Kerry rode her luck to a sizeable offer.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n However, it was far from an easy decision as, at the time, she could have potentially had one of the two largest numbers in her box: \u00a3100k or \u00a3250k.<\/p>\n After much deliberation, she took the money<\/span> and was delighted to discover she would have only won \u00a3500 had she have kept her box and played on.<\/p>\n In the intervening years, Kerry has not lost any of her excitability, if last night's Big Brother arrival is anything to go by.<\/p>\n She shouted loudly as she made her way to the house's front door in her mobility scooter.<\/p>\n Explaining her reason for taking part, she said: "I love the programme. It is, for me, the ultimate reality TV show ever. <\/p>\n "I've got multiple sclerosis and so the reason why I never applied before is because I always saw those whacking great big stairs to get into the house. <\/p>\n "It just felt a little bit unachievable because for the first three years of my illness I was in a wheelchair. <\/p>\n "When I saw it was coming back and searching for real people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year."<\/p>\n
