Deal or No Deal Fans Blast Host Stephen Mulhern for Overstepping in Contestant's Love Life

Host Presses for Engagement Announcement

Fans of the popular game show Deal or No Deal have expressed their anger towards host Stephen Mulhern after he pressed a contestant for an engagement announcement during a recent episode. The contestant, Kyra, had brought her boyfriend along for support as she took her turn at the red box.

Contestant Reveals Long-Term Relationship

As Kyra introduced herself, she shared that she and her boyfriend have been in a relationship for five years. This prompted Stephen to quickly ask if they were engaged. However, Kyra held up her bare hand and stated that it had not happened yet.

Host Puts Contestant's Boyfriend on the Spot

Visibly shocked, Stephen proceeded to ask Kyra's boyfriend why he hadn't proposed yet. Kyra, feeling put on the spot, replied, "ask him." Her boyfriend nervously laughed and said that a proposal might be "coming soon."

Fans Criticize Host's Involvement in Love Life

The romantic conversation between Kyra, Stephen, and her boyfriend did not sit well with fans, who took to social media to express their disapproval. One viewer cautioned against forcing someone into an engagement, while another angrily typed, "STOP FORCING AN ENGAGEMENT ON THE POOR F**KING GUY."

Mixed Reactions From Viewers

However, not all viewers were against the idea of a proposal on the show. One fan commented, "A proposal on Deal or No Deal, I bloody well hope so." Kyra, despite appearing slightly annoyed, explained that she was happy with her boyfriend and even let him pick out her outfit for the day, hoping it would bring her luck.

Unsuccessful Strategy and Final Decision

Unfortunately, Kyra's luck did not improve as she made her way through the game. She based her box choices on her family's birthdays and important dates, but ended up eliminating two significant boxes in the first ten minutes. Eventually, she was left with two boxes containing £4,000 and £1. The Banker offered her £1,800, and following her boyfriend's advice, Kyra decided to take the deal and go home with the cash.
