Grant Denyer's Shocking Deal or No Deal Confession: 'I Never Thought I'd Say This'
Grant Denyer, the beloved host of Deal or No Deal Australia and recent Gold Logie winner, has dropped a bombshell revelation about the popular game show. In a candid interview with news.com.au’s From the Newsroom podcast, Denyer shared a behind-the-scenes moment that left even him surprised to admit.
The interview, promoting the show’s new prime-time timeslot of 7pm weeknights on Channel 10, offered a glimpse into the unpredictable world of live television. When asked if filming had ever been halted due to unforeseen circumstances, Denyer’s response was unexpectedly revealing. He confessed to a situation so unusual, he never imagined he’d have to discuss it publicly.
“It’s a bit of a strange one, actually,” Denyer began, hinting at the story to come. “There have been a few hiccups along the way, as you’d expect with a live show, but there was this one time… we had to stop filming because of a rogue kangaroo.”
Yes, you read that right. A kangaroo. Apparently, the marsupial hopped onto the set during a recording and caused quite the commotion. “It was just wandering around, completely oblivious to the fact that we were trying to film a television show,” Denyer chuckled. “Security tried to coax it away, but it was having none of it. We literally had to pause production while they gently guided it back into the bush.”
The incident highlights the challenges of filming a live show in an outdoor setting. While the story provides a lighthearted anecdote, it also underscores the dedication of the production crew to ensure the safety of everyone involved – both human and wildlife!
“You just never know what’s going to happen,” Denyer admitted. “That’s what makes live television so exciting. You’ve got to be prepared for anything.”
Deal or No Deal Australia’s new timeslot at 7pm weeknights on Channel 10 promises more thrilling moments and unexpected twists. Tune in to see if any more wildlife decides to join the fun!
