THE iconic Flying Scotsman has invited Deal or No Deal aboard as the TV game show goes on the road — or, in this case, the tracks.

In a special edition of the show host Noel Edmonds, the infamous phone, 22 red boxes and The Banker hop on board the beloved steam engine.

Viewers will see contestant Jason Southwell go full steam ahead for his game on the nation’s favourite locomotive, playing for a jackpot of £250,000 inside the historic carriage as the train makes its way from Bolton Street station, in Bury, along the East Lancashire Railway.

The episode, which airs on Monday, December 12, is part of a series of Deal or No Deal On Tour games this winter.

The Channel 4 show will be also be coming from the top of Blackpool Tower, aboard a Boeing 737, and inside the Eden Project, among others.

Noel, who has hosted almost 3,000 episodes of the show, said: “These shows are some of the most ambitious ever attempted on television - the sky has quite literally been the limit for this incredibly special series. It has been an absolute joy and honour to meet Deal’s loyal fans whilst out on the road at this hugely exciting time and I can’t wait for our loyal audience to see them on screen.”

The Flying Scotsman, which was retired from service in 1963, was restored for York’s National Railway Museum by Bury-based Riley and Son Ltd in a 10-year project that cost £4.2 million. Thousands of train enthusiasts flocked to Bury last January to share in a moment of rail history when the locomotive returned to the tracks.

Earlier this year, Channel 4 announced that Deal Or No Deal was being cancelled, with this special one-off tour acting as a farewell.
