I just thought some of the fans would like to know Mags, I always wondered who the banker was in Deal or no Deal and when I looked it up I came across this, maybe it's the same fella.
"THE mysterious banker on Noel Edmond's' Channel 4 show Deal Or No Deal has been revealed as a former Coronation Street actor.
Glenn Hugill, who played policeman Alan Mc Kenna in the soap, is the hidden voice on the end of the phone, according to the Daily Mirror.
Viewers can neither see nor hear him as he offers contestants cash to quit the game.
Programme bosses have refused to reveal his identity.
But inside infor: "Glenn makes his deals with help from two other executives. A computer works out what to offer but he makes the final decision.
"It's a vital role - he makes the contestants agonise over decisions, and that's what makes it so popular."
Hugill 41 appeared in Coronation Street in 1996/97 as the policeman boyfriend of hairdresser Fiona Middleton, played by Angela Griffin.
The Darlington born actor and presenter is credited as a series producer on Deal Or No Deal"
