FORMER students of retired teachers Nagib 'Mo' Ghafar and his wife Betty will have to wait until next week to discover if they have scooped a massive cash windfall.

The game show addict couple, who live in Norton Fitzwarren, competed in Channel 4's The £100,000 Drop.

They have been gagged to prevent them discussing the outcome by the producers of the programme, which was recorded seven months ago.

But all will be revealed when it is aired next Tuesday (June 26) at 4pm.

Mo, aged 65, who taught maths at Kingsmead School, Wiveliscombe, said: "We had a great game - it's worth watching.

"But did we come home with some money? You'll have to find out on Tuesday."

Mo and Betty, 68, who was a teacher at Priorswood Primary School, Taunton, were surprised to pass an audition for the show, hosted by Davina McCall, "because of our age" and the contest was filmed in Manchester.

"They put us up in a hotel," said Mo.

"We met the other contestants before the show and Davina was there. She was wonderful - really lovely.

"The show was tense and exciting, but there were some weird questions. I kept thinking, 'How could you know that?' We just had to guess.

"You get asked sets of questions to try to get through to the next round. You're lucky to win anything. I've calculated that one in five people come away with any money.

"But we enjoyed it so much."

The couple have competed in several TV game shows over the years, being flown to South Africa to take part in The Getaway Car, Argentina for Total Wipeout and Scandinavia for Coach Trip.

They won £26,000 on Deal or No Deal, which they spent on a mobility car for Betty's mother, and have also been on Ninja Warrior.

Mo has also set his heart on appearing on Release the Hounds and would love to hear from anyone interested in joining his team.
