OXFORD: Comedian Jimmy Carr won £750 for Helen and Douglas House Hospice in a celebrity episode of television show Deal or No Deal.

Mr Carr, who has taken part in the East Oxford hospice’s fundraiser Childish Things for a number of years, turned down £14,000 to try to win more after having two boxes left in the game – one of which contained £35,000.

But the attempt failed and the comic ended up with just £750.
