Although you'd imagine Winning Streak can be pretty exciting on its own, people were particularly caught up with last night's show for a different reason.

One of the contestants on last night's show - Gerry Larkin from Dundalk - bore a striking resemblance to Bryan Cranston, perhaps best known for his award-winning performance as science teacher-turned-drug kingpin Walter White.

 

 

 

As it turns out, Gerry was on Winning Streak not to raise money for a new RV, but was in fact playing for his wife, Marie, who suffers from dementia and his children and grandchildren in the audience.

Gerry managed to come away with €42,000 by the end of the night - and he didn't even have to break the law to do it.
