The competition show saw Sue watch over proceedings as 13 pairs of Brits had to use their entrepreneurial spirit to exactly double a certain amount of money in a set time frame.
If they were unable to do so, they faced a brutal elimination round which saw them axed from the game.
The contest continued week-by-week with the amount of money increasing as time went on.
Eventually, those that made the final, had to convert £10,000 into £20,000 in the space of a month.
