Their demands came after the 32-year-old from York won 83k on his Chase round.
Furthermore, Barclay then carried the load in the final Chase, defeating Shaun and bagging an amazing £90,000 – the second-highest haul for a team in series history.

Shaun offered a high offer of 83k and despite the advice of his teammates, Barclay went high and stormed his Chase to bag the cash.
With a prize pot of £90,000 and three in the team, they managed to score 18.
However, host Bradley Walsh slammed them saying the time they took in between questions was “excruciating”.
But, after pushing back Shaun twice in the final Chase, they managed to bag the cash with Barclay answering most of the questions.
