But who is going to reign supreme over UK snooker this year?

Martin Lewis is a regular guest on Lorraine, and this morning he told viewers about the latest great deals to be had in the run up to Christmas.
Firstly, a great deal on your savings from the State Bank of India. It pays a whopping 4.5%, but that’s because it’s a 5 year fixed account. However on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of you depositing the money, you are allowed to withdraw your cash, albeit with an interest penalty for doing so. You can only get this deal today as it ends tomorrow, so if you want to take Martin Lewis’ advice and take up this offer, click here.
If you want easy access to your money and don’t want to be locked in to a fixed term, Martin Lewis recommends the Nationwide MySave Online Plus. This pays 2.99% as long as you don’t withdraw your cash more than once in a year, in which case the interest rate drops for a month. You can sign up for the Nationwide MySave Online Plus account here.
If you want true easy access with no penalties at all, the best rate you can get is from the Post Office. Martin Lewis revealed that their best interest rate was 2.90%, the Post Office Online Saver. You can apply for a Post Office Online Saver account here.
The next Martin Lewis Lorraine deal was a free personalised photo book. It is a great Christmas present idea and comes from a brand new website called All Say Cheese. Simply upload your photos and they will send you your free personalised photo book at no cost. All they take from you is your name and address. Get your free personalised photo book from AllSayCheese here.
Next up were some great beauty deals. Martin Lewis said that if you go to Space.NK and use the discount code ‘glamslam’ (either in a Space NK store or online here) you can get 20% off all of their beauty products. For up to 50% off the Benefit range, go via the website halfpriceperfume.co.uk.
Finally, a Paris Family Daytrip for just £9.50. This offer includes 4 tickets to Disneyland Paris and car ferry across and back on a day return for as little as £9.50. To get this amazingly cheap deal, you need to collect 7 vouchers from different editions of The Sun Newspaper.

Good to see Gadget Show presenter Suzi Perry back on the show after suffering an ectopic pregnancy a few months ago. She was on hand to run down her top 5 gadget lights. Here were the results:
5. 2C Solar Light Cap
This was chosen for its multi-tasking ability. The 2C Solar Light Cap is a cap that’s also a torch that doesn’t need batteries – it runs using a solar panel at the top of the cap. Very useful for DIY, tradesmen etc. Get one here
4. Glow Graffiti
Glow Graffiti is a light spray which allows you to graffiti walls etc in the dark without actually leaving a trace. Illuminatingly urban - get some glow graffiti here
3. Glow Flow Shower Head Light
The Glow Flow shower head light illuminates your shower or bath and provides some really funky lighting for your bathroom. The Glow Flow LED is activated and deactivated by simply turning your shower on and off. Like the Light Cap it doesn’t need batteries – the LED lights are powered using the force of the water passing through the Glow Flow device. There is also a built in temperature sensor glowing red when the water is warm and blue when the water is cold. Get a Glow Flow Shower Head Light here
2. Amp Lamp
The Amp Lamp has been handcrafted by top designer Dominic Bromley and really looks beautiful. Incorporated into the Amp Lamp is an amplifier and a speaker, creating a full 360 degree sound from the lamp. Get an Amp Lamp here
1. Flatlite
The Flatlite is the world’s longest and thinnest energy saving lightbulb. It uses phospher crystals for illumination rather than delicate filaments. It costs just a fraction of what a normal lightbulb costs to power and is only half a millimetre thick. Its flexibility is another plus point of the Flatlite.
