Ant and Dec's poker show

TV

Ant and Dec are set to host a new poker-style game show.

The programme - to be screened this summer - will see contestants trying to bluff their way to a £1million jackpot.

Players collect cash by answering questions, but have to make their rivals think they are doing better or worse than they really are.

At the end of each round players must decide whether they will leave with their winnings or battle it out for another round.

Ant and Dec came up with the idea for the show - which they have named 'The Con Test' - themselves and tested it on their friends to see if it would be popular.

Ant is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "It's all about bluff and it's all about poker faces and holding your nerve."

Dec said: "You don't have to be a genius at general knowledge. But you have to be clever enough to make people think you know the answers."
