I've only recently become aware of Celebrity Poker Club (CPC), which is like LNP but with people you might have seen stumbling into or out of parties in Hello magazine. Both programmes are made by the same production company. Since CPC uses the same commentators as the last few series of LNP (Jesse May and Barney Boatman), the same dealers (Marina and Peter) and even the same kind of camera shots (pulling out of a closeup of a vase of flowers and into a wide shot of the players, anyone?), if you blinked you couldn't tell the difference.

When it comes to commentators, they don't come much better than legendary darts watcher Sid Waddell. His crazy turns of phrase and erratic shouts pumped in some much needed excitement. But poker has its very own over-the-top commentary thanks to Jesse May. My favourite quote from LNP was when someone made a big bet and the 'under the table' cameras showed us what cards they had. "Oh my god, he's got the gay waiter," shouted Jesse, before quickly explaining, "It's a Queen with a trey." It took me a moment to realise he meant the player had a Queen with a Three, trey being Spanish for three. Geddit - gay waiter, Queen with a tray? Unbelievable, I thought.

But it's been beaten by the episode of CPC I just watched. Actors Keith Allen and Nigel Lindsay try and muscle each other out of a pot, raising and re-raising until Nigel's 'all in'. When the cards are flipped over it's clear they both have the same hand, and the chips will be shared out. Cue Jesse, "Showdown, we're going to see a split pot here. It's all for nought, like kissing your sister."

VERDICT: 8/10
