The team of hustlers - Alexis Conran, Paul Wilson and Jessica Clement - appear as they have never been seen before.

And that's not the only change - in each episode Alex, Jess and Paul take a well-known personality and put them into the shoes of a hustler. They are given the inside track, learn the harsh realities of just how Britain's shameless confidence tricksters set out to con people, and help to warn the public what to watch out for.
