Ex-Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount takes on a new role as guest Hustler when he joins the team for a devious con based in the antiques world.

Hustlers Jessica Jane Clement, Alexis Conran and Paul Wilson are back with another series of The Real Hustle. Together they have carried out over 500 scams and stolen over £1,000,000, making this the most successful scam show of all time. 

Joined by new recruits Polly Parsons and Jazz Lintott plus a host of celebrity guest hustlers, their job is to expose the tricks of the criminals' trade so that you don't get scammed.

Ex-Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount takes on a new role as guest Hustler when he joins the team for a devious con based in the antiques world. Playing the part of a smart gallery owner's son, he helps to convince the mark that he's being offered a deal of a lifetime when he agrees to help dealer Paul buy a pair of genuine Houdini handcuffs from his bitter rival Alex. He believes the two have been embroiled in an ongoing feud over the cuffs for years and, in offering to help, he stands to make a lot of money from the deal. 

Polly and Alex join forces to try to convince an unsuspecting mark that by coughing up a cash reward for a lost pen drive, he'd really be doing a good deed.
