Channel 4 has tasked Good Egg Productions and Channel X Productions with the job of creating a new poker entertainment show and Celebrity Poker Home Game is being born.

If you are British and love your poker, then you will no doubt remember Late Night Poker.

It was the surprise package for Channel 4 in the early 2000s pulling in larger audiences that the channel’s top soap opera Brookside. It turned the likes of Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott and The Hendon Mob into legends of the game. It created the world’s greatest commentator in Jesse May. It was a timeless classic.

There has never been anything like it.
