"He's a really charismatic guy, which is why we chose him asone of the faces of CelebPoker.com."
The 47-year-old actor, who also directs movies and television shows,entered the show when it began on June 1st and has been game for all thechallenges that the show's producers have thrown him, beating all the othercontestants to win 'Hang Tough' a game that involved hanging from steel barsabove a tank of stagnant water.
"The team are all glued to the coverage of the show, which we can catchover here on ITV2 and we've got our fingers crossed that Lou can win thisone," added David, "In some ways it's a bit like poker as you need to maskyour true feelings and hang in there if you want to win the big prize."
