ITV, Britain's largest commercial TV channel, has given the green light to a poker-based game show that will air on Saturday nights to millions of homes across the UK. Called ‘The Con Test’, it will be hosted by two of the channels most bankable stars, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, known simply as Ant and Dec to their disturbingly large number of followers.
