Real Hustle gets more cons on BBC3

Stacey from BBC3's Gavin and Stacey

The Real Hustle team are to play tricks on Gavin and Stacey actress Joanna Page and rugby player Matt Dawson in the next series of the BBC3 factual entertainment series.

The sixth series of Objective's show has shaken up the format to include celebrity stings in each episode as well as some higher-stake hits on the general public.

Many of the bigger stunts will now play out in several instalments throughout the course of the episode.

Presenters Alexis Conran, Paul Wilson and Jessica-Jane Clement will return for the 10 x 30 run this autumn.

The series will be followed by a one-off 60-minute special in which viewers vote online for the best of the 250 con tricks featured in the first five series.

Myles Jenkins will produce the series, which will be directed by Andy Brown. Anthony Owen, Matt Crook and Andrew O'Connor will executive produce for Objective.

BBC3 controller Danny Cohen and BBC3 factual entertainment executive producer Harry Lansdown ordered the latest series.
