Golden balls... uncut!

Chris had actually gone down to London to do the show in March but had been contractually bound to secrecy, as to how he had got on. All he had kept saying for months was, "I could have done better but I had a good laugh", and even the IPO weekend had failed to get any more information out of him.

He hadn't been splashing the cash around, so I knew he hadn't won big. In fact I had to lend him a fiver for a KFC in Blackpool the previous Friday, during the GUKPT, (which remains outstanding).

Anyway, the best two bits of the show were actually cut out, as Chris told me after the show had aired. As Chris lied his way into the final by claiming the highest value ball from a Scottish female would-be politician, the 'lady' in question shouted, "Tosser" to Chris as she walked past him, after she was voted out.

Another piece that was edited out, was Chris in the final holding both hands of the dear old poetry-writing charity-working lady in the final saying the words, "Don't worry love, I know you dream of going to Goa to renew your wedding vows and you are on the plane now - I am definitely splitting (the money)."

Fast forward 10 minutes and the lovely old lady leaves shell-shocked, penniless and Goa-less as Chris "steals" the whole £16K and getting no comfort from Chris' final words in the aftermath interview - "No remorse, No remorse." All's fair in love, war, poker and 'Golden Balls' obviously!
