CelebPoker Star in Ich bin…

CelebPoker’s resident Texas Hold ’em coach and established movie actor, Lou Diamond Phillips is playing a whole new game this summer as the star of I’m A Celebrity USA.

The former professional Poker player and star of Young Guns, who is now the face of the CelebPoker.com Poker School, is proving a big hit in the American version of the show, which also includes Stephen and Daniel Baldwin, brothers of Alec, and Janice Dickinson, who was runner up in the British series in 2007.

“It’s great to see Lou proving such a hit in I’m a Celebrity and we’re hoping he’ll show the same staying power in the show that he’s demonstrated at the Poker table,” said David Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of CelebPoker.com. “He’s a really charismatic guy, which is why we chose him as one 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 the challenges that the show’s producers have thrown him, beating all the other contestants to win ‘Hang Tough’ a game that involved hanging from steel bars above a tank of stagnant water.

“The team are all glued to the coverage of the show, which we can catch over here on ITV2 and we’ve got our fingers crossed that Lou can win this one,” added David, “In some ways it’s a bit like poker as you need to mask your true feelings and hang in there if you want to win the big prize.”

When I’m a Celebrity comes to an end, Diamond Phillips will return to work on the TV mini-series Love Takes Wing, which he is currently directing, as well as a part in Stargate Universe and the lead role in paranormal movie, The Invited.
