Logo for The Real Hustle - Series 9: Celebrity Scammers - Under the Influence

Hustlers Alex Conran, Jess Clement and Paul Wilson lift the lid on the most devious scams to target the British public. They are joined by celebrity guests who are thrown in at the deep end to become a part of the team without any training or preparation. Antony Costa of boyband Blue goes undercover as a cash and carry worker, selling watered-down alcohol to his customers. The hustlers persuade some marks to take part in a Trading Standards sting operation, supposedly to catch Antony, the crook. Can the guest hustler keep his cool as he tries to scam the marks twice in a row with the same con? Alex pays a visit to a home-owner, posing as a satellite engineer. Will the mark cough up for a reconnection fee as their TV signal suddenly goes dead?
