Recording the season 1 finale of cards on the table was a career highlight! Joined by the stars of episodes 4 and 5, Patrick Ottley-O-Connor and Richard Gerver, we played a penalty shoot-out celebrity top trump style game.

Both guests have incredible stories to tell and have met some phenomenal people in their careers. But there's a twist. One of the 5 is completely made up. Did you guess correctly?!
