The duo were let go from the ITV1 lunchtime panel show at the end of the last series earlier this month.

The con is back on! Less than four months after Nate Ford and his band of rogues busted the insurance company that allowed his son to die, they’re back for an all-new season of capers.
We’ve moved a few months later and from Los Angeles to Boston, where Nate is on the verge of accepting a job with another insurance company before he realizes he’s not happy with that. He’d rather go have another drink (he’s quit drinking, or has he?), but before he can cross the street to the bar, he’s nearly killed by a car which strikes a lamppost and flips over him (only on TV, people). Being the good guy he is, Nate rescues the driver and his daughter before seeing a hoodlum make off with a briefcase in the backseat. Something’s not right here: the brakes on the car have failed,...
