Former EastEnders star Michael Greco has suggested that the key to his happiness could be a woman who enjoys playing poker.

The successful no-limit hold'em competitor told the Daily Record that his life would be better if he had a wife and a family.

And his ideal companion would have to share his passion for cards.

Discussing the type of person he would find appealing, he commented: "A woman who makes me laugh and doesn't take life, or me, too seriously. And who likes poker."

Greco, who reached a World Series of Poker final table in 2008 and has earned over £200,000 in cards tournaments, is one of a number of celebrities to have found success on the felt over the years.

Fellow actors Shannon Elizabeth, Jennifer Tilly and Ben Affleck have all won tournaments in the past, while snooker stars Jimmy White, Steve Davis and Mark Williams have also done well.
