He was talking to the publication ahead of the weekend's charity football match for former England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, where he had been chosen to captain one of the sides.
His poker-playing exploits were uncovered as he explained how he got involved in the football game, which took place at Stoke City's Britannia Stadium.

The actor is not the only soap star, who enjoys a game of poker.
