Movie beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones loves the unfashionable game bingo so much she arranges a game for her family every Christmas.

The INTOLERABLE CRUELTY star has now passed her knowledge of the numbers game, favoured by old-aged Brits, to husband Michael Douglas.

An insider says, "It's something Catherine has done since she was a little girl growing up in Wales.

"She used to make all the balls with numbers on them, the cards and organise the prizes and she still plays now only she probably doesn't have to make it.

"Michael thinks it's a bizarre game, especially all that bingo lingo, but it's a bit of fun and last year he won a nice bottle of aftershave."
