Shannon Doherty. She seemed big in the 90s and then just disappeared. I've been watching Charmed with DD and it reminded me.

Shannen has stage 4 breast cancer but I think she does a few tv guest roles now and then.

Most former Blue Peter presenters from the 90s/early 00s except Matt Baker. What happened to Katie Hill? Konnie? Simon Thomas?

Darren day 🤣

Darren Day was touring with Footloose the musical when I saw it last year.

He's got IG (and maybe tik tok?) if you want to catch up with him 🤣

Paul Young - very popular mid to late 80s, in tabloids etc. Don't often play him on radio either.

Her partner is the Black Mirror bloke I think?

Annika Rice presents a radio programme on Christmas Day. I cook Christmas lunch listening to her. She's very funny.

When we watch Top of the Pops on a Friday we spend half the time googling the acts and the presenters that we've long forgotten about to see what they're up to.
