I think Konnie writes now.
Her partner is the Black Mirror bloke I think?

Yeah I knew she was married to Charlie Brooker but haven’t seen or heard of her doing anything herself for a very long time.

Myleene Klass used to be on everything but I haven’t heard of her for ages.

I was in Next yesterday and saw she has a clothing range in there. That's the extent of my knowledge though!

Shes on This Morning and all over Instagram.

Lol thanks. I don't watch this morning or have insta so that's probably why I'm in the dark!

Jimmy Saville.
Rolf Harris.

Doesn't take much to work out why that might be.

She also has a resurrection of her old programme going on sky or something

Simon Thomas lost his wife and detailed his grief in depth and breached his own child's privacy in doing so - but got over it quickly and married a younger woman.

Also doing a great deal of fundraising for Bloodwise (now Blood Cancer UK) and taking on a senior role in the charity.

Yes he did remarry, but I don't think he "breached his own child's privacy" to any concerning degree, though he did talk about the family impact when a mother dies a rapid death from leukaemia. Gemma had been unwell with flu-like symptoms, saw GP three times over 6 days, was admitted to hospital where she died 4 days later. Symptoms of leukaemia are not well known, and he's put effort into raising awareness as well as fund-raising.

Craig Doyle does a lot of competitions on this morning and presents sometimes.

I imagine Nicholas Lyndhurst has retreated from Public life due to the death of his son.

Nicholas Lyndhurst.

He tragically lost his son a couple of years ago, God bless him. He was his only child. Haven't heard anything about him since.

Kate Nash was in the Horrible Histories film.

Heard her talking on the radio about how fickle the music industry was in that she went from being all the rage to the music execs dumping her quite quickly.
