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

Myleen has a regular slot on Classic FM.

Miquita Oliver has done Celebrity Gogglebox with her mother fairly recently.

Craig Doyle turns up in Everest ads every now and then.

I think Katie Hill moved to the US.

Julie Covington didn't want fame which is why she did the original recording of Evita but didn't do the stage musical.

Matthew Kelly ⭐

He was arrested for child abuse, in a very public way, and then cleared of all charges in a very quiet way.

Destroyed his career, but I believe he acts alot on stage now

Miquita Oliver did a BBC show touring the Caribbean with her mum, Andi, a year or so ago. I think they nearly got stuck there due to the pandemic.

Miquita was on Celebrity Bake Off. I wish they’d bring Simon Amstell back to TV. He was so funny!
