Christine Bleakley - she was everywhere for a few years.

I'm sure she married Frank Lampard and had a couple of DC (they must be under 6 years old). I've only seen her do the odd stand-in gig (Loose Women, This Morning etc) since.

Wincey Willis is now an active charity fundraiser for animal charities I believe. Nichola Roberts was horribly stalked and maybe had to take time away from her career.

Calista Flockhart

She adopted a baby, then married Harrison Ford a short while later. That was about 20 years ago though.

I've had a Google and apparently Bob Carolgees runs a Candle shop in Frodsham Cheshire called Carolgees candles. Poor spit the dog was sold at auction in 2004. Atleast he won't be spitting at the customers In the candle shop!

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.

Nicolas Lyndhurst is going to be in the new Frasier reboot apparently... can't imagine it myself.

You should. Its still on Netflix. Its funny and awful at the same time. 😁

I think Its a good warming against social media, believing things that are too good to be true and a couple of men who think thier big and clever.
