In that fairy liquid advert with Nanette Newman (Ready, girls?) And also in the audience for The Movie Game (which was rigged).

I was filmed being pranked by Dom Joly but I refused to sign the release so they couldn't show it Hmm. So no.

Yes - DIY SOS in 2003. Got a home makeover although Nick Knowles put a nail through a pipe and flooded the living room...

Ihaventgottimeforthis This one?

Ihaventgottimeforthis · 15/09/2020 23:08

That's the one but not the full version (directors cut?!) I need to find it now!

I was an audience member at a public meeting headed by our MP. For some reason the cameraman spent an inordinate amount of time filming up my nose! I was desperately embarrassed and haven't allowed any photos, not even family snaps, since.

Lots of times on the BBC ... singing once , kids shows and in the audience in a Nick Knowles quiz show - forgot the name ...

But more exciting for me is my nephew was one of the cute tiny Balamory Nursery children...
he’s now 6ft 4 😂

Yes I won a Scottish TV quiz show in the eighties and been in audience on Loose Women.

Yes, in the background of an episode of Aussie soap Heatbreak High.
Very jealous - especially if it was one of the early ones. When I was in my early teens, I thought Abi Tucker (even with her slightly stringy hair) was the coolest girl in the world.

Thrice - 'Mastermind', an 'Eggheads' thing, and a BBC4 documentary about men and their relationship with their penises (we were on a henner at a male strip club called 'Apollo', I think). Gutted no-one recorded the latter as my BMI was, like, 19 back then.

Ds was on Secret Life of Four Year Olds, so I featured very briefly kissing him goodbye at the start.

Me too, especially as a very skinny, bespectacled, braces-clad, unattractive brunette who had no idea how to apply make-up.

Twice. Once getting my ALevel results.
And the other time, singing “If you want to help, help Children in Need” before being part of the crowd for a Grange Hill vs Eastenders football match for said charity. I can still sing most of that song!

I was on Emmerdale as an extra when I was about 5. And then I was on the Weakest Link as a student in about 2008! I came 4th. Tactically voted out when I was the strongest link Grin but it was so much fun!

'We are the future/We are the seed . . . '

Bloody loved that. Proper anthem.
