Just thought I'd get the excitement going for this (starts on Wednesday). dh tells me that Les Dennis and Mark Owen (ex-Take That) are 2 of the inmates - anyone know who else?
Must admit, I have a bit of a soft spot for "little" Mark.

I've heard Mel B and Goldie (can't imagine that he would do it though). And I'd heard Steven Gately, but can't believe they'd have both him and Mark Owen.

ellasmum · 17/11/2002 14:04

I had heard that they had asked Grant Bovey - not sure if he is going to do it. I'm sure it will be all major C-list celebs.

I will be glued no doubt.

agaazaa · 17/11/2002 14:15

Who is Goldie? The only Goldie I know is the Blue Peter Dog, which would explain why Mel B is also doing it!

honeybunny · 17/11/2002 15:33

Caprice aswell!

leese · 17/11/2002 16:06

What about Dawn French? Heard Denise Welch was also going to be in it, but had to pull out as her baby is poorly

Paula1 · 17/11/2002 16:11

Goldie is that guy who is mates with Noel Gallagher, he has gold teeth. He also did some guest appearances in Eastenders when that girl was living with Paul in the B&B (I think he was that girl's (Precious?) husband?)

I heard Graham Norton (+ Dawn French). Now that would be funny. But who would do his show......?!

jessi · 17/11/2002 16:59

Caprice has had to pull out now, can't say I'm devestated. So far none appeal much!

willow2 · 17/11/2002 17:18

Think Kathy Burke might be doing it as I caught sight of her in a trailer for some other programme's coverage of the show!

Goldie is/was also very influential dj/drum and bass recording artiste etc. Not just bloke on the telly.

The list is in the back of todays Times, it is too dull to remember.

Don't mean to not be helpful, just I have baby brain, and no memory, and much sleep deprivation! sorry.

anais · 20/11/2002 20:45

Hee hee, well Mark Owen alone will do it for me....Sad eh?

mears · 20/11/2002 21:20

Guess Anne Diamond is off the diet again!

Alibubbles · 20/11/2002 21:36

meras, I couldn't believe it was Anne Diamond, all mumsy and size 18!

Scatterbrain · 20/11/2002 21:49

And what's wrong with being all mumsy and size 18 may I ask ? Anne Diamond has had a crap time lately - I hope she enjoys the house and isn't subjected to narrow minded sizeist criticism such as written below !!

jessi · 20/11/2002 22:02

Yes I'm with Scatterbrain on this one, poor old Anne, she has had a sh** time of it and I think she's pretty brave as its likely that she won't last very long. Dh refused to watch so we turned off, but then when I told him Melinda Messenger is on it, he is re-considering,bless.

Tinker · 20/11/2002 22:03

She looks very uncomfortable though, doesn't she? Who is now then - switched off at Les Dennis.

What has been happening to Anne Diamond lately?

Tinker · 20/11/2002 22:33

The pieman has been visiting a bit too often by the looks of it!

willow2 · 20/11/2002 22:35

Now now Tinker (lol)

Oh, lay off Anne Diamond. She may be a rubbish tv presenter and a bit of a porker (says she, not getting any thinner) but at least she's almost singlehandedly saved hundreds, if not thousands of babies' lives with her cot death campaign. I think her contribution has been shamefully overlooked. If anyone deserves an OBE it's her, IMO.

I was surprised Melinda Messenger was in the show. She has really young children and I thought she'd miss them too much and vice versa.

emsiewill · 20/11/2002 23:14

It finished just as it was getting interesting, I thought. Don't think I can be bothered to stay up to see it live tonight.
V funny to see Anne Diamond making polite conversation with Goldie.
I really like Sue Perkins - ever since the days of "Light Lunch" (anyone else remember that? ).
Mark Owen is v. sweet.

Sorry about commenting on Anne Diamond. I just remember her losing all that weight before with her personal trainer and then the video she had out. That was when she got back into shape in the aftermath of her troubles. Just shows you shouldn't get too cocky about losing vast amounts of weight. It can jump back on any time - speaking from bitter experience
I do like her though and agree she should get recognition for all her hard work.

Tinker · 20/11/2002 23:23

What's going on here, I thought we weren't supposed to like Anne Diamond, especially after that sanctimonious tv interview with that bloke who turned out to have abused his kids. No, no, nooooooooo!!! She'll crack up anyway, she'll be this years whatshername, Feltz woman. She's already looking nervy and did a vague tutting eyebrow thing when they were making tea.
