They were pretty good. Given the standard of most support groups of that era they were amazing Saw Marc Almond live about 20 years ago, singalonga Say Hello Wave Goodbye was the final encore. I was one of only about 10 people in the audience who knew the words. He moved around/among the audience while we sang, I got a shoulder squeeze. Have to say being pulled onto the stage and cuddled by Tracie Young in 1983 was more fun though.

Rose Ayling Ellis. Why? I know she's pretty and she won Strictly where everyone (apparently) thought she was sweet. And is admittedly disabled. BUT She's deaf so inevitably talks over her co-host sometimes, isn't always easy to understand and is no presenter. Suppose we should be grateful they haven't wheeled out Rosie Jones.
