I make that a Scrabble score of 38, so he easily qualifies for the Scrabble thread if you can find it.

I don't think Love Island is going to last for long anymore. The following have died:

• Sophie Gradon - 2018 - suicide
• Mike Thalassitis - 2019 - sucide
• Caroline flack - 2020 - suicide (in last 24 hours)

Maybe there needs to be a new thread "curse of Love Island".

Three deaths in 3 years?  Nah..

[Cerberus 302]

As many people have died from that show as have from Strictly, haven't there? And one of those was Bruce Forsyth.

With all the 'rona afflicting care homes, it made me wonder about the two sets of people who appeared in Old People's Home for Four Year Olds" as it must potentially be sweeping a whole wave of reality "stars". Nothing found recently, but when looking, I found that the oldest featured member (in series two), Sylvia Fairholme,  died at the grand old age of 104 back in February,  "https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-news/tribute-mum-104-who-captured-3893781

 

I found both series to be one of the most heartwarming programmes I've watched in the last 10 years or so, but I appreciate it's not everybody's cup of tea.

Similarly I was watching the ITV programme "100 Year old Drivers" a few weeks ago. It's on YouTube here.

Quite an amusing watch. It aired in 2017. I did a little Googling after, found a few obits but quite a few of the participants still seem to be around. Some are getting into oldest living Brits territory.

I believe June Bernicoff was previously picked for the DDP in her own right, so List of The Missed.

Ah, cool.

 

Note for everyone - there's about 40, 000 celebrities (from memory it might be close to twice that number) in the database so if you spot a List of the Missed name, use that term in your post as I can Search it and add them on my updates.

Do I have to find out her last name now?

[Octopus of Odstock 2,203]

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. She was probably my favourite contestant on there. 

She's 54 and her surname is Gardiner
