maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted January 8, 2017 Rowland Rivron Tom O Connor Michelle Ryan < was tipped to be the next British actress to break Hollywood at one point. Doesn't Rowland Rivron do occasional features for The One Show? Yeah, and shows like Holiday - not exactly high profile, mind.

YoungWillz 21,188 Posted January 10, 2017 I see they dredged up a few for the Pop Quiz specials too. Nick Heyward still looked mighty damn fine. Mari Wilson? OMG! Ranking Roger definitely hasn't aged well though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,627 Posted January 10, 2017 There's plenty of half-written articles about there regarding "where" Duffy is now, but there's pretty much fuck all explaining how she went from being bigger than Adele to absolutely vanishing off the face of the earth. Good shout. Do you think it had anything to do with the way she was managed? It wouldn't be the first time somebody's career was all but ended when their agents were such arseholes nobody wanted to deal with them. I'd assume management blunders, yeah. Famously back in the 80s Cyndi Lauper's management deliberately kept her away from the TV/radio/all media for 18 months because they thought that the public would suffer Madonna exhaustion and Cyndi could return and claim the Queen of Pop throne unopposed. Whoops. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,223 Posted January 10, 2017 Kelly Monteith. He was one of the many US comedians who were given a shot by Des O'Connor (IIRC) on his chat show. He got a few series out of BBC2, even had Victor Spinetti as his stooge for a few shows then....................bugger all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Googled... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Monteith That's very, very strange. You don't go from winning a Silver Rose to digging through a dustbin to put food on the table. Either he upset someone or there was a skeleton in a cupboard somewhere. Very Twilight Zone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatcher 2,470 Posted January 14, 2017 Rustie Lee is often a commentator on Big Brother's Bit on the Side and she has said she wants to go on Celebrity Big Brother herself. At least they might have some nice food if she did. Besides that she's a UKIP supporter so presumably often down the pub with Nigel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the only problems she's dealing with is a morning Suduko with her coffee. I remember watching that show in the middle of the night in my college/uni days. Badly behaved kids and tearaway teens trisha's solution always seemed to be send them to boot camps , though it wasn't really a boot camp. More of a outdoor climbing adventure in the lake district with zip lines. So essentially she was rewarding them , what a fucking troll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted January 15, 2017 Whatever happened to Jossy from Jossy's Giants? Had (as I vaguely recall through the mists of time) one of the greatest first lines in TV history, "I've been watching you lads from behind them bushes..." Wouldn't get dialogue like that these days.
