Marc Bannerman, Anna Ryder Richardson, Lynne Franks, Janice Dickinson, Rodney Marsh and John Burton Race are all 'competing' in the new "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!".
Thing is, if I have heard of them, I've heard nothing of them for years. But most of them, I really have never heard of.
Who are these people, what is their talent and where do they come from?
It's the same for the stupid BBC dancing thing. Who on earth are Alesha Dixon, Brian Capron, Dominic Littlewood, Gethin Jones, Kate Garraway or Matt Di Angelo?
There seems to be an active and lucrative job of being vaguely known, but not doing, achieving or being good at anything at all.
Abi Titmuss and Rebecca Loos are famous for what? Well, shagging married or distasteful men as far as I can tell. Callum Best is known for being a distasteful man and shagging the aforementioned hussies -- I'm guessing..
Switch channels and ditto. I've never heard of Carole Malone, Cleo Rocos, Danielle Lloyd, Ian "H" Watkins, Jackie Budden, Jo O'Meara..
In these few lines there are a lot of names of D/E-list 'celebs' on quasi-reality TV programmes. Don't get me wrong, I don't read the red tops or Heat. (I've been Googling …and wish I hadn't). I do however, spend an awful lot of time pouring over the Guardian Guide looking for something worth watching.
It makes the annual event of a Stephen Poliakoff drama worth the wait. And like buses, you wait a year and all of a sudden six turn-up at once..
