Fatima Whitbread got the only British gold medal in the Athletics World Champs in Rome in 1987. I was in the crowd, and it was the only opportunity to sing the National Anthem. Will always have respect for her, despite the people who will (inevitably) comment on her looks.

Was the season that Ben Johnson came through, and got banned the season after. His 100m world record run in Rome was amazing at the time (although drug fuelled in hindsight).

I have heard of:

Fatima Whitbread
Willie Carson
Freddie Starr

I think Mark Wright was a radio DJ wasn't he?

I'm lost on the others, oh well, I shan't be watching it anyway.

Of course fans of 70s (and early 80s) tv will remember Stephanie Powers from 'Hart to Hart'.

As for Jessica Jane Clement, I once saw some tv show on BBC about being swindled. The show was pathetic, but very pleasant to look at.

Stephanie Powers - she's beautiful (said in my growly Max voice).

I've met Freddie Starr. When I said met I mean stood behind him in a queue in a video game shop. He was buying some driving game and passing wind.

But - I wouldn't watch this nonsense. Haven't watched any of the others either.

It really is a mental laxative for the low brows......

Stephanie Powers opened my Brother and His Wife's pub in Leeds in 2000 😀

Sister in Law knew her from a previous job so she agreed to do a bit of PR as a favour.

.
They don't own the pub anymore, and the subsequent police raid for illegal workers and gambling was nothing to do with them 😀

Stephanie Powers and Willie Carson were the only names I recognised. Guess that dates me.

Lineup features quite prominently on the BBC site, presumably they're having a bit of a giggle at the calibre of the contestants

Dougie Poynter, 23, went into rehab earlier this year for stress but says he's looking forward to going into the jungle.

"I would pay to do something like this if I wasn't doing it for TV," he admitted. "I am so excited.

"I am really into nature and Sir David Attenborough is a god to me.

Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully in Coronation Street, says he is not looking forward to the bushtucker trials and is especially scared of flying, heights and claustrophobia.

"I have a morbid fear of flying," the 36-year-old admitted. "I don't like heights and I am claustrophobic.

"I have had hypnotherapy and I have also been to therapy to face my fears.

"The therapy was amazing even though in the days leading up to going in the jungle, I did have moments where I wondered why on earth I had said yes. But life is to live and so I think 'why not do it.'

"Doing this show is a once in a lifetime opportunity...."

:mrgreen:

Lord above nealglover; I know those two!!!! 😮

She was a room-mate of a mate of mine when we were at uni in London. Her poor feller would come round to see her and have to run the gauntlet of us lot invariably drunk. 😀

Ah, good times...

The only good thing to have come from all this is - given Freddie Starr's current rather chunky appearance- the Sun were able to run the headline 'Freddie Starr ate my Hamper'

Back in the day, Fatima Whitbread was arrested (allegedly) for drug trafficking......

Nope.

Dougie Poynter is in Travis I think.

I'm just relieved that the early rumours of Gazza going in were false.

[i]Steve[/i] Wright?

There was a footballer called Mark Wright, played for Derby County, Liverpool & England. Scored a goal in the group stages of Italia 90 that kept England in the competition, if memory serves. However, having seen the above post, I guess it's not him then
