I think she's a sobbing actor who has got older. She's done a lot of stage work over the years but she's been very typecast with the birds of a feather character she played. |

Well it's their career / income stream innit? Much like an older plumber 'clinging on to doing plumbing' to continue to earn a living
But for examples think of anyone prepared to eat kangaroo testicles in a jungle just to remain in the spotlight, Bobby Davro, Daniella Westbrook that sort of person  |

peter sndre, a triumph of tenacity over talent. We watch Strictly and I have to ask which the dancer is and which the alleged celebrity. They're all so desperate for the limelight, it's a bit like choosing an abandoned puppy from the rescue centre! |

Many years ago I saw the woman that plays Cindy in Eastenders at Keele services on M6, walking in a circle desperately trying to "bump " into people just so they'd say "oh aren't you..." whatever her name was, was a pathetic sight |

That's such a good analogy. They're all at it though, theres only a few who just let their work speak then go home |

Iceland ad is very true. Closer to home, Lesley Joseph did the grand opening of a furniture shop near me a few years ago, and Marlon from Emmerdale Farm opened a butchers shop too, must be money in it but it's scraping the barrel surely.
In fact a local celebrity in Shropshire is the guy that plays Boycie in Only Fools, he's either sad or a genius, he turns up at anything with his tache and will smile/pose and do the "Marlene" voice thing, he's a one-man walking Groundhog Day but it's got to pay the bills surely |

"I have to say it but take that, give it up there's only three of you now!!!"
Can beat that, we've seen 5star from the 80's and there's only two off them now, now that's clinging on to the past |

I think 5ive should be on the list too, as much as I adored them back in the day (yep full on stalker here!) now there's three of them too, and the name of course, give it up!!! |

As an actor the only thing worse than not being remembered is being remembered really well for one thing. Your whole career then become you fighting against your own fleeting success |

"you have to give the "other 2" from East 17 a shout here, style over substance - look mean and moody in ridiculous trousers and join in on the chorus. Epic stuff"
Oh east 17, that was another one from my stalker days! |

Or perhaps just looking for whoever she was travelling with? |

No absolutely not, she was doing it when I arrived, she was doing it when I came out toilets, she was doing it after I'd had a coffee and was leaving. |

Maybe someone had glued her foot to the floor? |

"Anyone who enters the celeb big brother house 
Or the jungle  "
The thing about those shows though is that if you're at the height of your career you're not going to go on them, are you? I think some folk expect an A List cast....more like Z list with the occasional Y list! |

"Whatever happened to Rebecca Loos? She clung onto her alleged affair with David Beckham for all it was worth... Victoria killed her "
Kind of ironic that without David, no doubt Victoria would be another name mentioned on this thread, opening Nisas and Costcutters across the country  |

Bruce Forsyth - should have retired years ago. His constant name dropping of famous people who he has appeared on stage with gets a bit boring when he has told it so many times before.
Lucy Porter - allegedly is a comedian but all i ever see on tv doing is giving her opinion on various talking head programmes(i love the 70's, 100 best comedy programmes etc etc). Her agent must have the booker of these programmes on speed dial because i don't think their is one i've not seen her on. |

That's not true at all!
I've never wanted to punch a puppy in the face  |

Can I throw Barbara Windsor into the ring? You can guarantee that anytime anyone famous dies Babs has a quote in the paper commiserating over it. She's chief mourner. |

If anyone's going to be fucking Geri I'd like to be considered for the post |

LOL yes they "loved their old mum" and really they never hurt anyone that didn't deserve it and had a code of ethics they worked to etc.Trust me if I was EVER inclined to try internet bingo I'd actively NOT chose the one that old trout advertises.
In her defence, the flying-bra scene in Carry On Camping is a complete classic  |
