Martine McCutcheon was recently declared bankrupt. I was wondering as she will probably sell her story to a magazine, would she return to the real world and get a normal job?
Have any other ex-celebs ever gone back to the real world and got normal jobs?

Adele Silva got a job in a clothes shop whilst trying to break America and though she did end up going back to Emmerdale for a bit it does show she's not afraid of some 'real' graft.
And of course as Alan Partridge's stalking 'mentalist' in one of the greatest comedy episodes of all time.

Yep, he worked for Sainsburys for a while and then became a cab-driver
Fair play to these celebs. Shows fame is a fleeting thing.t
She did - http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ex-hollyoaks-star-lesley-crawford-midwife-342122
With comments like that, hopefully no-one will offer her anything for her tales of woe and she'll end up looking for sale bedding bargains in Primark :rolleyes:
I really admire former actors/singers/etc who aren't afraid of the real world and aren't afraid to return to it. Happens far too rarely now.
Couldnt agree more. Sadly these stupid shows like Celeb Big Brother tempt people too much to come back.
Its the same with actors and actresses going into Casualty/Waterloo Rd. Why not accept you are over and go into the real world. If its time on benefits so be it.
I agree - I mean, what is the ex celeb supposed to do? Starve?
It does make you wonder why more people can't see the press for the one giant trolling operation it is. Bewildering that they don't.
The fair haired (now bald) one has ended up making more money out of being a builder than he ever did out of music.
Sean Wilson who played Martin Platt in Corrie has become a successful chef and owns his own cheese company.
I suppose most reality contestants return to normal life so they don't really count.
You think that going into those two shows means your acting career is over? What have you against those two shows? If someone's acting career was really over, they wouldn't even get onto them.
