    Phil Vickery - former Gloucester and England rugby union player

    Phil Vickery - TV chef and husband of Fern Britton

    Wouldn't want to get them muddled up, although after watching Celebrity Masterchef a couple of series back Phil Vickery (rugby player) might cook better than Phil Vickery (chef) might play rugby.

    Is either one still married to Fern Britton?

    Nick Owen (TV-am)
    Nick Owen (ITV news)

    Jack Shepherd (actor)
    Jack P Shepherd (David Platt - Corrie)

    Although if actors are in the Equity union they can't have the same name can they - hence the "P" for the Corrie actor, and Harry "H" Corbett to distinguish the Steptoe actor from Sooty operative?
