    Samantha Morton played Myra Hyndley in 2006 in a documentary about her and Brady. Never seen her since though.

    When ITV repeat these "An Audience With..." shows it's always interesting to look at the audience of celebs to see which ones have vanished off the map.

    She had a stroke around 2006 according to a post on her imdb message board.

    Susan Tully stopped acting and has a pretty impressive Director CV as Sue Tully.
    Stella, Lark Rise to Candleford, Silent Witness ...

    She also has a strong career in independent/art house film. Not making big money, maybe, but she's constantly working.

    According to IMDB she was in John Carter - which would explain why you haven't heard of what she's doing no one went to see it :)

    I immediately thought of Mike Yardwood or Mike and Bernie Winters .I think Yardwood is still alive not sure about the Winters or Snorbitz.

    Whatever happened keith Chequers or paula abdul or even the beautiful Julie Edge.

    Paula was a judge on American Idol from 2002 until 2009. Don't know what she's doing now though. Also, don't you mean Keith Chegwin?

    Mike Yarwood is alive, but certainly isn't active in showbiz any more.

    Mike and Bernie Winters quit their double act over 30 years ago - Mike emigrated to the USA, Bernie is long dead.

    Paula Abdul was a judge on the much-discussed X Factor USA just a few months ago!

    And Keith Chegwin (aka Cheggers) is still alive and well but doesn't appear on TV much any more. He was in an episode of that recent Ricky Gervais series with Warwick Davis.

    Oh dear. He was a good singer, dropped off the radar pretty quick though.

    Got me thinking about '80s game shows and there were a lot of regulars who have now disappeared from the limelight.

    Ruth Madoc
    Annabel Croft
    Judi Spiers
    Louise Jameson
    Lee Hurst
    Andrea Boardman
    John Virgo
    Bruno Brookes
    Linda Lusardi

    Jimmy Cricket. He was always on the telly when I was a small child in the late 80's/early 90's and then seemed to vanish. In fact I thought I'd imagined him for years until I was on Youtube a few weeks ago and saw an old clip of him on there. I suppose his wholesome comedy act simply went out of fashion.
