Anyone remember her on that? There are lots of clips on Youtube. A much better format than the X Factor IMO.

Why are they pretending that Fame Academy never happened? They adressed the fact that Hayley was on Pop Idol.

Fame Academy is one of those things everyone forgets ever happened until its mentioned.

Maybe Carolyne has as well.

Whatever happened to the winner that year? The miserable one that was heading for clown college until her dad applied on her behalf?

Lol, Alex Parks? Everyone talked about her like she was the second coming at the time, where is she now?

How far did she get? She seems so desperate, almost obsessive, on XF like she hasn't had any opportunities! Other than that, she looks amazing for 32, she looks younger now!!

I really liked carolynne when she was on fame academy, I really liked the programme as well, shame it didn't last long. They are probably not acknowledging that she was on it because it was BBC.

I never watched Fame Academy - but I found this linked off one of your videos.



Carolynne ruining Daniel Bedingfield's song.

He must have wanted to tell her to shut up.

She got to the final and came 3rd behind Alex and Alistair. She looks much chunkier in those days, as I remember she was seen as a bit racy at the time and had been a lapdancer before going on the show, I also remember her snogging one of her fellow students. I think it was that awful Peter who went out with Fern Cotton.

I also LOVED Fame Academy and it's a better format than X Factor and we didn't have to sit through adverts that seem to be on every five minutes!!!

A lot of people I know who watch x Factor thought Carolynne was 'new' but I saw her in a Tony Christie tour about 7 years ago but she wasn't as good as when she sang songs I knew on FA as she sang her own songs on tour and I didn't know or like them!!!

I think it's because Simon Cowell isn't linked to Fame Academy but he is to Pop Idol?

Yes I remember her as well, I thought she was quite annoying

I liked Sinead who won that series. And of course that series also gave us Lemar.

I liked Sinead too and her single - but it was actually David Sneddon that won series one.

Its quite strange to see how small the stage was back then! It was only them singing, with not a lot of production. I like it.

Oh I'd forgotten about him. Easily a contender for the worst ever winner of these talent shows

loved Fame Academy was my favorite ever reality tv show!
and Carolynne was loads better vocally then than she is now... and i must admit she was alot better looking in them days and connected with the audience better, she looked fun, had fun and was natural... she now trying to pass herself off as something she isnt, shame!
also the fake back story about her hubby hasnt helped her.. but reading his tweets i can now see why she and ITV would want him hidden.. he is a knobber!!
Carolynne Good as she was in them days was anything but a good girl!! she looked so dirrrrrrrrrrrty!

BRING BACK FAME ACADEMY!! (with a new head master-Simon Cowell would be good!!)

David Sneddon and Alex Parkes were my favs!!
lemar did ok out of it he on his 5th album! so if she was ever good enough it was proven you could make a career on the back of it.... so maybe carolynne is good but just not as good as she thinks? and other people on here think?

So true! And I think she came third or something

She was better on fame academy. She's picked up some awful habits singing-wise since then.

I think she writes songs for other people. I know that's what David Sneddon does now,

Remember Malachi the Irish guy?

yeah there was contraversy at the time as he had a girlfriend outside of the Fame Academy house and as there was live feed the girlfriend could see wgat the pair of them were up too

they included the "snog" in the series recap too at 3:28

Alistair was my favourite that series

I don't think she was a lap dancer though ... she was part of a dance troup at a club

I much preferred her vocals on FA, her diction now is awful
