Its like saying you had never heard of Beyonce until destiny's child.
Can anyone name a more famous young welsh girl of colour?”
Never heard of her or her tv show in my life and I doubt I'd recognize her in a weeks time if she passed me in the street. Outside of her home town, she could work in any shop and no one would have a clue who she is.
As for the Beyonce reference, seriously what? Apart from anyone who saw her on the tv talent shows she did, who had heard of her before DC?

I know quite a few ex footballers who played for big teams and now work normal jobs without any grief at all. I've also worked with someone who used to be in Grange Hill and now works in a bank. Plenty more famous than some girl off a little watched, low budget reality tv show
