The 2016 Line Up - Who Have You Heard Of?
3 of 4
I had heard of:
Anastacia
Ed Balls
Lesley Joseph
Daisy Lowe
Louise Redknapp
Judge Robert Rinder
Greg Rutherford
Will Young
But, Daisy's name I'd only heard in passing on gossip websites, and Judge Rinder I've only heard of because people have been talking about him as a potential contestant for a while.
As long as there are a few names I know and am excited about (Ed Balls & Greg Rutherford in this instance) then I'm happy, because I know that I'll probably grow to support someone in the line up that I've currently never heard of. That's part of the fun.

Never heard of:
Anastacia, Tameka Empson, Daisy Lowe, Danny Mac, Melvin Odoom, Ore Oduba, Judge Robert Rinder or Laura Whitmore.
Is there a guide somewhere as to who everyone is?
I may not even bother watching it this year. The programme only has any meaning if you care about the contestants. If you don't know who they are, how can you care?

Knew most of them but did not know Claudia but did recognise her from The Olympics, did not know Tameka as I do not watch EastEnders but have heard her mentioned on this forum and still none of the wiser on Danny Mac other than he is from Hollyoaks.
I had to look Naga and Ore up but I found that I knew who they were so I knew all of them,,,,,i'm astonished! 
I didn't recognise Danny Mac or know he was in Hollyoaks, but I'm sure I've heard his name before. Knew all the others.
It's a good lineup in my opinion and a personal boon for me as this year there's nobody I already really dislike!

I'd heard of 6. Think it's my most unknown year yet
Danny will be very popular. And a ringer. But people won't care cos he's hot.
Thrilled about Judge Rinder. He'll be fabulous. Louise will be brill too.
Dreading who Anton will get. Likely to be LJ. Hoping he gets Laura whatshername for no other reason than each week I'll hear Anton and Laura and I can close my eyes and pretend they mean me...

I already know 9 people in the line up.
Anastacia, Ed Balls, Lesley Joseph, Naga Munchetty, Louise Redknapp, Judge Robert Rinder (although I really can't stand his show ), Greg Rutherford, Laura Whitmore and Will Young.

9/15 - probably the lowest ever! But having Will and Greg in this is enough for me!

One thing I keep on noticing with myself - every time I go to list all of the celebs for whatever reason, I can always get to 14 off the top of my head...then I have to look to remind myself of the 15th.
The one I keep forgetting? WILL!
Strange as he's clearly one of the "marquee" signings this year (enough to make Claudia scream, at least...!)

Think it's interesting looking at the results that only 2 of those who have voted haven't heard of Will.
Not sure how Ed would feel, when he's less well-known than Louise and Anastacia - but he can take comfort that he's better known than Greg Rutherford and Lesley Joseph!

Will Young, obvs, whitmore, munchetty, but...
Barely heard of most of them...never heard of danny mac or that odoom (the right name) bloke.
Everybody except Naga.
At the time of posting, Will Young is recognised by 99% of those polled, and 5 of them have over 90% recognition. That's quite incredible.

13/15
Didn't know Danny Mac or Melvin Odoom.
This might be my highest ever recognition score.
Edit: Had to nerd it and go back and check. It's true- I haven't had such a high recognition score since the heady days of Series 6. Fighting to contain my excitement...
