As far as I am concerned they are only 5 that can actually be classed as real celebrities and that is Larry Lamb, Wayne Bridge, Carol Vordeman, Sam Quek and Adam Thomas, the rest are nobodies or wannabes.

You're excluding Olympic gold medalist Sam Quek (far from a nobody), and including somebody who has been in Emmerdale?

Ola Jordan, former pro dancer on the BBC flagship light entertainment programme.

Jordan Banjo BGT winner and still with Diversity.

Sam Quek.......as has already been mentioned.

I'll let you off with Scarlett though but I like her on Gogglebox.

I don't watch Emmerdale so don't know Adam......thought it was his brother!!

Depends on your definition of celebrity in your own world is. I mean, me, I think soaps arre awful, watched by sad muppets, but that's me. Hence I would poo poo actors in them, and disqualify two of your 'celebrities'.

Personally I've never heard of Wayne Bridge, Sam Quek, Adam Thomas, Joel Dommett or Ola Jordan but I'm happy to believe that they're celebrities for others.

I switched on last night and switched off after 20 minutes. The line up is dreadful.

There are more celebrities standing in my local post office queue.

Id say only one of thems NOT a celeb and it's her off gogglebox. I know i've not heard of a few like sam quek or joel. Or have heard of them but couldn't have told you who they were like jordan banjo and wayne bridge but they all have careers that justify being on im a celeb.

I actually think it's one of the stronger line-ups for some time. Pleasantly devoid of the American 'models' or Playboy bunnies that we usually have and only one proper Reality TV star in Scarlett from Gogglebox, in comparison with the 15 TOWIE/Geordie Shore/Made in Chelsea people that pop up in all other reality shows.

If you are referring to Larry Lamb if you actually bothered you would find that he has done more than appear in a soap, but I suspect it's only sad muppets like me who would know that.

It's a good lineup this year. I know/have heard of all them bar Joel. I can see why people might say Scarlett doesn't deserve to be on there but love her on gogglebox. The rest are known enough to be on IAC. I feel like people have just gotten used to complaining about lineups, that they don't realise a good one when they see one.I'm very happy there is no one from those three reality TV shows

Wayne Bridge was a famous-ish footballer although I wouldn't have recognized him from his face! Er.. never heard of the stand-up comic guy or the guy from Diversity or the Olympic gold winner or... well most of 'em really! Carol Vorderman is the most famous, I reckon.

Father of the more famous George Lamb?

Just because you haven't heard of them, it doesn't mean they arent celebs. I knew every one of them apart from Sam.

Exactly. Nearly all of them qualify as celebs.

Who had heard of Lady C before last year and was the runnaway star of the show for good and bad reasons. I think the more famous the person, the more guarded they are as they have more to lose if they are a nightmare on the show. You wouldn't want a big bone fide star to act like Gillian McKeith or Gemma Collins- would ruin there career (those two didn't have much of one before anyway so no biggie!)

Me too, it's a great line up, almost a throwback to the early days of the show. I like them all and it's so nice to have a moron-free camp.

I have never heard of the names you mention either, but as with CBB I like getting to know them via these shows.

Some of the best camp mates have turned out to be people I'd never previously heard of.

I am quite liking the line-up this year.

Another sad muppet here. Larry Lamb is a very interesting man. He is the one contestant that I was most looking forward to seeing.

No, I knew that as well, was just exemplifying how ridiculous your point was. Of course I know that Larry Lamb has done more than Eastenders, but then you just concentrate on, say, one aspect of Jordan banjo's career (Diversity have been highly successful since BGT). Ola Jordan, known for Strictly (which you just brand as nonsense), but a highly successful dancer in her own right.

So, really, I was just using your own logic back at you. See how it works? At least I know enough about the cast not to just sideline an Olympic gold medallist as a nobody and wanabee

I must say I saw a clip on This Morning of Carol V and Olga Whatshername and I will tell you this for nothing.

You could offer me £10million pounds and I would not stand on that girder.

So hats off to anyone who could have done that. I most certainly could not.
