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.
I think it's one of the weakest line ups for years. I'm glad there's hardly any reality 'stars' in there because they just spoil it with the way they talk but the people in there are just B list celebs with the exception of a couple. I mean. the comedian bloke. Who's he when he's at home? With the exception of Carol Vordeman and Larry Lamb they're not exactly household names. You'd only know them if you watch what they're in unlike someone like Eric Bristow who everyone had heard of even if you hated darts. |

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.

I was struck by the fact that I knew all but two of them. I think Scarlett's stretching the 'celebrity' title a bit, but I knew who she was. The only two I didn't know were Joel and Sam. I've just never come across Joel before, but really liking him so far.
The only reason I don't know Sam is because I'm not from the UK. If it was an Irish Olympian, I'd certainly know him/her.Great line-up. |

I think Olympic gold medallists deserve to be in the spotlight and are definitely celebrities. |

Well, I don't watch that dancing nonsense on BBC, as for BGT oh please.
![]() Any more than any of the others on the show are non-entities just because I haven't heard of them. (Only heard of Carol, Lisa and Larry). |

I'd say it's a refreshing change to have (that gogglebox girl excluded) celebrities who are actually famous for having some sort of talent and working hard to get where they are from the usual talentless reality show circuit workers from TOWIE, made in Chelsea, ex on the beach etc

Speaking of george what happened to him he was all over tv a few years ago but he disappeared
I'd imagine no-one wants to work with him as he's such a knob, possibly his Dad still gets him a bit of work, knowing a few people in the business
