[Ginger drink]

Rhydian - X factor

Leon Trotsky

(well someone had to say it so it might as well be me.)

A rather unfortunate incident with a pickaxe I believe.

The Thompson twins.

Abi Titmuss - classic tabloid fodder of the early 00s.

I cared for her mum when she was in hospital. Abi is really lovely and sweet to her Mum.

Really, really random! He’s married to Sarah Michelle Gellar, so he presumably did it as a passion project rather than because he needed the money!

He voices Kanan in Star Wars Rebels Series!

Whatever happened to all those singers that were promoted as the next big thing, hyped up, in all the mags and they had one or two big hits and disappeared?
Little boots
Sam Sparro
David Jordan
Dizzee Rascal
Honeyz (yep i know they were on Big Reunion but not heard from them since)
The 411- loved them
Hepburn
Mini Viva

husband shared a house with littleboots and I think he still has contact with her. I’ll ask him in the morning!

What ever happened to Howard from the Halifax advert? He was from down my way, saw him working in my local branch once as a kid.

 

[Stripper Vicar]

Wonder what Dave Benson-Phillips is up to these days. Not seen much of him since Get Your Own Back (which they should totally reboot).

You can hire him for parties and events !! He has an amazon wishlist of things you can buy as payment

As others have said Darius changed his surname to his mothers maiden name because he felt closer to his Scottish ancestry. He went into musicals and married Hollywood actress Natasha Henstridge though they are now divorced. Allegedly he dated Love Islander Amy Hart during a brief period he was separated from Natasha even though on the show she claimed she'd never had a boyfriend.

Oh god Chantelle Houghton,ringing paps every time visit to fucking chavvy Lakeside..Pictured with the guy from crime watch having picnic,paps showed up he knew she had rang them,got his stuff left her there. prat her not him.

Susan Boyle. She's been a bit quiet recently.

This makes me feel so old, but I used to read Fast Forward magazine as a kid, and they were so desperate to make Jimmy Ray a thing. He was like a 50s-style rockabilly wannabe. He had one hit (if you can call it that), called "Are You Jimmy Ray?" Please tell me someone else remembers him?

Loved Fast Forward!

 

[NoseyNiamh]

white dog poo it was everywhere when I was a kid and not a sight of any now Im so dissappointed

Better quality dog food now and no more feeding them cooked bones

 

[StormSolitaire]

Page three girls names, what a throw back! Lucy pinder, Melinda messenger, Nicola McClean and Jo guest seemed to be such big names back then. I remember going to China White and seeing them there thinking this is the place to be They really weren't in the grand scheme of things

Ooh china white, also a ‘what happened to’! What happened to all these bars, clubs, restaurants that were deemed hip and have just disappeared seemingly overnight? I’m not from London but knew all about it from Company mag (another blast from the past)

 

[Lorny]

Oh gosh, yes. Why did she stop being a top model? I never saw what the fuss was about with her.


I loved "Independent Love Song", had it on a compilation tape at the time, reminds me of a family holiday in France driving around playing the tape over and over.

Does anyone remember Jonathan Wilkes, Robbie Williams's "best mate", he had a single out circa 2001 which flopped, I don't think it made top 20, I can't remember how it went now.

Independent Love Song is a class tune. They used it on an episode of Derry Girls and it just triggered a memory, I was very young when it came out but remembered it for some reason.

aww yeah Jonathan Wilkes really did try to make something of himself, wasn’t he in musicals like we will rock you and the rocky horror show? He just died a death though. Was always just Robbie Williams mate unfortunately for him.

 

[Palomina]

Dani Behr. Last in the public eye circa 2009.
Now works in America as an estate agent.

 

[Sticks&Stones]

Daniel Merriweather - Featured on Mark Ronson's Stop Me which seemed to be everywhere in 2007/08. Then released an album, including the single Red, seemed to be one of those destined for success, only to be never heard from again.

Brookside my specialist subject! Philip Olivier aka Tinhead was on Benidorm and also on Four in a Bed with a floating guest house, now he runs a tour bus in Liverpool. Leon Lopez aka Jerome is a director now, his name pops up on Corrie and Hollyoaks credits occasionally. Jacqui Dixon is on Hollyoaks, also had a flop coffee shop in Liverpool. Jen Ellison has a stage school. Nikki Shadwick, the one who played her dad and Sinbad pop up in Scouse plays. Matt Musgrove went into Hollyoaks and sadly died really young, think he was only about 30 god love him

Omg didn't know about Kristian Ealey (just looked him up) how sad, only 38

 

[StormSolitaire]

Eastenders stars who were huge at the time-
Jack Ryder seemed to disappear when he split from Kym Marsh, Michelle Ryan said she was going to Hollywood but didn’t hear anything more and Kara Tointon (think she had a sister too)

Natalie Imbruglia??

I remember on another gossip forum (not tattle) it said she was ‘yachting’- don’t want to think of her like that

 

[Ineedmorecoffee]

Nah, if Neil was Banksy his art would be made of paper mache (making sure to get the PVA glue and water mix in all the nooks and crannies )

Go on, try it y’self!

Someone was asking about the Malcolm in the Middle cast a few pages back, apologies if this has already been posted.
Christopher Masterson played Francis and is the younger brother of Danny Masterson who was in That Seventies Show with Laura Prepon and Christopher dated Laura until 2007. Christopher hasn’t had any major acting roles since Malcolm ended, just a few bit parts. The Masterson family are Scientologists, and presumably through them Laura Prepon got involved in Scientology, but she recently revealed that she’s no longer involved. Danny Masterson is currently in the early stages of standing trial for three rapes, which Scientology is trying to get thrown out of court. I can’t seem to find any details on the trial’s progress more recent than the end of August, but I know these things tend to progress slowly.

Was it called Pugwall?

Yes,he was crazy he tried to get arrested for speeding on his bmx
