Kate Thornton went from presenting the biggest show on TV (X Factor) to pretty much disappearing. I know she has a podcast now (doesn't everyone?) but I haven't seen her on anything else.

Any time Les Battersby is mentioned I'm reminded of the fact that he found one of the Yorkshire Ripper's victims.

Edith Bowman. Haven't heard anything about her for years.
When Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode go on holiday, she takes over the Simon Mayo role on the movie reviews show. She is extremely annoying and makes out she knows everything about film and has seen every film ever. I hate her so much

Tracey Shaw who played Maxine Peacock in Corrie and was a huge tabloid star at the time. Now you never hear of her or see her.
I used to do work as an extra on Coronation Street. A couple of years ago I was on the street when I saw her. I wondered if they were somehow bringing her character back (I know Maxine was killed off but anything is possible in soap land). I think she was just visiting the set. What was endearing is the actress who plays 'Mad' Mary was filming that day - before she was a cast member she was a Corrie super fan and whispered to me "is that Tracy Shaw?" and seemed nervous to talk to her..

Les n Janice battersby from Corrie
I think the actor who played Les fell on hard times. A few years ago he was pararazzied coming out of the job centre. The actress who played Janice got into a twitter spat with Jane Danson over whether Janice should have been brought back for the Oliver death storyline. They were both on Loose Women not too long ago trying to drum up interest in a return of Les and Janice.

Jason Orange and John Deacon
Both are retired from showbusiness and seem to value their privacy. According to the others members of Take That Jason has gone completely off the grid and John Deacon only speaks to the other members of Queen about financial matters.

What about Craig Mclachlan? Did anything come of the indecent assault allegations?
He was found innocent, but the magistrate did say ' "I'm unable to exclude the possibility that an egotistical, self-entitled sense of humour led the accused to genuinely think that … [she] was consenting to his actions," . Ouch!

Nearly all the brookie cast disappeared after it finished. Apart from the woman who played jacqui Dixon is now in hollyoaks (Alex fletcher?)
Sue Johnson and Ricky Tomlinson who played the Grants have done ok for themselves, then there is Anna Friel, Claire Sweeney, Ray Quinn who are still working. Jennifer Ellison runs a successful dance academy in Liverpool. Amanda Burton and Simon O'Brien are still on TV. Can't remember his name but played a policeman in Last of the Summer Wine and was recently in Corrie. (think his name was Lois Emmery)

What about Aygness Deyn the the supermodel who was everywhere for a while? Now you never hear about her?
She married Phoebe’s brother from Friends and then divorced. I think she got remarried and had a baby recently?
Yes he got her into Scientology. I don't think she took to it, unsurprisingly. Probably been on the run from them ever since and trying to get her life back together.

I’m sure during that reunion documentary that 5 were in it was mentioned that Jay has a recording studio in Wales or something. Unless I completely imagined it.

Re Ben from Curiosity Killed the Cat, I remember that Smash Hits magazine always used to talk about how big his feet were! Maybe they were hinting at something.
Ben was on a dating programme recently. He really hasn't aged well :(

Nicky Hambleton-Jones from 10 Years Younger.

Celia Sawyer from Four Rooms who always used to wear those ridiculous leather biker outfits. She also presented some Changing Rooms-style show where she gave a ghastly makeover to a Geordie couple's bedroom, which they rightly hated. The poor woman was trying to be polite but had nothing nice to say so was just speechless. The bloke was just like "this is awful". Hahaha.

The DM published pictures of him walking his dog about 6 months ago. Tried to go with the wow how different does he look.line but tbh he just looked like a normal guy in his 50s walking his dog, greying, bit softer round edges.
