The guy is an extremely successful actor, director and screenwriter who has achieved international recognition. As for your view on Sunset Song, while entitled to an opinion, I'm afraid you have chosen the wrong one.

deegee Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Much like Rylan, another reality contestant, Alison Hammond (the fat black lass) who is now a lead presenter on This Morning seems to have been “famous for 5 minutes” on the first Big Brother twenty years ago. She totally vanished from sight until somehow popping back up from nowhere a year or two back as a much loved national treasure! I don’t watch Love Island or the Essex type shows but I’m always amazed at how talentless folk can suddenly become household names overnight. Usually being a cheeky chappy or having your tits and teeth on show seems to be all that is required tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has been on This Morning doing outside broadcasts and so on basically since she left Big Brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Garraway started off maybe as a journalist, a live reporter for local TV news? No idea. Haven’t Googled, just me thinking that. I actually like Rylan Clark as a presenter on TV. Seems a genuinely likeable sort. Rylan is so likeable it's suspicious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got chucked out of Big Brother after footage of him beating a girl with a leather belt emerged. He is a total narcissist c**t & hopefully will be put away in Romania for a long long time, but I doubt it. Well, i got the name right at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 26 minutes ago, jimbaxters said: Her. No-one has ever been able to explain here existence on TV. She comes from a posh, well-connected family who made a few phone calls when she decided she wanted to be on the telly. That's literally all there is to say. It's that easy, and there are plenty of examples. Jack Whitehall had an entire extended showbiz family that worked to make him a star from a very young age. Nigella Lawson's another - given a job in journalism because the editor was mates with her father, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, before transitioning to an "expert at everything" job on This Morning where they'd have her on to comment on literally any story, despite having the presence of an insecure stammering teenager. Given enough opportunities, she eventually managed to find success by doing cookery programmes for people who aren't allowed access to porn. It's decided that these folk are going to be on our screens long before any of them actually are; showbusiness isn't an industry in which cream rises to the top. It was quite amusing to see Jamie Lee Curtis recently claiming the opposite, considering that her parents were massive Hollywood stars and she was openly given her initial roles due to the publicity that her parent's names would bring to the project. They really don't seem to understand how difficult it would be for them to have achieved a fraction of their success without most of it being handed to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
