[rockyracoon]

I know 5. How is Judy Murray a celebrity?

[Mamyalynne]

Managed 11.

[barry1010]

Real celebrities are far too busy for this type of show.

[drmorgans]

I can understand some of them appearing on it, broadening their mainstream appeal and getting to a wider audience, but John Barnes, Matthew Pinsent. Are they bored or is it the challenge?

[barry1010]

It's the money.

Judy Murray is a very well respected tennis coach and often does commentary or analysis on Wimbledon etc.

[Mamyalynne]

A lot also enjoy cooking and a challenge too.

[ummmm]

I know 5.

Like Mamy says...they probably enjoy cooking and I'm sure they'll learn loads.

[chrissa1]

I got 5.

[tiggerblue10]

I recognise or know of 8 of them.

[Chinajan]

I'm sure they enjoy cooking, and being on telly and the appearance fee.

I'm just weary of programme makers dubbing a lot of marginally known people 'celebrities'.

I don't even watch cookery shows - don't know why I got myself exercised about it. :D

[Mamyalynne]

They're just fillers for the schedule and they do get the viewers - certainly makes a change from endless news.

[pastafreak]

I must be very out of touch...I only recognised 2. Jenny Murray and Dominic Littlewood.
I'll watch it anyway because I always enjoy it. It's about the cooking.

[marval]

I looked at the pictures and knew five of them.

[choux]

I went back to check but Jenny Murray isn't there, pasta. Now, Judy Murray ... ;)

Hmmm, obviously as one ages the definition of celebrity changes too.

[Caran]

I recognised 5. Where do they get these people from?

[Mamyalynne]

Other programmes,from sporting circles etc etc

[Mamyalynne]

They didn't just walk along the High Street of Anytowm.
