anyone remember this

[R1Geezer]

There was a kid in, i think, the 80's who went on various TV shows as some sort of "expert" on antiques, he was on Wogan and some news shows. Later turned out to be from an entire family of con artists. Later I think he had a sex change. Anyone remember him/her and what became of him/her? thanks

last time I saw (now) her was on The Friday Night Project, the edition with guest host David Tennant (broadcast 5 Jan 2007 I think). Lauren was dressed in the "coat of money" that runs into the audience before one of the ad breaks. I was in the audience for the show, but not near enough the isle to grab a fiver.

I'm sure that I read not too long ago that this person had committed suicide, but I may be wrong as all I can find is this......... http://www.tongs.org....arries/News_July_2005
