Who Are These Celebrities?

[Caran]

Started to watch Celebs on the Farm. Who is this motley crew? Only one I knew was Louie Spence. How do you get to be a celebrity when no one knows you.
We watched for two minutes then got rid.

[Baldric]

Was thinking exactly the same, think we lasted about 2 mins as well

[Mamyalynne]

I had to look to see who was in, only know 3.

line-up is as follows....

Louie Spence - Dancer and TV personality

Megan Mckenna - Ex Towie star

Bobby Norris - Ex Towie star

Glen Savchenko - Ex Strictly pro dancer

Sandi Bogle - Gogglebox star

Lorraine Chase - Actress and model

Charlotte Dawson - Ex On The Beach star

[hazydaisy]

Not got a clue
How are they supposed to be celebrities if no one has ever heard of them?

[Mamyalynne]

The very term has been ground right down to mean anyone who has ever appeared on a screen - I feel they have run out of anyone reasonably well known to risk their career on such programmes.

[jno]

anyone of a certain age has heard of Lorraine Chase



Don't know who all the youngsters are, though.

[Baldric]

She ^^^ was the only one I recognised tbh.

[zebo]

Lorraine Chase, Luton Airport, that's the extent of my knowledge. There are far too many non-people on the TV, there's a marry-go-round of programmes for this type of person. There is also among many people the assumption that if you don't take an interest in these non-programmes you're the one at fault. Personally I never watch an amateur talent show, whatever the talent, 'singing', baking etc etc. nor do I watch things like Big Brother Get Me Out of Here. Doesn't leave a lot but I'll survive.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes, I know Lorraine, I will have seen Glen dance and Louie is too loud to miss - Sandi was a good foil for Sandra on Gogglebox.

The rest, I have no clue.

[Caran]

Didn't recognise Lorraine Chase

[douglas9401]

Mr Spence is to be admired for parlaying the splits + screaming queen-ness into an on screen career of sorts.
I get the feeling he's dying on the inside though.

[RobNorth]

The BBC leads the field in this sort of brainless stuff, meant to be ehtertainment for what they perceive as the great unwashed without using any skill, effort or ability. All it does is bore us stiff because the format is always the same - fourteen year old programming executive says "we could like get some people and like fly them to like Peru and they could like learn to ride llamas and we could like have a race at the end - or maybe a Peruvian hat making contest at 15000 feet on oxygen" Result? the numpties at all the otherTV companies do exactly the same and we run out of channels to escape to.
All mainstream TV is now agenda-driven and has become so banal that some bloke and his daughter started up a channel working from a spare room at home which shows only old shows and films, mainly in black and black white, which has taken off like a rocket presumably due to nostalgia. Guess what, the BBC has now copied this and is putting similar stuff on each afternoon - get ready for all the other sheep to follow....

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, I only recognised three of them ,Louie, Sandi from Gogglebox, and Lorraine Chase, and i didnt recognise her until she spoke! She looked so different.

[DarceyK123]

The silly girls turning up in high heels, pink coat, yellow coat, even Lorraine Chase, who I thought would be more level headed, wore a cream outfit.

Err exactly where did they think they were going?!!!

[anneasquith]

Its true........... Some people do anything for money . celebrities my *rse.

[Milo2]

I watched the advert for Celebrity Masterchef and felt just the same.

[Kathyan]

The word 'celebrity' has become a misnomer these days.

[soliloquy]

There's a trail on one of the channels at the moment for "celebrities" driving in some remote place. Another one not to watch!

[andy-hughes]

Whether we like it or not, these shows are cheap to produce, and have good viewing figures, and that combination is catnip to TV schedulers, so we get more and more of them.


I derive no pleasure whatsoever in watching a group of people who are famous for doing one thing well, doing another thing badly - it seems like a waste of time, but as I said, people like these shows, and they watch them.

When the novelty wears off, and it will, they will disappear.

[Kathyan]

I don't watch anything with these so called celebrities in them and I don't watch any of the reality programmes where they get these so called celebrities from either!

[DarceyK123]

I don't mind dipping in and out of these shows if I know who they are but this one, I literally knew 2 people, Lorainne Chase and Louis Spence.

Don't think I will bother with this one again.
