He appeared on "John Bishop's Britain" as a "prize-winning cheesemaker" or something

Micky Hazzard is now a black cab driver.

Roy Wood now lives in Yeavesley in Derbyshire, apparently he lives really quite well of royalties.

Thinking last night while her indoors (honest) was watching celeb big brother. That Kerreh Katona bird... what happens when she runs out of money?

Just before she totally runs out of cash, she'll be found dead full of drugs and junkie jizz.

She's a troubled soul and trying to make the best of a fresh start but I think sadly she will end up with a shortened life.

Ex-West Brom player in the 70's runs a pub near me. Some Rugby types have been known to go into the City.

That Jeremy actor bloke from Hollyoaks and...Holby City who used go out with Rachel Stevens was in the papers this week for taking a job as a labourer.

was he the guy that set up and sold a company which supplied equipment to the millitary and made millions from it? (much more money than ever made racing)

Not short of a bob or 2.

I beileve Eddie Irvine now does property development or something along those lines.

[RemainAllHoof]

I suppose we should be happy that they are actually doing honest, average jobs now despite having perhaps had incredible (relatively) income and a lifestyle to match.

I saw that, I think Daily Mail first ran it as a "How the mighty have fallen" story, but he got lots of support from people because he was working for a living.

I bought my last car from ex Norwich City Midfielder Daryl Sutch, who was a car salesman... Very nice chap and a pleasure to deal with.

Irvine was doing property development when he was still racing in Japan before F1.

A very shrewd businessman.

Peter Dean AKA Pete Beale I spotted working for a removal company in the City, loading office crates into a lorry. This is going back getting on for 10 years I guess.

There's 2 distinct groups in this thread.

Those that were 'celebrities' and are now earning a normal living.
those that retired from celebrity and now choose to do "normal jobs"

What about the failed celebrities who are £XM in debt and out of work yet still living multi-millionaire lifestyles? If they’re out of work and £XM in debt than they’re earning £X less than me and effectively have £XM less than me, yet I can barely afford to scrape a humble plebeian existence while they continue to live in sprawling mansions and drive Porsche Cayennes. I don’t get it.

Are you sure they have no income? You are probably much richer than that katona bint. She has massive debts, but still has a decent cash flow, so as long as she can service the debt, and avoid the tax man, she can still live in a big (rented) house and buy flash cars.

She is very stupid though, so the money will run out, and it will most probably end badly for her.

One of my colleagues was a jobbing actor in the 90s. US soaps, that kind of thing. We've yet to unearth any clips, though
