Mel C (originally Spice Girls fame)
Her brother is Paul O'Neill who drove for Vauxhall a few years ago.

When he was in the production class his yellow Peugeot 306 carried Northern Star on the side - the name of his sisters solo album.

Various other celbs have turned up in the hospitality suites of the manufacturers over the years.

Were discussing all the A-listers who turn up on the grid for F1 races and just got on to the BTCC and none of us could think of any off the top of our heads. Just a wondering more than anything, couldn't find anything through googling either so thought I'd dip into the PH knowledge pool!

Celebs get onto F1 grids because they get the invites....

Maybe if the BTCC chappies invited a few, they'd turn up. Anything free with champagne attached and they'll be there like a shot, especially if it's televised.

Start a wish list....

Gemma Atkinson....
Any Nuts girls....
Any of Girls Aloud except the ginger one....

Wasn't the tall one with tattoes (?) from Westlife into saloon car racing - would have presumed to see him at BTCC.

Shane Lynch from Boyzone used to race a TVR in British GTs, if that's what you're thinking?

Think he's into drifting these days. I recall he turned out pretty capable in GTs, hats off to him.

As for Mike Brewer - the question was about celebrities. That man has no place on TV, he's bloody shocking.

Doesn't matter. I think he's a legend because he gave me some crisps at the Classic Motor Show, then Edd China gave me a Yorkie!
Come on, you all gotta love Wheeler Dealers, or is it just me?

My Brother loves the show if that is of any comfort to you!

The bloke who played Len in Emmerdale was hanging around with Martyn Bell's crew at Croft last year. Not sure he counts as a celebrity though.
