Justin Lee Collins - though the domestic abuse conviction wouldn't have helped!

You don't want to google her now...

Cheers for that, couldn't remember her name for toffee.

Danny Baker - he was on everything.

I suppose the last hurrah for them is the jungle one with Ant & Dec, or Big Brother, if that's still going.

A quick google and the first thing to pop up...
Mark Lamarr was arrested on September 1, 2018, and was charged with assault and false imprisonment. He was due to appear in court on October 1, 2018, but last night the CPS dropped his case. A spokesman said: “We concluded that there was insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.”

Google a bit further and he was issued an apology by the CPS who said the case should never have been brought in the first place.

Also this: "The 52-year-old, who was born in Swindon, describes himself as a "reclusive DJ" on his Twitter feed."

Philippa Forrester?

The fun bit of Wikipedia entries is trying to read between the lines.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippa_Forrester

After reading Philippa Foresters page, Jayne Middlemiss, where’s she gone?

She presents on Absolute Radio on a Sunday evening

Her and PF - had a crush on them both in my teen years!

That's the thing, most "celebs" seem to bounce along the sea bed doing stuff like this; it's the ones that just disappear I find so odd.

I can imagine some female ones start a family and want to retire from the limelight. Or they've made their money and have had enough.

Also Anthea Turner, Ulrika Johnson and the one with a big bum that jumped out of helicopters and ran around a lot.

Natasha Kerplunski, last heard of in the tumbleweed wasteland of C5 .

Nice move Nat.

Big Bottom helicopter girl was Anneka Rice and she has been making a comeback of late.

Anthea Turner crops up in various magazine my wife reads, like Good Housekeeping.

Ulrika was a self confessed sex addict - wish she lived here............

Interesting read : Former Top Gear presenters

http://home.bt.com/pictures/tv-news/12-top-gear-pr...

Brendan Coogan (Steve Coogan's brother) was a near miss as he threw away his chances by getting a Drink Drive conviction immediately after starting at Top Gear. Apparently, the police asked him what he did for a living after taking the sample and told him "you plum we would not have recorded it if we had known".

Having said that, I know a solicitor that was let off drinking and driving due to the impact it would have on his career. The last time I heard of him he was living on the streets which may have had more of an impact on his career.

I am sure this would not happen today and both the examples above are over 20 years old.

Neil Morrissey owns and runs a couple of pubs in Staffordshire, he was on Ch4's Sunday Brunch talking about them a few weeks back.

He's also just been in two series of ITV's The Good Karma Hospital playing a guy running a beach bar in India.

Cat Deeley went off to the US about 10 years ago to present trashy reality shows Top Models and more X Factor clones. Probably made a fortune.

Peter Kay still does that car share thing doesn't he? Anyway, I seem to recall he managed to get 2 massive tours and even 2 DVDs out of the same 'Garlic Bread!' set somehow, then decided he didn't like be famous anymore and took a long time off. I don't think he cares about celebrity much.

Vernon Kay got caught Sexting with some SM followers which ruined his image because his fan base seemed to be older bitter divorced Women.

Killroy Silk went off to join UKIP then left because they wouldn't treat him in a god-like way to start his own party. I think most people worked out he's a deeply unpleasant Narcissist, even by TV wker standards.
