Celebrities back in 'normal' jobs?
Discussion
Thinking last night while her indoors (honest) was watching celeb big brother. That Kerreh Katona bird... what happens when she runs out of money?
Clearly she wont sing anymore (did she even in the first place?) and im sure she can last another 5 years on crappy celeb shows. But what happens then? She's clearly been in money troubles and scrapes a living going from celeb show to celeb show.
So what celebs do you now know of back in 'normal' jobs? I believe the East 17 boys went back to being roofers. What about any others?
As you can tell, im full of thought provoking intelect this morning

They can always land a job in PR or something that requires a face, albeit an ugly one. Let's face it, most of us don't have the celeb thing on our CV and manage. Clearly some of them are as thick as pig sh8t and i'm struggling to think what sort of job requires experience in being spit-roasted by footballers and ilk. But if you can sing, dance or tell jokes [badly] then you will find work.
Not really a celebrity as such, but there was a pub where my folks have a holiday home that was ran by an ex premiership footballer, nobody well known but he had pictures all over the wall of him in the team line up with some big stars, shaking Mandelas hand etc... Apparently had some big gambling problem and when I was up there the other week he was selling bacon butties and ice creams from a van down by the beach, seems he works for a local estate now as an odd job man. Decent enough bloke by all accounts and seems to be taking it all in his stride.
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.

Not quite a celebrity, but the breakfast show presenter on Rock Radio used to play guitar with Nazareth.
I met him a couple of years ago, before he got the radio gig, he was driving delivery lorries for Asda, when i worked there as a student.
