The other night I happened to be watching Channel 5 (a rare thing in my TV calender) when "TV's Most Embarrasing Moments" came on. I thought to myself, I bet there'es some real belters in this compilation! I wasn't disappointed.

Among the list were Richard Maddely's impression of Ali G; that ghastly Tracey Emin drunk at an after awards debate and walking off; Brian Dowling saying the word "minge" on children's TV show SM:TV; the 1989 Brit Awards ceremony with Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox; Glen Medeiros looking extremely embarrased after a panel of judges slatted his record; Two contestants on Countdown finding the word w*****s (amusingly retold by Giles Brandeth); Jemini singing out of tune during the Eurovision; and Sam Fox (again!) drunk mumbling indecipherably in a Vampire costume attacking her co-host. It was all really cringeworthy stuff, and some I hadn't seen before.

Although Changing Rooms managed the no 1 slot revealing some Goth-looking dungeon for a sitting room, the most embarrasing cringing moment for me was Geri Halliwell's attempt at acting in Sex and the City . It was so bad I had to avert my eyes and cover my ears! Poor Kim Cattrall who had to look into her eyes during that performance. Poor lass. It was terrible. Now I know why Hollywood producers laughed at her attempts during her audition for Charlie's Angels.
