Stars Reunite For TV Show

Pull on your leg warmers and don those teeny boppers - a new reality TV show is to hit our screens.

The first show, to be broadcast on Saturday, will feature Gloria Gaynor singing I Will Survive, Howard Jones performing What Is Love, Limahl singing Too Shy, and Tiffany giving a rendition of I Think We're Alone Now.

I am looking forward to seeing this, quite a good line-up.

sound good .. but does anyone remember cleopatra .. they were a all sister pop group in the 90's ... they also had the own t.v show .
they just poped to mind

yeah i remember them I saw Cleo when I saw Blue in my home town last year. Im going to watch this too

i dident think that there was tat many people in it

Tiffany won this week. Shaking Stevens is on next week

by any standards, this was a weak show, personified by a weak host-vernon kay

What about THAT polar neck!

I agree cc, vernon Kay just doesn't transfer to prime time telly. He was fine on T4, but he was poor on that Girls and Boys thing as well.

As for his simpering wife, she is tooooooo sickly for me. She only had one decent TV moment for me. Alongside a certain co-presenter on Exclusive.

I didn't sit through the whole 'Hit me baby' experience. I just say Tiffany and thought she was well average for a minor club act. Good grief. And SHE won? How bad were the others?

Not seen the show yet, is it any good, I used to love tiffanys song " I think we're alone now"

It's pretty good, they sing one of their famous hits and a cover of a recent song.

do you remember when the papers tried to make out he was after tess daly?(!!):laugh:

Havent seen this yet, but sounds like another method of has beens trying to get their faces back into the public eye. However no doubt my son will be watching this week as when he was young Shakin' Stevens was his favourite. Sad my kids - my daughter liked Rick Astley though she wont admit this now.

Shaking Stevens won last night

He did not even look happy to win.

My son was really pleased and went and got all his old Shaky records out after the programme. Must agree with others though Vernon is rubbish.

Anyone know who won this - missed it as we off gallivanting. Would love to know who came out top.

Thanks for that - my son will be soo pleased.

:thumbs: I missed it and all but found out on the website, do you know what the prize was?

i wanted Tiffany to win
