Sorry to disappoint you bananarama, but Brian's contract with SM:tv live ("little number"??? most popular kids TV show and the CITV flagship!!!) has just been renewed for a further year.... and counting ... He is still in demand for magazine interviews (this week's Smash Hits

had to buy it!) and personal/guest appearances and was on MTV tonight presenting an award at the Dancestar awards. I understand that there are also a number of things in the pipeline ... or is that what you meant by "disposable"??!!
Narinder has landed herself a dating gameshow, albeit on a minor sattellite channel, Bubble is still working on Chelsea TV and Josh and Stuart are apparently doing a lot of radio work. ( I always said Stu had the perfect face for radio!)
Although Helen seems to have been shunted aside from her position as a BB pundit, I agree with ROB, it would be a shame to see her disappear from our screens altogether.

Although I was never that big a fan, BB3 has made me miss her dreadfully! And how! The powers-that-be in the TV world obviously still think she has a wide appeal, otherwise she would not be asked to appear on GMTV as a pundit, guest presenter, or anything else!
I could be wrong here, but doesnt British TV have a tradition of taking "working class wannabees" to their hearts and turning them into stars? A huge number of TV presenters/actors these days are from working class backgrounds, Carol Vorderman, Cilla Black, Sean Bean, Ioan Gruffydd, Jayne MacDonald (the Cruise, hugely successful album, and a presenting career to follow!) .. too many spring to mind to list!!! Maybe snobbery doesnt rule the roost QUITE as much as you think!!
