I was on the saturday morning tv show Motormouth many years ago, Bloke I used to work with often bullied Bradley from S Club Seven for his dinner money

My old boss was scouting for Charlton and met Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Jermain Defoe when they were well young, I remember him coming into work talking about them and to watch their careers as they are gonna go far.

-All my mates in the school football team at the time got interviewed by Reporting Scotland with Berti Vogts.

-A guy in the year below me in school was in the Clydesdale Bank adverts.

The other half got interviewed by sky sports after a Liverpool game...He was also on a show that Natalie Cassidy (sonia from 'stenders) did about Nikole Lowe setting up her own studio. You can see him getting tattooed in the background by Tass.

I was in the crowd for a news piece once when I was about 12...me and all my mates piled down there, and were the typical meerkats at the back all trying to outdo each other behind the presenter.

Me dad has also been on a TV quiz show called "one to Win" think it was a channel 5 jobby,

One of my best mates from school is a rugby player, so he's on tv whenever Gloucester or Scotland are playing.

Another mate from school cycled around the world, and is currently cycling the americas... Mark Beaumont.

I was on Bravo - Booze Britain i think. My old boss, his mates and some staff went out on the lash and were filmed doing so. He thought it would give us a bit of free publicity. I was in the background a few times when they were doing traffic light strawpedos. The evening was mostly over by 1am but the clever editing made it look a lot better than the evening actually was. The peterborough one was lame in comparison to some of the others they filmed. We were all filmed havin a beer after work and fooking about in the pub after hours but it didn't make it on air.

My brother was on tv starting stages on the Lombard RAC rally as a marshall years ago. In the days when stages were done in clumber park and kielder forest

Lad i went to school with is a goal keeper for someone i can't remember. He's a few years younger and his brother was in my year. Luke Steele, he played for POSH then went to a premiership team - i think.

Another fella i know is an actor and has been a doctor in Hollyoaks, his dads MP for Huddersfield Barry Sheerman, he was on BBC this morning.

I know a fella who was head of the serious fraud squad who was on newsnight quite often.

i was interviewed along with other meg members at santa pod last year for panorama, they had a camera set up in the car for the strip and also pf member percybigun had a reporter in car up the strip. (which was rather surprising it was allowed)
they were doing a documentary on fuel prices and 'mondeoman'
sadly i ended up on the cutting room floor as i wasnt good on camera but percy was star of the show, they even sent him on an eco driving course in his supercharged and nos'd mondeo and filmed that lol. it was aired about this time last year

My sister was a contestant on the kids tv show 50/50 about 11 years ago

My dad was the focal point on a small ten minute bbc2 documentary about a school reunion him and a friend organised, that attracted about 85% of his old school year, from about 35 years ago, with people coming from way overseas to attend.

My uncle has been on many short tv things, like local news etc for his work with the community, and for his zany music.

And apparently I was spotted on the bbc, 4 laps from the end of this years British Grand Prix, in the luffield terrace with my two mates.
