I'm A Celebrity: Boris Johnson's dad Stanley in confirmed line-up www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41984646Not that I would ever watch the show, or ever have, but who are this lot? Stanley Johnson Amir Khan Shappi Khorsandi Jamie Lomas Jack Maynard Jennie McAlpine Georgia "Toff" Toffolo Rebekah Vardy Vanessa White Dennis Wise Well, I guess I know who Amir Khan is, and Dennis Wise if it is the same one. But really? Celebrity is a much over-used term, and seemingly quite unsuitable in this case. Would anybody here confess to watching it? |

The only names I recognise are:
- Amir Kahn (boxer - but he doesn't need the money surely)
- Dennis Wise (an old footballer - might need the money)
And then we now know Stanley Johnson as Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson's father. And he doesn't need the money either....
Others are not celebrities if we do not know who they are!!!

I went to a stage show The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in 2013 with one of my boys. The 'Book' (Peter Jones in the Radio 4 version) was played by a woman I now know to be Shappi Khorsandi.
She was dreadful. Mis-pronouncing names, giggling when it should have been deadpan and generally spoiling our evening. No respect for the audience. No wonder she needs the money.

Absolutely no idea who Georgia Toff Toffolo is, but what an absolutely fantastic monika. Going to change mine, henceforth I shall be Nogbad BAD the Bad

I like Shappi Khorsandi, have heard of a few of the others too. Johnson Snr is an insufferable jobbie, like father like son. Rachel is the decent Johnson. Don't know how she puts up with those two turds. Dennis Wise can alos do one, the little scrote.
Never have watched this programme and don't intend to start now.

Nor me. I want to like Shappi Khorsandi. She has an interesting personal history - born in Iran, came to England as a small child - which she has mined to offer a perspective on being the only brown child in a C of E school. But once she has to go beyond that, her material leaves me cold. Being a little callous, I might suggest she's expended her scarcity value without developing anything of enduring interest to put in its place.

The fact a politician thinks they qualify as a celebrity shouts everything that is wrong in Westminster these days. When did politicians make the cross over to celebrity ?
On the upside, I have signed a pre-contract for 2018 series. I know a bloke who bought Billy Connolly's, next door neighbour, windows cleaner ladder 15 years ago.

That is so unlikely as to be true. Please tell me it is... I so want to know a celebrity, if only virtually.
