	Samantha (Janus) Womack - actress last seen in Eastenders (I also think she represented us in Eurovision once) Alex Kingston - another actress last seen in Dr. Who Celia Imrie - great actress Patrick Stewart - British Shakesperian actor who will always be remembered for the phrase 'Make it So' John Barnes - ex-Footballer Gregg Wallace - Greengrocer, now a Z list celeb. Annie Lennox - Singer and human rights activist - this should be interesting for those who have Scottish relations. All in all a good mix :-D
