As usual there are people I've never heard of, but the ones I know should be interesting

Still waiting for Ronnie Wood. If it's too difficult to compress in to an hour, why not a one-off longer episode?

[KGarrad]

Know all of them!
Can't wait.

For those in any doubt:
Ed Balls - former Labour politician & Minister; Strictly Come Dancing Star(?!)
Dame Judi Dench - is there anyone who hasn't heard if her?
Pixie Lott - Singer/Songwriter
Joe Lycett - Comedian and host of Sewing Bee
Alex Scott - Former female footballer (Arsenal & 140 appearances for England); former Strictly contestant; now presents Football Focus
Joe Sugg - YouTuber; former Strictly Runner-Up
Josh Widdicombe - Comedian and co-presenter of The Last Leg, former Taskmaster winner

Thanks. I should have known Alex Scott, footballer, though my first thought was the former Rangers and Everton forward, RIP.

As for Joe Sugg, I've Googled him and I'm none the wiser.

Apparently he’s a you-tuber and globally adored star

I’ve heard of Ed Balls and Judi Dench. I have no particular wish to ever hear about the rest.

“Celebrity” - a person who is famous for being famous!
