As if a Gareth Gates charity single wasn't enough, a celebrity version of Fame Academy begins on BBC 1 tonight raising money for Comic Relief. Bookies favourite to win out of the bunch of celebs is Casualty (and former Hollyoaks) star Will Mellor – they reckon the actor (who, if we remember rightly, once dabbled with a pop career) will beat other contestants Fearne Cotton, Jo Brand, Ulrika Jonsson, John Thomson, Ruby Wax, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Paul Ross and Doon Mackichan. The show will run for a week with the worst performing students being put up for eviction each night.
