More talent show nonsense, and we've kind of been ignoring the latest Comic Relief supporting Celeb Fame Academy show, Patrick Kielty's slightly homophobic remarks aside, but in case you want to know TV presenters Zoe Salmon and Angellica Bell, comedians Fred MacAulay, Mel Giedroyc and Tim Vine, actress Linda Robson and comedy types Rowland Rivron and Miranda Hart have all been voted off the show, leaving Radio 1 type Colin Murray, sports presenter Ray Stubbs, Extras star Shaun Williamson, actress Tricia Penrose and whatever-she-is Tara Palmer-Tomkinson in the running. The celebrity warbling continues until the horror that is Red Nose Day this Friday.
More amusing than all that are the reports that Red Noses have been banned from the Fame Academy show because they breach health and safety regulations at the venue where the show is filmed. Apparently the noses are too flammable to be worn at London's Grade II-listed County Hall where the show is made - with a spokeswoman for the show apparently telling reporters: "We have to comply with health and safety rules - it's not a conventional TV studio. It's not just red noses, it's papers, bottles and bags as well". Which I find really hard to believe - there was definitely plenty of paper around the last time I went to the BPI's County Hall offices. And at least one bottle and four bags.
