They've braved the glare of wall-to-wall cameras and survived. Well, mostly...
Maggot GLC Even before Celeb Big Bro, we loved Maggot. We loved him more than anyone had a right to love anything called Maggot. And just like some kind of mic-rocking pupae, Maggot burrowed into our skin with his combination of modesty and leisurewear. After some nibbling on our heart strings, he emerged a beautiful butterfly of comedy rhymes and illicit substances. Maggot, you're just too fly, and you had us at "I'm just here to make up the numbers."
Preston Ordinary Boy His mum might call him Sam (or Samuel, if he's been very naughty) but the rest of the UK just call him FIT! these days. Preston went from being the cheeky, loveable, FIT bloke out of Ordinary Boys, to the cheeky, loveable, FIT bloke out of Ordinary Boys and Celebrity Big Brother. And while he can no longer pop out for a pint of FITNESS milk, watch a Chigago Bulls match, or visit Westminster without a massive (and possibly unFIT) bouncer clearing the way, that badge in conflict-solving had to be worth it. Right?
Antony Costa So, back to the maggots then, and here's a fella who ate more than his fair share (he probably got to like them in the end) while on I'm A Celebrity. Numerous insects, bits of kangaroos (y'know, the bits that go into making more kangaroos) and even David Dickinson's leftovers didn't escape Ant's dinner plate (we can't confirm the leftovers bit though). But we're still waiting on the fanfare and rise to solo stardom. In fact, bizarrely, the only thing Ant reckons he got from doing the show was thinner. Well, kanagaroo wotsits y'see - very low in calories.
Peter Andre We can't say the same for Peter Andre though. A spell in the bush turned out to be just what the Aussie washboard needed, careerwise. Between seeing 'Mysterious Girl' being brought back from the
dead, and 'Insania' being 'conceived' and then let loose on the unsuspecting public, Pete also found the love of his life in the form of Jordan. In fact, he's the only celeb to emerge from the jungle and say with a straight face: "I've had bags of fun!" Respec'!
Liz McLarnon But as happy as Pete was, he didn't have nearly as sweet a deal as Liz McLarnon. Our Liz became the kitten who got the coconut cream during her stay on Celebrity Love Island, where she had nothing to do but a) lie in the sun, b) eat the fine food and drink on offer and c) try not to fall into any of Paul Danan's purpose-built lady traps. These were cunningly fashioned using sticky old pants for nets, and unwanted nose hair for tripwire. One close call almost saw Liz drown in Danan slobber, but thankfully, she was airlifted out before it got into her lungs. Isabella Hervey wasn't so lucky.
