I haven't seen the list of contestants yet, but I always find I only know one "celebrity" the others are usually reality tv contestants and I don't watch those programmes 🤣

I only know "H" and Charlotte from Geordie Shore - only because my daughter watched it!

Ahh yes, my daughter enjoys some of those programmes too. I only know who Charlotte is because she is literally on every celebrity programme going 🤣

I'm excited too, but again, I only know 'H' from Steps! I thought maybe it was my age, but I'm reassured to see that you two don't know them either as you are both spring chickens!!!

I like 'H', but wasn't he the villain in Line of Duty?

Love that you consider me a spring chicken Kay! I have just had a look at the line up. I recognise Kellie from Eastenders back in the day when I used to watch it, so about 30 years ago! How is that possible?
Charlotte is one of those reality tv stars that literally goes on every celebrity programme going, which is why I know who she is.
Everybody knows H.
The comidien I think I have seen on something else too 🤩

Obviously being a Geordie, I know who Charlotte is!
Is anyone multi-tasking and doing a bit of sewing while watching?

Doing some knitting while watching, and just poured a Prosecco and Chambord, which might put an end to the knitting!

Having just sewn with sequins for the first time I'm wondering if Esme made her top and did she snip off all the sequins in the seam allowance?!

I made a rectangle panel then little squares I then made crochet Westie (our Buttons breed) and embroidered numbers on the squares. Found it when got the ornaments out and felt quite impressed I managed it all those years ago.

One of my favourite Christmas Number 1s ever is probably Boney M - Mary's Boy Child, so I'd have to come up with something inspired by that!
