Anyone remember ITV Telethon?
It was like Children in Need, only shit. They had the main fundraising in the studio then cut to various regional locations to show what the locals were doing to raise money. Me, being seven, decided that I really needed to see a third rate STV presenter, who's name escapes me, drinking, swearing and chain smoking when he was not on air and I persuaded my dad to take me down to the city square. The presenter grabbed me and said "Can you sing?". I tried to speak and he said "Good" then someone shoved a microphone into my hand and I was told I was on.

Somewhere, there is a tape of my younger self singing "I Should be so Lucky" on television. This is the reason I can't become famous.

I was also in the crowd of "Get Fresh" and was nearly interviewed by Gaz Top but some bitch pushed in front of me at the last minute.

"I Should be so Lucky"

What a concept!

I too was on the ITV Telethon!
They cut to the Anglia studios and there, behind the be-jumpered real life Alan Partridge whose name escapes me, my seven-year-old self could be seen grinning and waving like a loon.

So. Happy.
