Jonathan's been on quite a few programmes.

Blankety- Blank, Family Fortunes, and that thing in the jungle, were they called him Mr Tango, and they do an assault course.

Although he would have been brilliant on it, I'm fairly sure he was never on Blind Date.

Apparently one of the cameramen said this is one of the funniest Come Dine With Me, ever.

About the blind date thing G it sticks in my mind because i'm near sure it was in the local paper, because at the time he had a girlfriend, although he didn't get picked on the night, might be wrong, but I think it was the same guy because cilla commented on his permatan

There are some media tarts out there & if that's what does it for them well that's just fine. The problem is when it becomes an obsession & people feel it is their right to be in the limelight & I personally tend to find it rather cringeworthy, especially when they're being embarrassing & making fools of themselves.

This is most noticeable in these make me famous talent shows ? Or the gut wrenching drivel some channels are churning out & classing as entertainment showing teenagers with attitudes & ideas about their own importance & total disrespect for those who would nurture & form them ? Then of course those abject failures at whatever they attempt who then have to get a superwhateverist to show them how it's done ? The TV, assisted by overbearing & interfering Governments have managed in the last 20 odd years to turn a large number of the once self assured, can do, independent thinking, British Public into what you see daily on the gormless box ! It really is such a depressing state.

That said, apparently I was once on the news, I didn't see it myself as I was sat in an APC in the Iraqi desert at the time the footage was taken & then later shown.

Been interviewed on television quite a few times, prattling on about fashion.

Last appearance Granada Reports. A dramatic role, playing a fat Biggins with Parkinson's disease.

Would never apply to programmes, just to fulfil some exhibitionist yearning, though I would like to test myself on Mastermind, as I love the programme, and am not too bad at General Knowledge.

Looks like it wasn't a great experience for one of them, he would rather go to Afghanistan

"Jonny, have you been on the sunbed again?" Sue asks the even-more-orange Jez. The evening ends in Jonny style, with a twin snog for Carol and a session in the hot tub.
"Sue and I have exchanged numbers, and I've got Jonny's just in case," says Carol.

The only time I've seen him keep his clothes on all night was at his wedding.

Looks like he'll be in the plum duff here too.
