Celebrity Fame Academy

Celebrity Fame Academy line-up revealed - Feb 27 2007

This year’s Celebrity Comic Relief Fame Academy line-up was announced - with the likes of socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Extras star Shaun Williamson, Birds Of A Feather actress Linda Robson and Radio 1 DJ Colin Murray taking part.

One of the 13 contestants will be kicked off the first BBC1 show this Saturday. Only 11 celebrities will make it into the Fame Academy house after a second contestant is booted out on Wednesday.

The other wannabe singers are Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon, Mel Giedroyc from comedy duo Mel and Sue, sports presenter Ray Stubbs, comedian Rowland Rivron, presenter Angellica Bell, broadcaster Fred MacAulay, actress Miranda Hart, comedian Tim Vine and Heartbeat’s Tricia Penrose.

Ricky Gervais will also make an appearance with Extras co-star Stephen Merchant - as guest supporters of Shaun.

Claudia Winkleman will co-host with Patrick Kielty.

This year, when not being put through their paces by head teacher Richard Park and vocal coaches David and Carrie Grant, the celebrities will be holed-up in a plush location next to the River Thames in London.

Tara said today she would have no problem living with the other celebrities.

"I went to boarding school, and then another boarding school," she said, "followed by finishing school and so I know everything about living with other people."

The former I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star added: "It’s much more scary singing in front of millions of people than being in the jungle. I’ve already humiliated the whole family anyway."

"I’ll cause chaos," she added, "that’s because of inbreeding in the family."
