Because I happened to mention off site to Wardy about Olly Murs appearing on Deal or No Deal in 2006, few years before he was on X Factor.



Can you think of anymore examples?

As I said in the other thread Aston appeared on Stars in their Eyes as a child.

Olly Murs is a good example! I’m struggling to think of any more off the top of my head. laugh.gif

Oh Amanda Holden was on Blind Date iirc.

^ that’s how she got famous though laugh.gif

I found this interesting site about famous people (some outside the realm of 00s) who appeared on game shows pre-fame. Webpage Link.

To be fair the biggest wtf on that page is the Mr Gay UK bit:

Anthony Morley was a contestant on God's Gift in 1996. He was convicted of murder in 2008. By coincidence, his victim, Damian Oldfield, was in the audience for Morley's show, having previously been a contestant himself.

Does Dua Lipa featuring in an advert years before she became famous count?



(I know this says 00's but I'm gonna include it as Olly Murs isn't 00's tongue.gif )

Something I would be interested to know is if there is any genuine footage of buskers before they became famous? Does anyone know any examples (from any time period)?

Olly became a star in the 00s though tongue.gif never saw that Dua advert before - or maybe I just never realised it was her!

There's this oddity from Jessie J, I think just before she broke through with 'Do It Like a Dude'

Here's another early Simon Cowell appearance, promoting the single 'Ruff Mix' by Wonderdog which made the top 40 in 1982.

Why does her voice sound so much better/more pleasant here than what we're used to from her?

That's actually really nice! ohmy.gif

Some music video examples:

1. Kesha - she was in Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl music video a year before she broke out (can be spotted around 0:57):




2. Katy Perry - she was an extra in her then-bf's music video for his song 'Cupid's Chokehold', released a year before she broke out:




3. Not actually sure of his name but he appeared in EE as Calum(?) a couple years after he appeared in Lily's 'Smile' video:




4. Don Gilet, who played serial killer Lucas in EastEnders, played Gabrielle's love interest in her 'Out of Reach' video 7 years before his EE stint:




5. Kim Kardashian was in Fall Out Boy's TFTM video a short time before she broke out with KUWTK.

She's not famous (thanks to Louis Walsh) but 'Out of Reach' always reminds me that Maria Lawson (X Factor) has quite prominent backing vocals on that song

I said Hannah Spearitt for Eastenders before, but it was Emma Bunton I was thinking of!
