October 29, 20204 yr If he has, I think he's a strong contender for winner from the get go, I get the impression Alfie was SUPER popular on Eastenders to the general public.
October 29, 20204 yr Author If I was predicting the top 3 from that list, I'd say (in no particular order) Beverley Callard, Shane Ritchie, AJ Pritchard. Beverley in particular for me will be a bit of a dark horse I suspect
October 29, 20204 yr Shane Ritchie definitely seems the type who could do well on something like this tbh. But it depends how similar he is to the character of Alfie in real life. Him and Vernon Kay in the same series might split votes actually as I imagine that the both of them are quite similar in a way idk why I just get the feeling personality wise there’s a definite similarity. Soap stars sometimes tend to do well on this though especially ones from Eastenders! We’ve had three winners (i think there could be more) who were ex or current EE actors at the time they went on the show. Praying Jess gets good airtime though. I had a feeling she might’ve done it though as soon as it was confirmed that she was leaving EE. I’m rooting for her but I’ve legit been a fan of hers since the Neon Jungle days.
October 29, 20204 yr Author Had a look at their insta followers, to check back where they are after the show as they usually explode! As with previous years, you can't measure how someone will do at all by their social media. Andy last year had less than 10k followers before the show! Mo Farah - 958k AJ Pritchard - 597k Jessica Plummer - 167k Vernon Kay - 127k Beverley Callard - 24.9k Shane Ritchie - 19.8k Victoria Derbyshire - 10.3k Russell Watson - 3,175 Ruthie Henshall - 2,980 Hollie Arnold - 2,223 I expected Shane to have more tbh, but he doesn't really post much. I'd suspect he will have the biggest follower gains from the show
October 29, 20204 yr Ok so that's 3 I instantly know :lol: And after googling everyone I now know a member of Neon Jungle & Liz from Corries real name. Rest were complete discoveries.
November 5, 20204 yr Just had a google of Jordan and I do recognise him. We share the same birthday too (and the same name :lol: ) Giovanna I think will get big public support!
November 6, 20204 yr Jordan North is going to be "in at" the deep end doing this show. :lol: I was trying to think of an 'in at' joke myself but it just wasn't coming to me.
November 7, 20204 yr AJ Pritchard has come down with COVID apparently. He’s isolating and producers are hoping he can still take part in the show ! Edited November 7, 20204 yr by troylovesmusic
November 8, 20204 yr If he’s just begun isolating he might not be able to go in on day one but with something like this it’s probably better he withdraws. When does the show begin airing like shouldn’t they all be self isolating or something now?
