I'll come up with a better title hopefully but I'm talking people on quiz, game & talent shows that you recognise have been on more than one of those shows.

 

Yinrun (BB 2023) was on The 1% Club last month (filmed before BB). There's someone I've seen do the rounds on The Chase, The Wheel and Impossible, though it's quite common that you'll get invited to do another quiz shows if you do well on one sometimes.

 

Also, there's:

 

- Darius (Popstars, Pop Idol 2001)

- Kevin Simm (Popstars, The Voice UK 2016)

- Jai McDowall (X Factor 2010 - not shown, BGT 2011)

- The Mend (X Factor 2011 - not shown, BGT 2012)

- Stephanie Nala (BGT 2013 - with Luminites, X Factor 2014)

- Jamie Miller (X Factor 2016 - not shown, The Voice UK 2017)

- Dylan Holloway (X Factor 2012 - with MK1, Project Icon)

 

Quite a few people from Voice UK and X Factor ended up on the short-lived Starstruck too (including Treyc "whenever you're ready" Cohen).

The era of Netflix reality shows means this is now becoming a pretty common thing (and from what I can see seems to be fairly common in US reality shows anyway, Netflix not taken into consideration). They have their pool of shows, and take contestants from each of them to form casts for other shows. I quite like that you can see people from certain shows in a different light on different types of reality shows, but other times it can be tiring (see: those that appeared in Too Hot to Handle going on to appear in Perfect Match, etc).

 

Joey Essex - with his most recent appearance on Love Island - is the biggest UK name I can think of that pops up on literally every reality show going. :lol:

Lorna Bliss the Britney impersonator on Britain's Got Talent and the X Factor from 2011 and 2012.

Two repeated episodes of Only Connect (featuring teams who had competed in earlier series) are now Chasers. One of them, Mark Labett, has been on at least one other quiz show.

There’s an old lady called Carolynne that appears on every gameshow going.

 

Temping Fortune, Debatable, The Chase, Cash Trapped, Impossible and Pointless come to mind - and there’s definitely been some others.
