Soho celebrity spots 2: From Sykes to Littlewood...
A couple of weeks ago, I posted an entry about Spots - the new celebrity identifying game that is the talk of Incisive Media's business IT titles. Well, production desk head honcho Simon Turner seems mildly obsessed with it, anyway.
For uninitiated noobs, the game involves creating a definitive list of Spots (a spot being a celebrity that is clocked by a technology journalist in Soho during working hours).
January spot's included a few high points, such as wildlife chief Bill Oddie, and some other points, including lots of comedians (see Further reading, below: Celebrity Soho Spots, From Oddie to Mortimer). Here's the updated list:
Spots since mid-afternoon, 30 January
- 30/1/08 - Professional northerner Melanie Sykes
- 30/1/08 - Big Brother 1's Melanie Hill
- 31/1/08 - Big Brother presenter Davina McCall
- 1/2/08 - Not sure really's Kelly Osbourne
- 4/2/08 - Radio and other stuff's Edith Bowman
- 5/2/08 - Hellboy Ron Perlman
- 6/2/08 - Armstrong and Miller's Alexander Armstrong
- 8/2/08 - Armstrong and Miller's Alexander Armstrong
- 8/2/08 - Big Brother Celebrity Hijack winner John Loughton
- 11/2/08 - Madge's hubbie Guy Ritchie
- 11/2/08 - Ballroom dancing's Dominic Littlewood

I am not obsessed and Guy Ritchie is Mr Madonna. Can't think who in EastEnders you thought he was...
Who keeps spotting Big Brother 'stars'? I think we should be told...

Napalm Death.
They weren't in Soho but underneath. On the tube. Shane and Barney during commuter rush hour. Lovely boys.
Does that count.
