Julia Bradbury

Julia is co-presenter of BBC One's Watchdog and it was her colleague Nicky Campbell who suggested that she take part in this year's competition. Over the summer Julia satisfied her passion for extreme sports by completing a documentary about the selection process for the world-famous Red Arrows, which saw her get not one, but two opportunities to fly in the famous jets. Julia is also working on a BBC One special documentary entitled 'Speed' which examines the consequences of dangerous driving and will be broadcast next Spring. Julia has previously had singing lessons as she was keen to experiment with her voice but it was for fun rather than with an eye to a live primetime entertainment show.

Tony Christie

During the 1970s Tony sold over 10 million records worldwide, but it was his 2005 Comic Relief recording of Is This The Way to Amarillo? which fired his recent success. Amarillo was the top single of 2005 with seven weeks at Number One and Tony's album, The Definite Collection, followed suit reaching the top of the album and download charts. He was then awarded the freedom of Amarillo in Texas and took a guest role in Emmerdale.
