Britain’s ten most desperate celebrities: The star who calls the paps on themselves. The one who begs us to write about her. And the ultimate fame desperado. Our showbiz snitches’ secrets list that exposes the truth stars will HATE

BBG News

It can be challenging to discern authentic talent from artificial fame in a world where even the brightest stars may wear masks as thin as their veneers, referring to Hollywood or the entertainment industry.

Some well-known figures gracefully navigate an environment filled with numerous media engagements and substantial income, whereas others accept any available job in their struggle to remain prominent.

In truth, there’s never been a greater number of chances for reality TV or celebrity-oriented game shows. These platforms seem to be the go-to destinations for individuals yearning for fame.

So who would sell their own grandmother (or at least OnlyFans feet pictures) for a brand deal?

Here’s the current ranking by our Showbusiness team of the top ten celebrities who seem to be yearning for attention the most in the entertainment industry right now…

1) Katie Price

Gather your hands, everyone, for the unrivaled outlaw supreme! Over a span of thirty years, she has consistently sought the limelight, and now, there’s only one contender who can rightfully claim the throne as the undisputed queen of being overly eager.

Katie Price has a long history, spanning multiple instances, of appearing on reality TV shows and dating men, all aimed at maintaining her presence in the media spotlight.

Ever since her appearance as a Page 3 girl in the 90s, her 47-year-old visage has grown progressively taut, causing worry among her devoted followers. However, this hasn’t deterred her from undergoing more cosmetic procedures, such as her recently acquired Brazilian Butt Lift that she claimed to have gotten during her lunch break.

Regardless of her recent efforts to regain attention through a memoir and various television documentaries, she has lost media favor due to her unpredictable behavior patterns.

At a recent literary event, the once-crowned “Jungle Queen” performed a loud and piercing version of the ’90s dance anthem, “Everybody’s Free,” and passionately criticized reporters present for their alleged negative coverage.

However, just a short while later, she discretely pleaded with the authors on site to feature herself and her group in their work, as they were already being captured by photographers her team had invited.

In my experience as a lifestyle advisor, I’ve encountered individuals who, due to financial missteps, have found themselves declaring bankruptcy more than once. In a bid to rebuild their finances and regain control, some have resorted to unconventional methods such as joining OnlyFans and sharing content that is, to put it mildly, graphic in nature. While this path may seem extreme, it underscores the lengths people will go to when faced with financial hardship and the need for quick income. It’s always important to remember that every situation is unique and what works for one person might not be suitable for another.

One sympathetic companion observed, ‘It’s truly unfortunate and disheartening,’ expressing concern over a friend who once shone brightly following the success of her 2021 documentary with son Harvey. However, it seems she keeps undermining that potential.

2) Lily Allen

Lily Allen, after parting ways with actor David Harbour from Stranger Things this year, has once again grabbed attention – and it’s quite evident!

Each passing week seems to bring fresh insights into her personal life, making one headline after another. I’m consistently captivated by the details that unfold.

The artist explained that her comment about her kids ruining her career was not meant to imply dislike, confessed to undergoing a secret breast augmentation after her high-profile divorce, and discussed the amount of abortions she’s experienced in the past.

Moreover, it’s hard to overlook the urgent quest for noticeable recognition as she started sharing pictures of her feet on her OnlyFans platform.

All of which might be more palatable were she not, our sources claim, so difficult to work with.

A staff member who’s worked with her shared this perspective: ‘Despite her career being passed down from her famous father [actor Keith Allen], one might expect more humility from her. However, she is among the most challenging celebrities I’ve had to deal with. She behaves like a petulant child when things don’t go her way, and we’ve even added her to our blacklist in our WhatsApp group for TV and radio production staff.’

3) Lizzie Cundy

Anyone acquainted with the TV personality and ex-WAG, Lizzie Cundy, would confirm that she always finds it hard to pass up an opportunity for a lively gathering at the age of 57.

According to one person’s words: ‘Lizzie would attend the unveiling of a potato chip bag, if she learned that cameras were present.’

Apart from posing for photographers, Lizzy consistently shares an uninterrupted sequence of retouched Instagram pictures, providing a behind-the-scenes look at her life to her numerous admirers, when she’s not doing so.

When asked about how she’s managed to stay relevant throughout the years, the ex-wife of Chelsea footballer Jason Cundy replied: ‘The key is staying afloat amidst the competition; otherwise, you might sink. I’ve leveraged my WAG status to the maximum, wrote a book, performed in a musical, and even had a TV show.’

‘You have to keep reinventing yourself, keep moving.’

4) Tallia Storm

A relatively unknown Scottish singer, often referred to as a pop star, has found herself frequenting the reality television scene due to her mother’s persistent efforts to boost her career for more than ten years.

Despite Tessa Hartmann, aged 55, gaining modest recognition as a Housewife of Jersey, her 26-year-old daughter remains on the brink of major success.

Initially, she gained media attention at age 13 when she landed a supporting role for Sir Elton John during his concert in Falkirk, an opportunity that came about following her parents’ approach to Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish while they were vacationing in Hawaii.

However, despite Tallia’s determined attempts, such as participating in The X Factor and numerous other efforts, her burgeoning music career hasn’t gained traction, given that it is primarily supported by her wealthy father.

To draw attention, she managed to secure a spot on Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating, known for her previous relationship with Brooklyn Beckham.

However, the bearded vocalist found himself feeling awkward later on, as Brooklyn Beckham, the oldest son of Posh Spice and David Beckham, publicly refuted rumors that they had ever been romantic partners by posting about it on Instagram.

5) Lottie Moss

Lottie, the youngest sibling of the globally recognized supermodel Kate Moss, has attempted to mirror her sister’s fashion career path by participating in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein and gracing the cover of French Vogue in 2016.

Yet, it’s notable that her most recognized event was tripping over a trash bag as she departed the exclusive lounge, Chiltern Firehouse.

A clumsy fall in painfully tall heels made headlines, yet a confidant of her sister Kate reveals that the situation might not have been as it appeared.

Our informant commented, ‘It wouldn’t surprise me if she intentionally tripped for the sake of drawing attention. She seems to enjoy being in the spotlight and is resorting to more and more extraordinary actions to achieve it.’

Over the past few years, she’s set up an OnlyFans profile and started a podcast in which she chats with other rising stars about her dramatic love life and dating experiences. She also appeared on the Netflix game show, Celebrity Bear Hunt, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been renewed for another season.

She has also opened up about checking into rehab after a ‘really bad’ cocaine addiction in 2022.

A friend of Kate shared that she feels ‘ashamed’ about her 27-year-old half-sibling, who has recently earned a reputation as the ‘prodigal member’ within the family circle.

6) Ella Morgan

Among lesser-known celebrities who often steal the limelight at such events, there’s no denying that Ella Morgan, a star from the reality show ‘Married At First Sight’, stands out the most.

After appearing on Channel 4’s dating show, the 31-year-old has also modeled for the now defunct fashion brand Pretty Little Thing. Subsequently, she announced her ambition to become a presenter, which led to her securing her first opportunity as the host introducing Girls Aloud at the 2024 Brighton Pride parade.

She was still seeking love on TV, and later became a trailblazer by participating in Celebs Go Dating – the first transgender individual to appear on the show.

It’s unfortunate for Ella that her desperation is quite noticeable in this field, as it’s easily detectable by those within the industry.

‘Instead of the paps chasing her, she chases them.

She strongly believes she belongs among the elite celebrities due to her appearance on MAFS, and her behavior reflects this, almost as if it’s become an integral part of who she is.

7) Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu

Things appeared to be progressing quite favorably for Ekin Su when she emerged victorious on Love Island in 2022 alongside ‘Italian Stallion’ Davide Sanclimenti. Her bold, straightforward demeanor quickly earned her the title of a much-loved national treasure.

The 30-year-old individual was labeled as ‘exceptional among all competitors’ on the popular ITV dating program, and subsequently secured a record-breaking £1 million contract with the fashion website Oh Polly.

However, individuals within the realm of reality TV have criticized Ekin Su’s popular image, labeling her as ‘cold’, ‘judgmental’, and ‘primarily present for selfies’.

A source shares: ‘She remains motionless, offering no words. She’s a person who, upon greeting, assesses your worthiness in mere moments. If she deems you unworthy, she won’t engage in conversation, which might be beneficial for you since all you seem to discuss is herself.’

However, it might be prudent for Ekin Su to learn from this incident – as the Mail reported, her exclusion from the BAFTA after-party due to lack of an invitation underscores the importance of having a strong network of friends.

Her more contentious aspect gained attention from the public when she participated in Celebrity Big Brother last year, often engaging in disputes within the house, which she attributed to an unfair portrayal in the edited footage.

In an attempt to revive her faltering presence on reality TV, she went back to the original platform that launched her, in the Love Island All Stars reboot. However, this comeback didn’t pan out as planned, as she and her partner Curtis Pritchard ended up finishing third.

8) Curtis Pritchard

Discussing his former boyfriend, the boxer Curtis Pritchard (once a contestant on Love Island), definitely earns a spot on our list.

It was reported by our source: ‘It’s no wonder Curtis has attempted to become a boxer after his stint on Love Island. Both shows demand someone to be outgoing, eager for instant fame, and comfortable in the spotlight. Having interacted with him, it appears that Curtis fits all of these descriptions.’

He’s an amiable young man, consistently demonstrating kindness and politeness, but his lack of expertise within the field has led him to unknowingly participate in one embarrassing opportunity after another. This is why he currently finds himself in a somewhat unexpected position.

Curtis is often the subject of laughter or jokes. Maybe the peak of his notoriety was when he turned into an internet ‘joke’ during his 2019 entrance on Love Island, due to his head-in-hands one-liners like turning down Amy Hart’s affections by saying “I enjoy making coffee for everyone in the morning”.

Last month, a semi-professional dancer got noticed as she performed the cha-cha-cha dance at Battersea Power Station, aiming to attract a diminishing group of adolescent shoppers and advertise Lipton Ice Tea.

Last week, the heart-touching moment was seen once more as he danced, this time to advertise Nescafe coffee at the O2 Arena. It had originally gained widespread attention on TikTok.

Our source remarks, ‘It appears that Curtis might not have envisioned himself in this particular setting, yet money is money as they say.’

9) Pete Wicks

One time, a star from The Only Way Is Essex seemed to be slipping into obscurity. But then, an fortunate opportunity in reality TV kept him from disappearing completely – this chance came when his close friend, Sam Thompson, was cast on I’m A Celebrity in 2023.

In 2023, Pete made a hasty trip to Australia to lend his support to the Made In Chelsea celebrity. However, during his stay, it seemed like bad luck followed him as photographers frequently caught him off guard.

According to our source, it seems as if this particular photographer followed Pete around. People were playfully speculating that perhaps he was making phone calls to set up these encounters and orchestrate photo opportunities in order to create a compelling story.

However, they made the situation unsavory when they brought Sarah Corrin, the girlfriend of soap actor and fellow I’m A Celebrity participant Nick Pickard, into the mix.

According to our source, Sarah might join Pete for dinner or stand by him as he smoked a cigarette, and their photo might be taken. It was widely believed that Pete was intentionally setting up a scenario, which led people to speculate that there may have been some secret relationship between them.

If accurate, it proved effective, as that collection of photos stirred speculations. Following his encounter with Sam across the wooden bridge after being crowned the Jungle’s King, Pete once again found himself under the public eye.

Shortly after that, a cast member from The Only Way is Essex joined the lineup for the next season of Strictly Come Dancing on the BBC.

Ever since then, alongside my equally renowned “media spouse” Sam, I’ve had a modest return to the limelight through our amusingly titled podcast, Staying Relevant. It seems we’re managing to keep ourselves somewhat in the public eye, one conversation at a time.

10) Danny Jones

It might not have been Danny Jones’ preferred method to be noted in history, but the fact that he was caught sharing a drunken kiss with “I’m A Celebrity” co-star Maura Higgins has already left an indelible mark on the annals of showbiz.

According to our source, Danny has had a strong focus on maintaining a pristine public persona. When the revelations surfaced, he felt enraged and determined to regain control of his situation.

Although he was declared the “King of the Jungle” a year ago, the general sentiment towards him has turned negative. Now, at 39 years old, he’s attempting to restore his image by organizing a reunion tour with McFly across the country in September – over two decades since they initially came together as a band.

According to our informant, McFly’s fan, Danny, insists that they are not past their best. The other guys seem to enjoy the joke, but Danny appears quite sincere about it. He behaves as if McFly is a fresh, groundbreaking band about to revolutionize music.

‘It’s all he’s got left going for him really and he knows it.’

In the midst of the publicized kissing controversy, Danny’s longtime partner, Georgia Horsley, displayed remarkable resilience. Eventually, she chose to forgive her husband of 11 years, primarily for the sake of their seven-year-old son, Cooper.
