Well theres apparently 14 famous people who come from where i live, but i've heard of hardly any of them. One of them is Julie Peasgood. Another is someone who i wouldnt say is famous, but everyone would have heard the name, not a nice man.
Although i did used to go ice skating, and play football with Ant and Dec, before they were famous. xx

Kerry Katona (Atomic Kitten) George Sampson (Britains got Talent) Chris Evans (Radio/broadcaster) Sue Johnston (Actress) Steve Arnold (Ashley in Corrie) Pete Waterman (Producer?) Rick Astley (Singer) These are people that are from my area, most likely do not live here any more! not a great list is it!
