The tabloid press published the names today of some of those rumoured to be heading to the jungle for I’m A Celebrity, which returns to ITV next weekend. Whilst such “rumours” are obviously part of a finely oiled publicity vehicle that I wouldn’t normally climb aboard, mention of Tinchy Stryder did give an excuse to dig out his 2009 collaboration with N-Dubz – Number 1.
Amongst other songs that don’t get much of an airing I also played Elstree, from Buggles’ 1980 album The Age of Plastic; Martika’s Toy Soldiers; and Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree by Dawn and Tony Orlando – the biggest-selling single of 1973!
