Talking of the Disney Club. What became of Richard Orford, last seen on Defectors I believe, again for Challenge.

His career seems to have dive bombed. Unless you know different.

I last saw him quite recently on FTN presenting the British Paintball Championship. (It might have been on Bravo originally).

What was the name of the main presenter on Shop! with the Liverpool accent? I know she had a couple of websites dedicated to her. And where's she gone now?

She was great, I think she'd be great fun to know in person too.

I knew this name was going to be mentioned when I saw the name of the thread! Don't know why, but I just had a feeling.

I think he's in America at the moment.

I agree she was fab. Apparently can now be seen on My Travel TV, but I think I saw her flogging something on one of the other shopping channels as well recently.

This is her official website :

Ahh The last day of Shop!

4 Hours of complusive viewing, but apparently someone actually emailed into Shop! and said that they had set up a site for Debi, I think it was the person who runs the Shopping Telly site as she mentioned who created it for her, but we were all told that all of the presenters email addresses at Shop! stayed open after the channel had closed, considering that they closed 18 months ago I wonder if they still work, but I wonder what has happened to the people who did present on there? I know there's someone at QVC who used to be there and Debi and Andy have moved on, but the rest seem to have disappeared, especially the guy who had the goatee, what ever happened to him?

This Is Granada
Oh yes, that last week of Shop! Was good. The final goodbyes were sad. Poor old Debi Jones, you've got to love her!!!!

The E-mail address doesn’t work. I E-mailed 1 day after they closed to see if they worked and my message was sent back to me saying it was unable to be delivered.

As for shops presenters, well I know what happened to a few.

Debi Jones did do some Ideal world and now some Travel TV.

Dave Bradford is now on Ideal world a lot. He designs his own Jewellery called the Dave Bradford collection and sells then exclusively on Ideal world.

Anthony Haywood is now on QVC as presenter of a lot of Home Entertainment and PC shows

Ally Cook , well last I saw of her was on This Morning. She was in the New ITV weather presenter competition. I think she got to the final 10 or 20 or something. Not seen her since.

Kim Hughes well she has worked at Granada Television for a long time. Not only was she a Presenter at Shop! She was also a producer of Many of Granada Televisions regional programs. Once leaving shop! She now just does the producing. Her name has been on many Granada Television programs credits, the last one being Steamy series Cheshire Sex. Her and Eamon O'Neill mostly 9/10 times are producers of Granada TV Programs, so look out for her.
I have also seen her doing some Travel reports on some Travel channels, but not much now.

Jo Blakeway - Remember her?? She was lovely. Only trouble with her on Shop! Is that everytime she was on, she was always heavily pregnant. Strange. Must be something in Shops! Water. Jo is/was famous in the North-West for being the 'Eye in the sky' on Local Radio for many Mornings in the 90's. She has been seen recently on the big screens at the Trafford Centre presenting Trafford TV or whatever it’s called. She did look good on that. An all round top girl!

The 'guy with the goatee' as nwtv2003 describes is called Simon don’t know his surname. Yes he was good at shop, and since he’s gone well not much has happened. I saw him recently on one of the Travel Holiday channels. Cant remember which one, but when I saw Him I was shocked. Recognised his face but not the name. I now remembered his name but not sure on what else he is up to apart from that.

As for the other presenters, well I'm not sure.
