Whose attempts at pop are worse than Tara Palmer-Tompkinson?

Being a pop star isn't as easy as it looks

 

  • Jordan: One of TV's greatest moments also marked a dark day for music as a heavily pregnant Jordan made a bid to represent the UK at Eurovision in 205 with her track 'Not Just Anybody'. When she was trumped by Javine she sat stony faced backstage, refusing to congratulate her rival. Television gold.

Unbelievably, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson is releasing a single. Perhaps more believable is the fact that her debut release, '5 Second' is a little rubbish - although not without its own low budget charms.

Whoever told the socialite and former reality TV star this was a good idea is no friend (we're pointing a finger of blame at friend and occasional pop star Duncan James), but Tompkinson is not the first person with more money than sense and a passing interest in the music industry. Some have attempted a pop career off the back of a successful acting career - others because they were simply bored of their enormous wealth.

So, from over-plumped US celebrities to over-paid British footballers, check out the 'stars' who make Tara Palmer-Tompkinson's pop debut look like the second coming of Queen - and let us know if there's anyone worse than these part-time pop stars...
