Best Known For: Being a TV and radio presenter and Jonathan Ross' brother.
Early-life: Paul was born in Leytonstone, London, on December 31, 1956. He studied journalism at Exeter University and started his career with the Western Times in Exeter in 1982. He made the move to TV when he became a researcher at London Weekend Television.
Career: Ross went on to work as the series editor and executive producer of Channel 4's The Word. His first job in front of the cameras was on the current affairs show Eyewitness. His big break came in 1993 when he worked as a reporter and then a studio presenter on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast. Since then he has rarely been off TV screens as either a presenter or a guest. He performed as Tommy Steele on Stars in Their Eyes, appeared as a contestant on Celebrity Fit Club and he has been the TV critic on This Morning. Ross has also been a radio presenter on GLR, Virgin Radio and BBC London 94.9. In January 2014, he was a contestant on ITV reality series Splash!
Quote: 'Unlike Jonathan's shows where people tune in specifically to see him, with me they tune in to see me host a show where the stars are whoever else is on it.'

Lesley Joseph (Contestant)
Born: October 14, 1945 in London
Best Known For: Birds of a Feather.
Early-life: Lesley Diana Joseph was born in London on October 14, 1945 and grew up in Northampton. At the age of seven, she made her stage debut in Hansel and Gretel at the New Theatre in Northampton. After training to be an actor at Lamda, she spent several years playing an assortment of roles at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter.
Career: Joseph made her TV debut in a 1974 episode of Wendy Craig-fronted sitcom And Mother Makes Five. She went on to make appearances in Sadie, It's Cold Outside, The Knowledge and Minder. Her big break came in 1989 when she was cast as man-eater Dorien Green in popular sitcom Birds of a Feather. It ran on the BBC until 1998 but it returned in 2012 as a stage version. The interest generated by the stage version led to ITV commissioning a new series which began airing in January 2014. Away from Birds of a Feather, Joseph has also starred in ITV soap Night and Day, appeared in a number of pantomimes, been a regular guest on Loose Women and co-hosted a radio show on BBC London 94.9 with Christopher Biggins. In 2015, she was a contestant on ITV's celebrity sheepdog trials programme Flockstars.
Quote: 'Some people say there are fewer parts for older actresses, but it doesn't seem that way at the moment. I think there has been a renaissance for older women.'
Trivia: Joseph supports Tottenham Hotspur.
