Simon Rimmer (Presenter)
Tim Lovejoy (Presenter)
Born: March 28, 1968 in Northwood, Middlesex
Best Known For: Hosting Soccer AM on a Saturday morning for over a decade
Early-life: Tim was born in Middlesex in 1968 and became a die-hard Chelsea fan at an early age. He always hoped for a career in sport and presenting, and as a teenager began sending out letters to production companies looking for work. For a time he worked in music as a merchandise manager for touring bands.
Career: After starting out as a VJ on MTV UK, Tim moved to the Big Breakfast, where he worked his way up from researcher to producer of the show. From there, he got the Soccer AM job in 1996, and continued to host it with Helen Chamberlain, as well as producing it, for 11 years. After leaving, he moved to BBC Radio Five Live before settling at Something For The Weekend, the Sunday breakfast show he hosts with Louise Redknapp and chef Simon Rimmer. He also launched online project Channel Bee.
Quote: "I did not choose Something For The Weekend over Soccer AM. I love doing both. However I just turn up and present STFW whereas with Soccer AM I worked my nuts off every day writing and producing it. If I carried on doing Soccer AM I would not be able to develop my other ideas."

David Baddiel (Guest)
Born: May 28, 1964 in New York
Best Known For: Being Frank Skinner's best mate.
Early-life: David Lionel Baddiel was born on May 28, 1964, in Troy, New York, where his Welsh father was working as a research scientist. His mother was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany. They moved to the UK when David was four months old. David's first script and performance almost got him expelled from the sixth form of The Haberdashers Aske School, Elstree. Academically, he excelled and earned a place at Cambridge University where he was vice-president of the famous Footlights club. David graduated from Kings College with a double-first in English Literature in 1986. He then began working on a PhD which he never finished.
Career: During this period, Baddiel debuted on the London stand-up circuit, and wrote sketches with Rob Newman for BBC Radio 4's Week Ending. Fame followed in 1990 when the duo appeared as part of The Mary Whitehouse Experience. Baddiel and Newman became the first comedians to sell out Wembley Arena. After the duo split, Baddiel formed a comedy partnership with Frank Skinner when they presented TV series Fantasy Football in 1994. They went on to make chart-topping Euro 96 football anthem Three Lions with the Lightning Seeds. Since then they've hosted several series of Baddiel And Skinner Unplanned, appeared together in the West End, and collaborated on podcasts during the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. Baddiel has also written various novels, including Time for Bed, Whatever Love Means and The Secret Purpose. He also wrote and starred in sitcom Baddiel's Syndrome.
Quote: "I have an image of myself as thinner, so it's disappointing when I realise that I'm not."
Trivia: He pens a regular books column for The Times.
Natasha Hamilton (Guest)
Born: July 17, 1982 in Liverpool
Best Known For: Being a member of girl group Atomic Kitten.
Early-life: Natasha Maria Hamilton was born in Liverpool on July 17, 1982 and started singing from an early age. Her big break came in 1998 when Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark frontman Andy McCluskey formed girl group Atomic Kitten, which Natasha was part of with Liz McClarnon and Kerry Katona.
Career: Atomic Kitten's debut album, Right Now, was released in October 2000 but only peaked at number 39 in the UK album chart. Katona was replaced by Jenny Frost and their next single, Whole Again, topped the UK singles chart. A re-release of their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost's vocals, topped the album chart and went on to sell more than 600,000 copies in the UK. The group took a break from recording and touring in 2004. The original line-up reunited in 2013 for the ITV2 series The Big Reunion. A planned 2015 greatest hits tour was cancelled in mid-May 2015 without a reason given. Away from Atomic Kitten, Hamilton made her pantomime debut at Liverpool Empire in 2009 and had a spell playing the lead role in the West End production of Blood Brothers. In August 2015, she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Quote: "I am a bit of a clean freak. Mess gets me agitated."
Trivia: In 2014, Hamilton appeared on the ITV game show Big Star's Little Star, where she won £15,000 for the Dogs Trust charity.
