(Host)
Born:
July 21, 1964
in
Barking, Essex
Best Known For:
Dodging the bullets on the field of battle and for playing EastEnders' hard man Grant Mitchell.
Early-life:
Ross James Kemp was born on July 21, 1964, in Barking, Essex. His mother was a hairdresser, his father a policeman. His brother Darren is a documentary producer. Kemp excelled at sports at school, but knew from an early age he wanted to be an actor after appearing as a shepherd in a nativity play. He later enrolled at the Webber Douglas Academy in London, making ends meet by working as a labourer and waiter.
Career:
Kemp has rarely been out of work since graduating in 1985. His first credited TV appearance was in Emmerdale in 1986. He also appeared in a string of Kellogg's adverts and featured in such series as Birds of a Feather and London's Burning, before landing the role of Grant in EastEnders - the part that made him a household name. He left in 1999 after nine years. He then appeared in A Christmas Carol, Ultimate Force, In Defence, Hero of the Hour, A Line in the Sand, and a TV remake of Spartacus. In 2005, he featured in an episode of Extras and made a brief, but much-publicised return to EastEnders. He has also hosted a number of hard-hitting documentaries for Sky1, including the Bafta-winning Ross Kemp on Gangs.
Quote:
'I never fail to get a buzz from setting off to work early in the morning and settling into that make-up chair. Mind you, I've done an awful lot of rubbish.'
Trivia:
He has written several books, including the novel Moving Target.

Best Known For:
Going from sketch show Goodness Gracious Me to playing Zainab in EastEnders.
Early-life:
Nina grew up in poverty in Mumbai, cramming into a one-bedroom ground floor space with her family, that flooded during the monsoon season. Aged nine, the family moved to a two-bedroom flat in Hong Kong, where she dreamed of being a barrister when she grew up, and was a tomboy at school.
Career:
Discovering a flair for acting when she moved to Britain, Nina joined up with some of the UK's finest Asian comedians and became a cornerstone of the Goodness Gracious Me team. She played characters such as Mrs 'I can make it at home for nothing!' and one half of The Competitive Mothers. After the demise of the series and several film and TV roles, she took over from her Goodness Gracious Me co-star Meera Syal in the role of Rupinder in the sitcom All About Me alongside Jasper Carrott. In 2007, Wadia was cast as Zainab Masood in EastEnders, a character she played until 2013.
Quote:
'I think for any woman who is out working and has a home life. I think they should have robot butlers, robot chauffeurs, robot leading men - robot everything.'
Trivia:
In 2013, she was awarded with the Outstanding Achievement in Television Award at the Asian Awards.

Quote:
'It wasn't that I saw Sex Pistols and thought: 'Oh, that changed my life'. I saw them and my reaction was: 'I can do better, I'll go to London to do it'. From then on I knew I didn't have to behave in a social norm. Because I wasn't alone.'

In 2008, Willcox took part in the Great Walk to Beijing alongside other celebrities to raise money for Olivia Newton-John's cancer charity.
