I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here - Who is Shaun Ryder?


Happy Mondays - 'Kinky Afro'

Shaun and Bez being interviewed by a game interviewer



And finally as a treat (!) from TFI Friday - Shaun Ryder and Black Grape cover the Sex Pistol's track - 'Pretty Vacant'. Here's the 'MySpace' description for the video:
'to sum up the sit­u­a­tion so far: two TFI Fri­day guests had ut­tered the f-​word live on air well be­fore the wa­ter­shed. the pro­duc­ers of the show had been sub­ject to re­peat­ed warn­ings from the ITC. so what's the next log­i­cal step? why, in­vite Shaun Ry­der back on to speak to chris and per­form a cov­er ver­sion of the sex pis­tol's 'Pret­ty Va­cant'. ah, but wait; it's not as stupid as it sounds. the pre-​per­for­mance in­ter­view was taped ear­li­er in the day to elim­i­nate the pos­si­bil­i­ty of any live rud­ery, and there are no rude words in the lyrics to 'pret­ty va­cant', right guys? the in­ci­dent had two reper­cus­sions -​ TFI went from a live show to a taped one, and the ITC made chan­nel four add a spe­cial clause to it's pro­gramme com­pli­ance code stat­ing that shaun ry­der must nev­er ap­pear on a live show ev­er again.'
