Famous People Who Came From Talent Shows
These days TV talent shows are everywhere. If it's not Pop Idol it's X Factor or American Idol or something. But these shows aren't altogether new. The Brits here will remember Talent contests like Opportunity Knocks or New Faces with Marti Cain, God rest her soul. But while very few of the contestants, the winners as well for that matter, find stardom after the series ends, there have been some famous names to come from such shows. Pam Ayres and Lena Zaveroni are two that I'm very familiar with. Not forgetting Carrie Underwood, Katherine McPhee and Girls Aloud. And of course - One Direction.
Anyone else? Over to you!

As a child, it was really Opportunity Knocks and New Faces that I remember. When Toni Warne appeared on the first series of The Voice, I remembered her as the child singer who'd appeared on Opportunity Knocks. Tara MacDonald was another one I remember. I wonder what she's doing now.
