Hi Maz - There's a bit asking more or less the same thing on the home page here as well as for someone called Conteh - so my guess would be John Conteh perhaps?? Magsxx

Mags - just had a look at that. As it mentions a hospital in Bedford in the ad on here, maybe the nurse is a long-lost family member and the celeb isn't from Chingford at all?? Maz. XX

Maz, It's probably not Beckham, he was born in Whipps Cross in '74 not long after the maternity unit opened. Wonder if it's Jonathan Ross, I'm sure he was born 1960 and as he lived in Leytonstone he could have been born at either, Chingford, Thorpe Coombe or St.Mary's Stratford (St.Mary's was the best 'cos thats where I was born)

Two options here Maz! - We can either run a sweepstake and try to guess who it might be.....or we can cheat and try to look it up somewhere...SOMEONE must know who's in the next series ! LOL Magsxx

Janet - hmmmm - could be Rossy. I know my friend's ex husband went to school with him in Leytonstone. But seeing the request on here as well might mean something else. Maz. XX
