Cyclechat is full of British celebrities deaths of people I've never heard of. Now it's time to post my own! Yup, a dead British celebrity I have never heard of.
I clicked a link on the bbc site and learned about this amazing woman. Born - and I am not shitting you - Caterina Irene Elena Maria Imperiali de Principi di Francavilla which may be the best European royalty/Eurotrash name I have ever heard, but she chose Katie Boyle, possibly the most big-brother-eviction-name I have ever heard. Amazing career, she hosted "A Song for Europe" (Eurovision) many times when Britain would actually win. Multiple languages, charity work, a voice of the BBC, panel shows etc etc.
But this is my favourite fact: "She also became the face of Camay soap in television adverts, despite being allergic to the product herself." So I googled it

It's amazing. She seems to say she uses it, but she doesn't actually say t. She isn't shown using it, just showing others using it. And I suspect it's another brand of soap (or block of cheddar) in the wrapper she touches.
(I was in the UK when she was on the weakest link, but she was in her seventies then. Old, but not old enough to be interesting. Also, The Weakest Link stopped being interesting PDQ.)
