Tom Allen: was a bookish young man who didn’t have any friends so he liked to go to the library and take out books about things like Noel Coward and Agatha Christie, which is quite a lot for Bromley; household chores come easily to him, playing for St Christopher’s Hospice in South London
Michelle Visage: likes word puzzles like RuPaul but apparently she’s not so great at them, playing for Gendered Intelligence, which helps people understand gender diversity and makes life better for trans people
Eddie Kadi: has a daughter named Leana whose actual nickname is Podcast (she would tell everybody anything that is discussed in the family; she overheard a conversation of him reacting to the news that he’s gonna be on Strictly), playing for African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust
