Jordan?

I know she's blonde, has big silicone breasts but what is she? who is she?

Model? Actress? It Girl (nah, not classy enough), member of the Anti Natal video association?

I always got Bernard Cribbens and Michael Bentine confused

DJ Billy You can't really dust for vomit.

If a 'celebrity' is on TV and I don't know them then I just assume they're from Eastenders!

There's always the 'celebrities' on Night Fever too

Jango 'Miiiiilk it..!'

I think Orinoco was the fretful one (with the scarf?).

Bernard Cribbins was also in a few Carry On films, as well as reading The Hobbit in Jackanory if I recall correctly, and is still alive today

No - Michael Bentine died quite a few years ago now

One of the Goons he was - they are all dead now

A Shakira - exotic south American creature very attractive to some men - although has a strangely shaped stomach
