As BBC star Amol Rajan reveals his embarrassing past as a magazine model… Can YOU find the stars in our teen photo casebook?
We see them on our television screens or hear them regularly on the radio, but some of Britain’s famous names have also worked as comic strip characters.
A well-known former BBC media editor recently revealed that he appeared as an “inadequate man” in a 2018 comic strip on Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff.

And many other celebrities have also graced the pages of the nation’s photo comic strips in their time.
