Other stuff

Anybody know what "gunged" means?

Gunge is a term used to describes a runny substance, similar to paint that is often featured in game shows and charity events. It is used by covering or dropping over a victim, often inside a "Gunge Tank", with the intention to cause embarassment and make mess.

Why is she described as "English" when she was born in Wales? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.136.58.29 (talk) 06:48, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Have changed nationality, born in Wales to Welsh parents, and multiple sources refer to Rice as being Welsh:

Return to limelight

81.151.223.126 (in their one and only edit) suggested that 'they think it might return in 2007' (quoting http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/articles/22841412?source=PA ) but that article doesn't mention ANY date. Who are 'they' anyway? This needs to be re-written and have a better source. --JanesDaddy 21:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Return To TV

The Articte states: British comedy sketch-show, The Fast Show, included a sketch in one of their episodes entitled Memories of Anneka Rice. I find this highly dubious. I am a big Fast Show Fan and do not recall this ever having been part of the Fast Show (maybe Spitting Image or something like Dead Ringers) It seems unlikey as Impersonation of known personalities isn't part of the Fast Show's Format. can anyone find any references ? I've scoured the internet but to no avail. Short of buying the scripts i don't know a way to refute this but i'm sure it's wrong Harani66 13:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Political Support

While reading this article I looked at the external link attached to her support for the Conservative Party. Should this still be included in the article. The link in question is a 2005 article looking at how celebrities were going to vote in that general election. There is not reference to her being a member of that party or any evidence of ongoing support. I'm not sure if citing how people voted in a single election 13 years ago is particularly relevant to their status today.Ph 1980 (talk) 00:01, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What does this mean?

"She 'gave birth' to her first son, with Kenneth Kendall directing proceedings." What's the context? IS this related to Spitting Image or real life? Seems to be a non sequitur. What do the apostrophes around 'gave birth' signify?2.31.164.10 (talk) 17:17, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anneka Has Issues

This article should mention the BBC Radio Four comedy series "Anneka Has Issues", which was broadcast at 6: 30 p.m. on Wednesdays in the summer of 2022. YTKJ (talk) 18:58, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anneka's bottom

Anneka's bottom was the most renowned part of the Challenge Anneka series. It was constantly the focus as she ran around, followed by the cameraman.

Why, in an article that is all about a CV and publicity and little to do with an encyclopedia, is this single most famous aspect of hwr best known series not even mentioned? 86.185.52.20 (talk) 03:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
