Wasn't sure if this belonged in Minor Celebrity or its own thread, but he has a very recogniseable face so thought it had enough weight to go here.

Is this the first Egghead to perish? And just one day after someone on here reminded me of DAPHNE.

CJ de Mooi said to be INCONSOLABLE (but didn't kill this one)

He was a bit of a know it all. I realise that’s the point but give me Judith Keppel anyday.

Dave Rainford died in 2020.

 

[Lonely Sardophony (We Will Be Free)]

I remember he was on The Weakest Link & didn't answer a single question wrong. So of course, the other 2 voted him off in the final round.

Is Daphne still going?

I’ve had Daphne on my list for a while, since when my aunt went in Eggheads many years ago, she said they often had to do multiple takes because Daphne was getting confused.
