Where are they now? Cleo Rocos

Glamorous comedy actress Cleo Rocos became famous for her sketches in The Kenny Everett Television Show (1981-88). Since then, she's worked as a presenter, producer, singer, writer and businesswoman with her own range of tequila. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Cleo, 52, is single and lives with her mother in London's Canary Wharf.

In the leading role of Best Possible Taste (BBC Four) Oliver Lansley was good at copying Kenny Everett's funny voices but this only reminded you that the star was at his funniest when talking straight. "I love you," he told his wife, "but I fancy Burt Reynolds." His muse, the improbably beautiful Cleo Rocos, wasn't in the script. When I saw the two of them together I thought: he's done it, he's reduced sex to a Platonic ideal, the lucky swine. Actually, of course, he was wretched.
