What did they do before QVC?

[Ellaaa]

Prompted by a discussion with my friend yesterday who was wracking her brains about where she'd seen Jackie Kabler before (I enjoyed letting her squirm for 5 minutes until I let her know.. ), we're curious to know what the other presenters used to do, what were their previous careers?

The ones we know;

Ali Young was a beauty therapist (how could we forget..)
Jackie and Marv were broadcasters/journalists
Simon Biagi - seem to remember him presenting inoffensive daytime tv?
Chloe worked on Sky Sports News?

Can anyone shed any light on the rest?

Jackie could have been a Cilla Black impersonator as some times I think she is going to break into one of Cilla's catchphrases.
