Are C4 trying to pull a fast one thinking viewers may not notice. Are we being duped.
Just watched C4 The friday Night project where they had to pick a member of the audience to win big prizes. As soon as the girl stood up I had seen her face before, in fact she is an actress, a Leanne Rowe, played May Moss in Lillies on BBC1 and in other films etc.
Just a coincidence or a set up.

Hi Caverncity,

If you genuinely feel that the woman in the studio was a "fake", and that C4 were faking the competition, I'd highly recommend contacting OFCOM and putting in a formal complaint! C4 have already just been wrapped over the knuckles this week, for rigging phone-in competitions on "Deal Or No Deal" and "You Say, We Pay" on the Richard And Judy Show, so maybe OFCOM should do some investigating, and see what C4 are up to.

I didnt see it but if its true go get em .

Im always saying about how they fleece us with all the phone ins and constant begging for money ( "its neck and neck and .... needs your votes ")

If youve spotted a genuine fake complain.

Wish there was a movie clip for me to compare the picture with.

[caverncity]

I knew straight away it was the girl off lillies and it was confirmed when Justin asked the girls name too which she replied Leanne.
At first I thought it was for charity.

here is a short clip of leanne she is the girl with tatoos on her face sitting next to the girl on the bed.

When C4 put the FNP on demand you can compare it there.

Just seen Friday Night Project and seen this thread, its very similar to her for sure.

[caverncity]

Its defo 100% her, I didnt know her real name, on FNP she said its was leanne and when I checked the BBC site for Lillies I found Leanne aswell.

[caverncity]

Blimey I sound like a man on a mision, anyway have a look for yourself.

the actress seems to have a bit of a following at IMDb
www.imdb.com/name/nm0746560/board
- probably her mates 'bigging her up'

... and somone has posted this there:

ON FRIDAY NIGHT PROJECT!!!!

She was the contestant on the friday night project, this has made me a bit suspicious as i now wonder whether it was a fix, as her surprised face when she was chosen wasn't very surprised...

[Pincho Paxton]

Well she also appears to have the mole on her neck in the same place. Although covered slightly by makup in the theatrical picture.

I remember years ago watching some sort of "It'll be alright..." show where they showed some US game shows which actually had actors who are famous now as contestants. I always suspected after that that gameshows with prizes are little more than product placement or, where cash is concerned, just filler with the illusion of winners.

Wasn'y "QuizShow" with Ralph Feinnes a true story about some quizshow contestant in the 50s/60s who was actually on the shows payroll? Far cheaper to pay £50,000 to "win" £1,000,000.

The mole more noticable on this picture....

So I'd say that it is her.

I have contacted Ofcom myself now that I have these details.

[Pincho Paxton]

Ofcom have written to me. Shortened version.....

Thank You for your complaint.
This is not a matter that we can pursue any further. Because viewers are not invited to enter this competition. We advise you to register your concerns with C4.

[PoochJD]

Hi Pincho,

You know what'll happen if you do contact C4, don't you?! They'll just do what they always do, and tell you - the viewer - to go screw yourself, because you're not important.
