Lemar

Despite only coming third in the first series of reality TV show Fame Academy, Lemar has been far more successful than its winner, David Sneddon (who?).

The first single Lemar ever purchased was SWV's Right Here. Before he hit the big time, Lemar used to work as an accounts manager at a bank. One of Lemar's crowning moments on Fame Academy was getting to duet with one of his musical idols - Lionel Richie.

The pair sung The Commodores' Easy Like Sunday Morning. Lemar thinks Nelly Furtado is pretty hot - he once said that if he ever starred in a movie, he would want the Portuguese Canadian beauty to be his love interest.
