Wondering which celebrity is the most current?
Timeliness isn’t necessary when you’re booking celebrity talent for your party or corporate event. There are some stories and some people who are simply timeless; just because they aren’t currently all over the tabloids or in the news doesn’t mean that they don’t have amazing advice and incredible motivational speeches to impart.
That said, booking a celebrity who has been in the news can prove an extra draw – if you need to encourage people to attend your event or just want to make sure they have a brilliant time.
Here are our top three celebrities of the moment:
Amir Khan
Amir Khan burst into the celebrity scene when he won a silver medal at the Athens Olympics, aged just 17. When he was filmed for the show MTV Cribs a few years later, he showed off money-can’t-buy watches and money-can’t-insure cars, but since then it’s been all change for the Bolton born lad.
The 28 year old is now married and has a daughter, but the biggest change in his life has been the charity work he takes part in. As well as visiting and raising funds to help rebuild a school in Pakistan which was attacked by the Taliban, in September 2015 he took a convoy of aid supplies to the refugees who were landing on the Greek island of Lesbos.
He’s auctioned off many of his most glamorous purchases in order to donate to charity, lives a more simple life and has pledged to become a full-time charity worker when he retires from boxing.
His is a story that’s sure to appeal across the board, to young and old alike, offering an inspiring story of success and humility, perfect for a get-together or event with a wide diversity of people in attendance.
Charlotte Church
Charlotte first became famous as a classical singer in her childhood, with her first few albums, Voice of an Angel, Charlotte Church and Dream a Dream, making her a multi-millionaire before she hit her teens.
A child star who tread an uncomfortable path to adult fame under the scrutiny of the world media, Charlotte Church was for the most part living a quiet life until 2015, when she became something of a figurehead for the anti-cuts movement.
An unlikely path for her to tread, but one which has seen her widely lauded for being true to herself, the new and improved Charlotte Church the activist is a powerful figurehead and a personality who’s seen a massive resurgence in popularity over the last year or so.
She’s available for modelling, presenting and acting engagements and Charlotte’s strong personality and recent newsworthiness make her an excellent choice for this type of booking.
Dani Harmer
If Dani Harmer isn’t a name or a face that’s instantly recognisable to you, you’re probably the wrong age! Just 26, she’s already a veteran actress, having starred in her first London theatre performance aged just six years old.
By far her most famous role is that of Tracey Beaker in the long running CBBC show of the same name, based on the popular Jaqueline Wilson books. For an audience in their 20s and 30s, Dani Harmer is one of the most recognisable child stars in a generation – and she’s the perfect choice for a celebrity booking.
Currently in the news after announcing her pregnancy with partner Simon Brough, Dani also competed in a recent series of Strictly Come Dancing, in which she finished fourth, meaning that she’s a lady with a lot of strings to her bow.
Whether it’s speaking about her unusual childhood as an actress and being one of the UK’s most recognisable child actors, presenting awards at your corporate awards ceremony or endorsing a product, Dani is a really versatile star who’s only set to become more famous in the weeks and months to come.
She’s ideal for events like dinners and awards ceremonies at which you’ll have a younger audience demographic. Your guests will absolutely love reliving their childhood with an appearance by Dani Harmer.
