Philip Green Philip Green is a British billionaire businessman who owns some of the United Kingdom's largest retailers including British Home Stores, and the Arcadia Group. He has also made two unsuccessful takeover bids for Marks and Spencer. Green was born March 15, 1952 in Croydon, in South London. When his father died at the age of 12, Philip was in line to inherit the family business. He made his first million by buying a jeans retailer for £65,000 and selling it for £3 million. In 1999, he made a £560 million bid for the Sears retail group, which he later broke up and sold, making £150 million. Loretta says: "I think Philip is a fantastic business man. If he wants something he really goes after it, I respect his retail skill and business drive. Having previously worked at Marks and Spencer I want to understand what his plans for M&S were and get behind his thinking."
Robbie Williams
Last seen performing at Live 8 in Hyde Park, former Take That member Robbie immersed himself in the rock'n'roll lifestyle of Britpop with Oasis, endured a highly publicised battle with drug and alcohol addiction and fall-out with the Gallaghers, Noel famously referring to him as 'that fat dancer from Take That'. While bandmates Mark Owen and principal songwriter Gary Barlow were seen to be the ones 'most likely to succeed', it was a cleaned-up Robbie, with a string of singles - most famously Angels - and albums including Life Thru A Lens, I've Been Expecting You and Sing When You're Winning which have catapulted him to superstardom. In 2002, the UK public voted Williams to be on the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons. He was also voted 17th in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons poll. "He is so full of life," says Loretta. "I love his naughty behaviour and he would certainly get everyone talking and laughing. Obviously, there is the fact he would be good eye candy too!"
John Churchill
"My father died five years ago and there is so much I want to tell him about what has happened since he passed away," says Loretta. "I have got married, had two children and left Marks and Spencer. A lot of what I have done is because of him, and what he said to me when he was dying about getting my life in order."
David Walliams and Matt Lucas
David Walliams met comedy partner Matt Lucas at the National Youth Theatre, where the two were brought together by their shared love of Reeves and Mortimer. Although both have enjoyed success away from the partnership - Lucas most notably as 'big baby' George Dawes in Shooting Stars - it is for Rock Profiles and the hugely popular Little Britain and its string of oddball characters for which they are best known. "I love Little Britain, the characters are spot-on and true to real life. It is full of people who make me laugh, especially Andy in the Wheelchair and his carer Lou. I would want people at my dinner table who have personality and are funny to talk to."
Richard Branson
Head of the global business Virgin, balloonist and general all-rounder, Branson's latest venture sees him host the entrepreneur-adventure reality show The Rebel Billionaire: Branson's Quest For The Best on ITV2. "Richard is a maverick, he takes risks and works at all levels in the business, even getting involved in the day-to-day activity. He presents a really positive aspirational business image and does a lot for developing young people and recognising talent. He also has a really strong business portfolio with the Virgin group."
