Comic Relief Does Fame Acadmey: Tara Palmer Tomkinson To Spank Richard Park

Tara Palmer Tomkinson has admitted to The Sun that out of all the Fame Academy crew for this years Comic Relief show, she has a bit of a crush on Colin Murray and Richard Park.

Tara stated: “I can’t wait to go to the headmaster’s study. I wouldn’t mind being spanked by Richard Park – but I would do the spanking!” Does that make sense?

If Tara appears blase though, it’s all a front, she is incredibly nervous about the actual singing challenge that lies ahead.

She admitted: “ I’m so scared. I’m really nervous. It’s much worse than being in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! I would prefer to eat a cockroach to singing. I’m worried that I will forget everything when I’m singing.”
