How's David still looking top Dollar?

Telly channel Living celebrated its 15th birthday last night with a big bash in London's Covent Garden. The Virgin Media channel took over an old building in the heart of the Piazza and had obviously splashed some cash on the decor and free bar. The guest list was slightly more prosaic, however, with Monkey spotting one of the Cheeky Girls - although not the one who went out with Lib Dem Lembit Opik, apparently - and members of former chart acts taking part in new show Pop Goes the Band. This will see members of Bucks Fizz, Dollar, Cleopatra, 911, Shakatak and Visage go under the knife in order to be "restored to their former glory through strenuous fitness regimes, painful cosmetic and in some cases, major plastic surgery". Blimey. By the look of some of the band members - and Monkey is thinking Dollar's David Van Day here - the surgery has already taken place and looks really, erm ... natural.
