(London): While ordinary people are hitting the headlines with tales of credit crunch woe, the forgotten few are left in a much worse state.

Headlines are full of Eric the plasterer or Maureen the school dinner lady... but a new support group has been set up to remind us of another band of hurt and impoverished people... the Celebrity.

The new charity call themselves Loyal Luvvies With Nothing To Show, or LLWNTS, and are dedicated to bringing to the wider audience the troubles facing celebrities today.

"Look at the new series of I'm a Celebrity," said party spokesperson, Donny Osmond.

"One of the contestants is only picking up £7,500 for their two week stint, even the highest earners are on a paltry £30,000."

The charity's poster girl is going to be long time campaigner for debt, Carol Vorderman, asked to take a 90% pay cut and subsequently removed from Countdown.

Vorderman, now down to her last few million, has had to take to the streets to fund her insatiable Pot Noodle habit, doing simple arithmetic tricks for spare change.

The message from the group is clear.

"Send us your money," said Osmond. "Otherwise people like me won't be able to afford another solid gold statue of myself, I only have 12 left."

Truly, a sad, sad indictment of the credit crunch world we live in.
