Then, as their new-found fame ends and the public's attention turns elsewhere, these fading stars often struggle to readjust to normality.

However, hanging on to fame has its own pitfalls. Fame brings a loss of privacy as a star's life becomes the subject of media attention and, sometimes, cruel rumour. This can have a serious effect on their friendships.
