Bursting on to our screens in the early 1990's in an amazing technicoloured spandex suit was the entity known as Mr Motivator (real name Derrick Errol Evans), a Jamaican exercise instructor who had a daily slot on the UK's breakfast show GMTV.
While most of us were trying to muster up enough energy and enthusiasm to lift the spoon of cornflakes from the bowl Mr.Motivator pranced around like a jumping bean, wearing the tightest lycra suits he could find, in the brightest of colours, with a baseball cap and let's not forget the very necessary bum bag.
I think you will all agree that if he didn't motivate you in to doing 50 star jumps and a few tummy clenchers every morning, he certainly lifted spirits and made you feel good about the day, even if it was only contented smugness that we didn't have to do his job! :)
