Children in Need
In Autumn 2009, Griffin was invited to take part in the BBC's Children In Need, being matched against other former musical reality TV contestants in a bout of "Reality Conkers".
Despite despatching "Nasty" Nigel Lythgoe in the opening round and making good progress in the early stages of round two, Griffin suffered an early exit at the hands of Michelle McManus after she distracted him with a finger of Cadburys Fudge. Griffin had been due to face Fame Academy rival Alex Parks in the following round, Parks went on to win the event by beating Danny from Hear'say in the final.
Footage of Griffin's first and second round bouts have appeared on U-Tube along with a promotional safety video demonstrating the benefits of wearing goggles while playing conkers.

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“It is not an arbitrary “decree of God,” but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow; for the soul will not have us read any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil, which curtains events, it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
