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.
