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:
“In many ways, life becomes simpler [for young adults]. . . . We are expected to solve only a finite number of problems within a limited range of possible solutions. . . . It’s a mental vacation compared with figuring out who we are, what we believe, what we’re going to do with our talents, how we’re going to solve the social problems of the globe . . .and what the perfect way to raise our children will be.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
