Robbie Williams, Becks And Princess Di Battle It Out For The New £10 Note

Robbie Williams, David Beckham and the late Princess Diana are among the 150 contenders for the new face of Britain’s ten pound note, released by the Bank Of England over the weekend.

The currency is due for an update, and the present face of the tenner, Charles Darwin, has more than likely exhausted his moment in the sun. The choices range far and wide, from The Beatles to rugby player Johnny Wilkinson, through to Winston Churchill and funnyman John Cleese. Evidently newer, more contemporary scoundrels Russell Brand, Ricky Gervais and the late atheist Christopher Hitchens did not get a look-in, though the Queen Mother, who has a successor that is still alive, managed to scrape through. 
Shamefully, important British icons Spice Girls were overlooked despite ruling the Olympics Closing Ceremony earlier this year, as were their equally important artisan cousins, All Saints and Atomic Kitten
Australia has as yet made no official statement regarding the possibility of putting cultural icons Justice Crew or Ricki-Lee on our $5 bills.
