PR guru Max Clifford is doling out advice on how to be famous.

He is telling wannabes to feature in a stolen sex video, use fame by association or take part in a TV talent show - but fail abysmally. The guide is being broadcast on digital channel Fame TV.

Clifford said: "There's no set route or set of rules to achieving fame. Nowadays it's possible for people to become famous literally overnight.

"Talent doesn't even really come into being famous any more - it helps obviously - but most of it is just about being seen and with the right people and then really knowing how to capitalise on it.

"There are absolutely no limits to what people are prepared to do nowadays if they think it will achieve their dreams of fame."

1. Appear on a reality TV show - Chantelle Houghton, Jade Goody, Kate Lawler
