Whoopi Goldberg: Caryn Johnson

When you hear the name Whoopi Goldberg it’s hard not think of a whoopee cushion. Turns out Whoopi’s nickname developed due to her flatulence issues.

She said: "No one christened me that. I am Karen, but I was a bit of a farter.

"The theatres I was performing in were very small so if you were gassy you had to walk away farting and people would say I was like a Whoopee cushion. I was sometimes quite noisy, never offensive."
