Shemina 'Shem' Kirby was a contestant in Series 57 and 92. At the time of both of her appearances, she was a biomedical scientist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford while also living in Oxfordshire.
In her first appearance, she rather unluckily ran into eventual octochamp and series champion Craig Beevers during his heat games; the latter ultimately defeated Kirby without too much trouble.
But upon her return almost 18 years later, she made a much greater mark, by securing her teapot thanks to a closely fought victory over Mel Smith in the first show of Series 92. She then followed it up with six further victories, before just losing out on octochampdom to Chas McLaughlin. With 615 points from seven appearances, time will only tell if that is enough for the end-of-series finals in December.
