I won’t be saying who they are.

I recently spoke to a friend about it who
had lots of questions which lead to an interesting conversation, things I’d never said or thought about before.

When I was younger I used to feel incredibly jealous of them and had a very short and unsuccessful attempt at creating my own fame.

Now I’m older with my own dc and have seen the effects up close I definitely think the negatives out way the positives and it’s not something I would ever want for my children.

Considering they’re not an A list celeb and only famous in the Uk, who did you want?

There’s no one I “wanted”. Just commented on that being a bit boring, not sure why you’re so offended on their behalf!

Cannesdo · Yesterday 20:38

I think the OP is Holly Willoughby’s sister or Amanda Holden’s sister.

ChillWith · Yesterday 20:38

Do you ever get to do regular everyday stuff with them?

Talent and skill gets you nowhere unless you have the determination - and the luck to be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you have to be in a lot of places a lot of times, and have the determination to keep going no matter what.

Yeah you're not wrong.

But is @zedtree going to answer any of my questions? Please OP?

Not offended. And you didn’t say it was boring, you implied OP had over stated the celebrity status because Simon cowell and David Beckham aren’t famous enough for you. Not sure why you’re here if it’s boring

Is it Linda Robson?

LagoLady · Yesterday 20:44

Definitely Katie Price’s sister

what are you going on about?

Well you asked if the OP's sibling had a famous partner/spouse and I said a lot of them do, so finding out isn't going to achieve much in the way of trying to work out who they are.

a lot of them do yes’

i wonder if OPs sibling does? . If not, does he/she have a “normal” job or also in the public eye

Digerydont · Yesterday 20:48

Not Phil Schofield -his bro is inside.

Sure, true. Just seemed that naming David B, Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne was scraping the barrel a bit.

Are you trying to let us know you're an international A-list sleb who looks down on national-level fame? Start your own AMA!

zedtree · Yesterday 20:51

Sorry there’s a lot of questions, I’ll go through and answer more once I’m in bed.

there’s some I have intentionally avoided though as I won’t be able to give enough of an interesting or truthful answer without making it too close to obvious who they are.

Why have you posted this if we won’t actually learn anything from this thread? I understand you don’t want to out your sibling or yourself, but we have no evidence for any of the things you’ve said here and everything you’ve said is very vague. We’ve learned nothing from your posts.

CardboardBoxesLily · Yesterday 20:53

Could you compare them to a celebrity so we can understand the level of fame you’re taking about? E.g. soap star, Loose Women presenter, was on Big Brother?

Herenowatbroad · Yesterday 20:54

I won’t be saying who they are.

No, I bet you won’t! Because the responses would no doubt be…. Who?

Herenowatbroad · Yesterday 20:55

Does your “celebrity” sister know you started this thread @zedtree ?

Sashimiandhisthunderpaws · Yesterday 20:57

Have they kept their friends from pre-fame or do they mainly socialise with other celebrities? If they haven't, is it because the fame negatively impacted the ability maintain the friendship or were they social climbers that dropped friends that didn't fit with their lifestyle?

Will they do anything everything to trade off their fame? Or are they selective with that they chose? Do they get a lot of freebies?

LivelyGreyShark · Yesterday 20:58

I think its an interesting AMA without knowing who the sibling is, it must be hard not to be a bit envious if your sibling is rich and famous.

ParsleySageToiletDuckAndBinBags · Yesterday 20:59

Digerydont · Yesterday 18:51

Typo. Newsreader, quite famous in UK, not in Music or acting.

I once queued up in Boots for a prescription behind Wendy Craig when Butterflies was big. Noone took any notice of her. Back then, people weren't so obsessed with celebs.

Peter Noone from Herman's Hermits?!

I've learnt quite a lot about what it's like to have a famous family member.

If sounds like you just want to hear some celeb gossip, which isn't really the point of the thread.

zedtree · Yesterday 17:31

I would say the main ones are probably
Lack of privacy,
Harassment,
Constant pressure and criticism,
The press,
Fake friends and hanger ons,

And yet here you are 🙄

ParsleySageToiletDuckAndBinBags · Yesterday 21:02

So they're instantly recognisable in the UK, but not really well known abroad?

I don't want to give the game away too soon, but if I say "Johnny Bickering"... am I getting close?

ParsleySageToiletDuckAndBinBags · Yesterday 21:03

Does your older brother famously sell fish for £1 - or 6 for £5 on special offer?

Herenowatbroad · Yesterday 21:04

StillCreatingAName · Yesterday 21:00

I’m curious whether the “celeb” sis knows the Op thought… I know, I’ll start an AMA about her
