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.

Is it Dean Gaffney?

😂

MaggiesShadow · 15/08/2026 17:39

What industry are they in?

Does the family live off their money?

They are not A list, the vast majorly of the uk will recognise and know who they are but not worldwide.

Are they famous through reality tv or are they an ‘artist’ (actor, singer etc).

Sesame2011 · 15/08/2026 17:41

Do they easily maintain a steady income?

Digerydont · 15/08/2026 17:41

Sis, I told you not to do an AMA

What level of celebrity and through what medium?

I’m not going to say what they do. They're not A list but are recognised every time they go out in the uk.

This is Gary Gaffney!! Dean's older brother. The two have had a strained and estranged relationship after Gary publicly sold various personal stories and tabloid allegations about the actor to the UK press. 😱😂

Who is the most famous person you have met through them?

Maybe Simon Cowell. I haven’t met many people through them.

How has it affected your siblings DC?

They’ve been used and betrayed a lot. They’re not very happy and struggle to have any sort of life away from fame.

Well, you're not going to say much, obviously.

MrSchubertWhiskers · 15/08/2026 17:48

Do they enjoy being famous?

Changeusernames · 15/08/2026 17:48

Are you Danielle Mason/ Jessie Wallace’s’ sister?

Thestealer · 15/08/2026 17:48

It's a bit boring not knowing who they are.

This isn't really an AMA is it? Surely it's not outing to say whether your sibling is in music, acting or something else on TV?

My former neighbour is a TV presenter on regional TV. He has an older sister. Have you worked out who he is yet?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 15/08/2026 17:50

Why start an AMA if you don’t really want to say anything?

Woman four doors down from me met Simon Cowell because her son worked on Britain's got Talent

Are they down to earth?

In some ways, they had the same normal happy childhood so to me when we are together as a family they are. I knows there’s many other people who know them who would say they are not though, there’s lots of normal adult things they’ve just never experienced so can’t they understand or appreciate them.

Ask me anything - but I’m not going to answer !!

chaosmaker · 15/08/2026 17:52

are they famous for something they do - actor, singer, celebrity vet or just an influencer type thing?

zedtree · 15/08/2026 17:52

MrSchubertWhiskers · 15/08/2026 17:48

Do they enjoy being famous?

Yes but they would probably agree it hasnt made them happy
