My sibling is a celebrity AMA

[zedtree]

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.

AMA

From what I’ve read, OP has answered questions relevant to what it is like to have a celebrity sibling. They just haven’t answered questions that they feel are irrelevant to that topic and that they feel risk their sibling’s privacy.

There is a big age gap between Katie and Sophie, plus Katie's current husband is famous (or notorious!)

I edited my earlier question so you may not have seen the additional one I asked - when your sibling was famous and you were in school did you have press/fans outside your home and if so what did your parents do to help mitigate the effects of that on you and other non-famous sibling?

I haven’t read the vast majority of mumsnet user replies because they’re not relevant to learning from the OP what their experience is of having a famous sibling.

See my post above..

I knew in the back of my head that Katie Price’s sister had tried glamour modelling and after I posted I did a quick google (I don’t know why I’m so sad/invested in this thread - think it’s because it’s so obvious it’s Katie Price that I can’t understand why the OP is carrying on) and Sophie Price did indeed try to get into the same business as her sister but wouldn’t go topless - hence ‘OP’ having a go and realising it wasn’t for her.

So many people are star struck. I wouldn't even know who was on big brother. Are you Jade Goody's sister or Alison Hammond's sister or someone like that? Or Ryland? I am impressed by people who win Oscars or Nobel Prizes. or Olympic medals. Not by the siblings of big brother contestants.

Well I find it quite interesting.

I think it's someone to do with X-Factor. Either a presenter or contestant.

All interesting questions.

This is a sad answer

I hope you and your sibling are OK. You must worry about them.

Zoe Ball?

It’s Peter & Abbie crouch. All fits.

Amanda Holden only has one sister and she's only a year younger.

-Sometimes but it’s often just easier to prioritise and work around them and I do it myself. Though their availability’s often greater than those of us working ‘normal’ jobs

-Yes even when people don’t come up you feel them looking. I often feel paranoid when I am with them.

-I think some people seem to not understand they’re a real person with a real life behind the scenes. Things are often not as they are portrayed.

-Yes, they definitely have trust issues. They’ve got better at it but there’s been lots of fake friends and they still have friends that I don’t trust.

-They don’t so much treat me differently any more but people do ask really inappropriate questions.

-They were asking if I would have ever wanted to be famous and I was comparing my feelings as a teen to now.

-Just happiness really

No abbey is one of 4 and Peter only has one sibling

They aren’t siblings? And are obviously in a relationship with another famous person

Ask me anything (I think)

Are you and your siblings the same sex as each other? Were you jealous that they were considered prettier than you? Is that were the jealousy stemmed from?

Interesting AMA thank you for doing it and if you are Sophie Price I love your kitchen.

Does anyone really give a fuck about X factor, or Big Brother, or any of that nonsense? Or any other way of being famous. OP, plough your furrow. Find your own route to happiness. Who really cares about fame? Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. It's the same for us all.

I’m useless with ‘celebrities’ and it doesn’t sound as if your sibling was very famous if they have just met a few of the stars from X Factor yet aren’t in the acting or music industry themselves.
They were on tv when they were younger and a little these days but their work has more or less dried up anyway from what you have said.

It must be a reality tv star. What other type of reality tv programmes are there when not music/acting related.

My guess is they presented something like A Place In The Sun/Homes under the hammer but can someone young do that without any experience or tv background?

Actually my final guess is Big Brother/Love Island too. That takes perseverance and good looks, no earned skills required, but charisma is needed. Also explains why the work dried up for the most part.

They had moved out by the time they became famous so it would mainly be their home not mine.
I think on the few occasions there were my sibling would leave or I would be taken out or made to stay with my grandparents.
i didn’t go out with them alone when i was a child or really go to their house that often.

Ah just been and looked back at OPs posts / is and corrected. One poster asked who OP had met through their sibling and another asked who the sibling themselves have met.

Still though, regardless of whether it was OP or their sibling I’d say Simon Cowell and David Beckham are very famous so not sure why people are scoffing at those names.

And let’s face it Katie Price (or if it’s not her, it’s someone of the same level of fame) isn’t going to be rubbing shoulders with Brad Pitt or Taylor Swift or people with that level of fame now are they?

Silly comment and nothing to do with the ops original post.

Can you at least tell us their sex OP?
Are you female and talking about a sister?...
