My sibling is a celebrity AMA

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.

Dear lord, can no-one think of a question that may be even vaguely interesting in its own right for @zedtree???

Here are some examples of who their sibling could be (but definitely isn't). There's a pretty wide spread of 'celebrities' most UK people would recognise without being an actor or singer 🙄

It isn't: Dermott O'Leary, Jamie Oliver, Will Carling, Chris Evans, Jimmy Carr. It's also not Fearne Cotton, Davina McCall, Rebecca Addlington, Sarah Millican, or Katie bloody Price.

Anyway!

My questions for AMA that isn't deadly boring or only aimed at outing who I am/they are:

  1. What was the car that was not sufficiently flash for them to get into? (this one made me chuckle ;)
  2. Is there a venue for a family get together they have flat out refused to consider (eg Harvester, Butlins, Peppa Pig World etc)?
  3. What has been the most annoyingly 'sleb throwaway comment they've made to you about something completely everyday without even registering what they were doing? (eg something in your fridge or piece of jewellery or where you are taking your immediate family on holiday)

Can anyone else help get the AMA back on track with some vaguely entertaining questions which aren't targeted at outing the individual?!?

Yes, is OP’s sibling is considered successful in their career.
I don’t think this question is outing whether answer is yes or no but op won’t answer that.
Op is focused on comparing her kids with sibling’s.

Caitlin Moran? Holly willoughby?

Yes, that could be it - that’s a good point. The other possibility that has crossed my mind is that OP is just an ordinary poster (like most of us) who doesn’t have a celebrity sibling or any connections to famous people and is using this thread to feel important and validated. So both possibilities suggest this is an opportunity for them to get validation.

Do you think people with celebrity siblings are any more important and 'valid' than anyone else?

Caitlin Moran? Holly willoughby?

Not HW, she only has one sister who is older. And CM doesn't fit at all, it is clearly not a journalist.

No, I don’t think that at all, but they do happen to get more validation and coverage in the media than the ordinary person.

Daniella Westbrook is actually a decent shout, fits better than KP.

Didn't OP say they're not in acting?

The troll-hunting is getting tedious. If you think it's made up just don't read the thread

OP, I couldn't say for sure who you are.

But - what I thought I recognised in the early posts was sympathy, perspective, humane intelligence.

Not specific details or vocabulary, but a way of thinking - which I thought I'd seen before, and remembered as unusual.

This post sounds like it was written by AI! Really vague and sycophantic.
