Just for fun, who would you like to adopt into your family?

I’m early 30s and I have always wanted Paul O’Grady as a grandfather :D

Quite fancy the idea of Rylan as a little brother too!

Do I get to pick one for a husband? In which case I'd have a polyanderous family.

TheTruthAboutLove · 18/12/2019 21:07

The entire cast of Gavin and Stacey.

But probably Pete and Dawn, or Uncle Bryn.

LemonScentedStickyBat · 18/12/2019 21:09

Would have loved Claire Rayner in my family

PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind · 18/12/2019 21:13

Jennifer Lawrence is my fantasy sister in law.

Santasy · 18/12/2019 21:14

Oooh I'd love Paul O'Grady as an uncle. We all love dogs so he'd be a good fit.

Also Graham Norton. We are also Irish though Catholic and not from Cork but I think we'd overcome those barriers 😁.

And Gloria and Jay from Modern Family as my in-laws (especially Gloria).

Sorry to hijack others ideas but Michael Palin would make a lovely grandpa, so I'd have him (or a grandpa in law)

Also anyone else who's kind, generous, a good cook and well off enough to live in a big house in the south of France or Spain who'd love to have this relly to visit!

Clawdy · 18/12/2019 21:17

I was just going to say Claire Rayner too! When DD was a tiny baby, I used to watch Claire on breakfast tv, and imagine her as my mum, coming in all cheerful and bossy, and sending me up to bed for a sleep while she sorted out the baby and tidied round!

MeganChips · 18/12/2019 21:19

I’d like Grace Dent as a sister. I always think she looks like she’d be great to get pissed with.

stophuggingme · 18/12/2019 21:22

Alison Steadman as Beverly in Abigail’s Party as my tipsy Aunt
Patsy and Eddy
Richie and Eddie
Liz and Dick
Elsa and Anna

absopugginglutely · 18/12/2019 21:23

Nick cave as brother.
Alan sugar as dad!

SnorkMaiden81 · 18/12/2019 21:24

Miriam Margolyes as my eccentric Aunt

Rik Mayall as by older Brother

Helena Bonham Carter would be a great Mother figure

My Dad? Hmm..... Rick Stein.

LittleSweet · 18/12/2019 21:31

I'd like Pamela from Gavin and Stacey to be my mum. She's really loving and funny.

I'd like Armistead Maupin to be my Dad, because he is sensitive, funny, kind and intelligent.
Mary Berry to be my grandma because she could have taught me to cook when I was little.
I'd like Jane Eyre to be my wise and protective older sister.
I'd like Bing Crosby to be my granddad and he would sing to me. I think he'd have good stories to tell.
I'd like to have Helen Mirren as my aunt. She'd give a kick up the butt and make me more sure of myself.

I actually don't have any family on my side as they're abusive and racist.
