What are your vague celebrity connections?

[ANewNameForThisThread]

What are your barely related celebrity connections? Not the "I'm Bruce Springsteen's Sister " type but the much more loosely connected "Friend of my Uncle's milkman's brother" kind?

Love Jenny

I'm a second (or maybe second- once removed) cousin of a singer who is on the rise again, having been popular in the 1980s.

Another. My Dd was at uni with boys who were mates with Bradley Walsh’s son. They went to a big party there when Brad was away. (They may have been trying on some of his clothes)
Anyway, I call bs on this whole thread, as St Antony Head has yet to be mentioned. I hear he’s quite lovely.

I live in the village next to Ed Sheeran. My late father provided horses and carriages for a small film called The Bridge which starred Geraldine James, Joss Ackland and Saskia Reeve.. One of the actors needed to be taught to drive the carriages so he turned up at our farm and Dad drove with him to the local bank through the lanes in the carriage!

DP's dad once shagged Andy Bell of Erasure's sister.

I had a slight reading fail there...totally different outcome! 🙈🤣

You win

I used to work with the sister of the world's most famous author.

I have done a meet and greet with Britney Spears. Twice. She told me she loves my (Scottish) accent.

My 2nd cousin once removed had a small part in a tv programme where he acted alongside the girl who played tracy in tracy beaker.

Two well known actresses went to the same secondary school as me....all at different times.

My friends husband has a cousin who used to be in Coronation Street.

My adult sons friend is the brother of a female TV presenter ....his other friend is very friendly with a corrie actor.

I am distantly related to Bert Weedon. On my dad's side somewhere.

The company I work for, has a supplier whose owner has a brother that is a famous guitarist.

I'm related to the late Patrick Swayze distantly by marriage.

Infamous rather than famous, but a family member swears that they encountered Lord Lucan when he was on the run. Relative went to call the police and LL scarpered.

My partner once turned his car round using David Essex drive.

Kim Wilde is a third cousin of mine

Never met her or her side of the Family .

I dated a Nigerian Prince.

Saying that, I think all of his friends were also Nigerian Princes as well.

Ooh Rick A has just done a huge American tour with NKOTB. Looked great! Was Mike lovely like his brother?

Once saw the actor who plays Charlie Fairhead in Casualty in a Sainsbury's in Bristol, and the one who plays Roy Cropper in Tesco also in Bristol. The Corrie bloke came around the corner of an aisle and I didn't realise who he was, I just thought it was someone I knew from somewhere. I grinned and he grinned back.

I've walked past the end of Brian Ferry's drive and stood near Vinnie Jones at our local Remembrance Sunday.

my granddads cousin was Dame Vera Lynn

My Gran was a distant cousin of Ester Williams the swimmer/actress.

I’m still shook someone has shagged a chuckle brother and Mr Tumble.

@ToastieWarm was Huey fit in real life? Always had a crush on him!

I was on dragons’ den and got investment so speak to the dragons quite a bit.

I met Hank Azaria once, he came into a shop I worked in. (David in Friends and lots of Simpson character voices), he was lovely and spent ages doing all the different Simpson characters we asked him too! Really lovely guy.

My Australian penpal went to school with Kylie Minogue. She knew Dannii too, but not very well.

And some more: I had road rage once with Bryan Ferry, (he was driving like a twat & looked stoned).
He was also my friend's landlord many years ago.
Twiggy went to my school but years before me.
Two male friends had a GP called Dr Bush, Kate's father whose practice was at his house. They would make copious appointments on the slightest pretext just to get the chance to gawp at her.
