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?

@Watto1 I love this one!

I’m friends with a dog whose owner is in Eastenders. Never met the owner though!

You will just get loads of pointless vague my nexdoor neighbour is second cousins, with the lead singer of an 80,s pop band type answers Op
My tenuous claim,s to fame are ,I was a couple of years above lisa Riley at school
Jason kenney opened my sons primary school, Xmas fair about five years ago ,because it was his old school
And Jason kenney ,paddy mcguinness and Peter kay all went to my sons secondary school many years before him of course
Also my sil used to live near and serve in the phoenix club

I once got first place on Chris Evans Top Tenuous (crap celebrity link radio phone in, if anyone remembers it) for Coronation Street with “my best friend’s best friend’s best friend is Katherine Kelly, but I have never met her.”

Not meeting her remains true but I have met the mutual best friend so that kind of counts, no?

My dad played golf with Bruce Forsyth once.

(showing my age!)

I used to work with a lady who’s nephew was in the band ‘let loose’

A famous singer used to cut the grass where I work. His aunt was my manager and she was helping him earn some extra cash while he was in college.

My French teacher at School, Dora Wiggs, was an agent of SOE (the Special Operations Executive) in Nazi-occupied France in the second world war. I only found out after leaving school.

Also! When I was at school, my design tech teacher’s wife was friends with fatboy slim’s wife (I forget her name now) and they drifted after teachers wife got the hump because old Norman and wifey nicked the name Woody for their son. To be fair, teachers woody was 10 months older.
I wonder if they posted on mumsnet at the time… ‘my close friends have called their son something a bit unusual (let’s say Rocky) but we love the name and want to use it for our son anyway. Would that be okay? AIBU?’
