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?

Oh one more; a friend of a friend shagged Justin Bieber.

My second cousin's brother in law is the actor Steven Mackintosh. The name might not mean much but he's the sort of guy you'll see in a film then go on imdb to find out where you recognise him from!

@Watto1 oh I wish they'd show the lovely drawings alongside the finished cakes!!

Many years ago I worked with the Aunt of Andrew Lincoln (This Life, Love Actually)
My friend is friends with a long term soap star, I don’t really know them but have seen them at events held by mutual friend
My husband’s Aunt was at school with Miriam Margolyes but in a different year group

Oh and I forgot - my dog is friends with the dog of a celebrity chef. They have the same dog sitter. I have never met the celebrity chef.

A second cousin of mine played backing on one of Jimmy Nails records.

My Great-Uncle was pally with George VI and the Queen Mother.

One of my old teacher's sons is married to Shona from Corrie😅

I used to babysit for Louis tomlinsons ex girlfriend

Christine Lampard's mum and my mum were cousins.

You win! 😂

My DH's granddad's 2nd marriage was to a lady, who's son was a roadie for Blind Faith & a member of the band came to the wedding.

My DH would love to know which one or even if was true. He would have been 6, so not quite the music fan he is now. 😁

I love all of these.

I have some really tenuous ones.

One of my best friends at school, her dad was the world Darts Champion.

Growing up, my husband knew the owner of a very mumsnetty brand of paint.

My daughter was best friends with one of Kate Moss' bridesmaids. Her parents are not unknown either.

One of my lecturers at uni was Philip Pullman.

My friend's daughter goes to school with Pixie Davies (the daughter in the new Mary Poppins movie)

As I said all very tenuous!!

Oh and 3 premier league football players!

One was the cousin of a friend from years ago.

Another married one of my ex students

And the third is the brother of my daughter's friend.

Oh and at primary school, I dated a lad who went on to become a footballer. He was professional but never premier league. He's now a football manager.

Margaret Thatcher's PA was my grandpa's cousin.

I've resuscitated a member of a well known rock band. I'm not going to say who because of confidentiality, even though he died the day after I successfully resuscitated him. But it's a 70's band that everyone should have heard of.

I used to live next door to Frankie Vaughan.

Badly Drawn Boy asked me to take my top off in Benicassim, a long time ago. I came back with an offer to take off my shoe. It wasn't accepted.

I was once in a pub with Graham from Blur (The Good Mixer in Camden).

@femfemlicious impressed you know Kemi!

Ooh, I worked with Melinda Medsenger's stepmom. These are getting worse! 😂

My daughter's friend's cousin is Florence Pugh. Love her.

My next door neighbour when I was a toddler moved away and was mates with Christian Bale at school
My cousin is mates with Chris Hoy
My mum sat next to keith Barron on a plane once

Ah that reminds me , the green Goddess ( I forget her real name ) was at my cousin's wedding and sat at a table with my parents.b

My mum used to work with Peter Andres auntie. She used to get me signed photos and once gave me some photos of him at a house party with some of the home&away cast, Danni Minogue and Isla Fisher in the 90s.

Also my ex did an extension on Rory McGrath's house

My mum is friends with someone whose son is married to Rebecca Ferguson from Britain's Got Talent.
