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?

My Dad used to work for Bonnie Tyler.

My stepson's ex Mil was school friends with Victoria Beckham's motherb and used to baby sit each other's children, has a photo of Victoria in the bath with as a tot with her DD. My cousin's wife's brother is married to the daughter of a very famous law lord. My son's school friend's mother is the great niece of the Queen Mother so Charles's 2nd cus. and has been to every royal wedding in the last 40+ years. I used to make a special order of small dinner rolls in my bakery for Ronnie Corbet, I had to give him them round the side of the counter as he couldn't really reach over the top!

I know Adam Peaty's sister - we use the same childminder. She's absolutely lovely.

30+ years ago I was in an NCT group with the wife of a TV journalist. He was often at home when we met in her house. We're no longer in touch, but he's still on TV.

My Dad’s English teacher was William Golding.

Just thought of a couple more.

DH had a piss next to Paul Weller and said his cock was averagely sized.

My mum's best friend at school went on to play Mandy Jordache in Brookside.

My primary school friend had a very talented family - his half brother is Paul King, his big sister was in a girl band called Solid Harmonie in the 90s, and he himself is an actor, he has been in NCIS and is now in Dynasty. We are still in touch and I'm so proud of him.

My friend's dog once bit Amber Rudd. We were plotting to train his new dog to target Priti Patel similarly.

My assistant used to manage the chap who faked his own death with the canoe. I forget his name. Same assistant is on a pub quiz team with Idris Elba. I keep reminding him that if someone on the team can't make it one time, I'm a demon quizzer 😆

I was in S Club juniors, does that count?

My grandma is a published poet.

One of my best mates cousin is a very famous footballer when he left our home team he got a shit ton of abuse, then he came back to play for our home team years later and all was forgiven & forgotten.

My ex ( dc's dad ) cousin married a very well know football coach/manager.

My son went to school with a footballers nephew.

My children are second cousins once removed (I think that's it) to Ron Moody aka Fagin. I'm not related to him in any way. None of the family have ever met him but my DC2 is doing an excellent impression of Dodger in his daily life right now so perhaps the genetics are strong 😂

I had a fling with an ex of Amy Winehouse and copped off with the Nescafé man from a few years back. The glamour.

I went to university with Chelsea Davy. My cousin briefly dated Damian Aspinall.

We went to Jarvis Cockers sisters first wedding. Mates with her first husband.
I used to work with the sister of the woman that Jarvis was going out with when he fell out of her window and broke his legs.
My husband’s family were related in some way to Anita Harris.
I used to dance with Steve Singleton, saxophonist from ABC in the Limit Sheffield.
One of my colleague’s husband teaches at the school Tom Hardy’s kid goes to.

I was in a relationship with Billy Connolly’s cousin. He was younger, but looked quite similar, sadly didn’t have the Big Yin’s sense of humour, or much sense of humour at all come to think of it.

My late great uncle's wife was the sister of someone who's grandkids are two famous sisters. There dad is quite well known too.
Ex neighbour is Gary Numan's cousin.

The man who wrote the Wombles theme used to live opposite us, but not while we've lived here.

I sat next to a woman at work whose sister had an affair with a chuckle brother

Oh and Dr Who attended DH's first wedding.

My brother was on the same landing in halls as George Aligayah at Van Mildert, Durham University.

I was once in the box office queue at Sadler's Wells Theatre and I dropped a £10 note on the floor. The man behind me saw it and picked it up and tapped me on the shoulder to return it. He was Dudley Sutton.

My dd was playing on a see-saw in the park and another little girl got on the other end and joined in. Then her Mum came up and we chatted. It was Jo Brand and Maisie.

I served Dave, (the husband of Maureen from the 90’s show Driving School) a pint. He said “Yes, it is me!”, even though I didn’t make any reference to the fact that I recognised him.

Guy Garvey went to my school (not at the same time). His dad worked in photocopying when I went back to teach at the same school.

Jennie Frost from Atomic Kitten was a few years above me at school.

My ex’s friend’s brother once dated Gemma Atkinson when she was in Hollyoaks and I saw her in a club once.

I taught Rebecca Riley when she was playing Debbie in Shameless.

I used to work with Tamara Ecclestone’s husband’s mother ! I also worked with Penny Lancaster’s mother and remember chatting to her when she’d visited her mother before going to London for the evening and her telling me that her and her friend go to certain hotel bars hoping to meet rich men!

An old friend of mine shagged Robbie Williams

Also Stephen McGann was staying in the holiday cottage next door to ours in Cornwall and helped me un hook a little fish caught on my daughter’s crab line !

My Gran was good friends with Ringo Starr's auntie.

My best friend's ex was best friends with Adele's ex.

I've been barked at by Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughan's dogs on many occasions.
