Yes - household name actor.

There’s a building at Newcastle University named after my late second cousin who was a professor there. He was much older than me, I didn’t really know him.

totesembarrassing · 23/03/2023 21:08

Yes- and it's so embarrassing that I've changed names for it!

I'm closely related to Roy Chubby Brown - and no, I'm not his wife! He's not particularly like his stage persona - that comes out when the flying goggles go on.

But yeah - it's not one I shout about!!

Edward III

Sorry, probably not the point of this thread but it's true :)

🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing! That really made me chuckle.

totesembarrassing · 23/03/2023 21:11

@LightDrizzle excruciating isn't it? 😀 I can't tell you the amount of northern clubs I had to trail around back in the 80s. My grandad used to play the organ in all the working men's clubs and Roy spent a lot of time in them

Calvin Harris' sister used to be on here, but not sure if she still is.

Not since he got his happy ending I don't think.

Isn't his real name Royston Vasey. Or am I thinking of someone else?!

Bunnyhascovidnoteggs · 23/03/2023 21:15

My dm's cousin is married to a woman who's cousin is Onslo from Keeping Up Appearances..

totesembarrassing · 23/03/2023 21:16

@YetiTeri yep that's right

KateAusten · 23/03/2023 21:17

My brother is an A- list celeb but I can't tell you who he is

MissHoollie · 23/03/2023 21:18

My late uncle was a famous BBC radio DJ
Had some fun times

Dorisbonson · 23/03/2023 21:26

I know someone who reads (or used to read) this site who is a well known royal. I am not in touch anymore.

MashedUpPotatoes · 23/03/2023 21:34

Mine is Peter Stringfellow 🙈
And yes have named changed!

NorthernDrizzle · 23/03/2023 21:35

My sister is well known- not famous per se as in a household name but very well known in her wide professional field and lots of people are very surprised that I am her sister. Thousands and thousands of hits on her professional name.

I used to live near him-very very close in fact- nice man- does he still live in East Harsley?

SpottyStripyDuvet · 23/03/2023 21:37

One of my DH's cousins was in a 90's boy band. They had a couple of hits here but were massive in Europe. These days he does a normal job and is married with a child so has an absolutely avergae life. He still gets recognised walking down the street in places like Paris and Berlin though.

DH's aunt used to run the fan club and was once sent hundreds of pairs of socks by a company as a promotional thing. They were distributed amongst the male members of the family. This is the only tangible benefit DH has seen from his "famous" relative.

I have only met him a couple of times but he seems alright.

I saw chief inspector Brownlow (the bill) in a cafe in London 30 years ago and I touched a womble in 1977 at the studios in pebble mill in brum.

Se there

Twizbe · 23/03/2023 21:44

I'm apparently related to Edward III - not sure that counts though.

Possibly related to Sir Francis Dereham (the one who had an affair with Katherine Howard) mum is still trying to find proof of that relationship.

magimedi · 23/03/2023 21:45

Llyod George knew my father...............................

(That really dates me, be interested to see who knows the next line :D)

Bubbles2022 · 23/03/2023 21:45

My cousins cousin is married to a member of a huge band.

He's lovely apparently.
