A friend of mine had a cousin who happened to also be a cousin of Jim Kerr from Simple Minds. Although my friend was not actually related to Jim Kerr she referred to him as her half cousin. Another friend used to boast that she and Simon Le Bon were at school together, they did indeed go to the same school but not at the same time. Anyone else got any vague claims to fame?

zaphod 😂

When I was a teen I was a huge busted fan and in love with Charlie Simpson. My bf hated him for this reason. That bf (now ex obviously but still friends) is now kind of friends with Charlie Simpson and has told him all about me and how much he hated him because of all the posters in my room

I'm related very distantly to Danny Dyer, and I have kissed a man who kissed Catherine Zeta Jones. (Philip Franks who played Charlie)
