A woman who I know from work is the mum of a very famous actress (never met the daughter). I know she is on Mumsnet as the mum was saying that the famous daughter loves AIBU. I dont know her username and couldn't begin to guess.
Are you famous reading this? Can you give us a clue who you are and risk us guessing? Does anyone know anyone famous on here?

I once went to Mary berry’s next door neighbours (the neighbour was editor of Cosmo I think )

twelveminutespast · 17/02/2020 01:11

Does famous mean the crap celeb type, or someone who might have invented a tin opener or the ring pull opener ?

EmmaGrundyForPM · 17/02/2020 01:39

I think I've read before that JK Rowling is/was on here but I think that was speculation rather than fact. Ditto Duchess of Cambridge.

RantyAnty · 17/02/2020 02:05

lol of course there are famous people on here. It's quite a large group so why wouldn't there be.

Why did people think of Cillian murphy as a sex symbol?

SisyphusHadItEasy · 17/02/2020 02:33

I am a legend in my own mind, does that count?

Toomanygerbils · 17/02/2020 02:37

I once met Gary Barlow, I count that as I’m famous/fabulous

woooooo · 17/02/2020 03:38

I was in my local paper recently - does that count?

angell84 · 17/02/2020 03:54

I am famous

I think the OP means a household name. A person we all know of - like for example Holly Willoughby, who might post on here incognito and we have no idea who they actually are.

FlamingoAndJohn · 17/02/2020 08:08

If someone is famous then they can post their woes on here and get proper advice on getting the kids to sleep, making sure a sponge cake rises, why is the cat off her food without people getting distracted by them being a famous person.

Given that if you are someone like Holly Willoughby you can’t even go to the corner shop for milk and chocolate buttons without people nudging and pointing being able to be a normal woman on here must be a relief.

Leithwalk · 17/02/2020 09:04

Great idea for them to post - they need advice and a view of life just like the rest of us - or even more so.

Not a celebrity but with my 'ex nearly retired headteacher' (boss) we always read MN - just to keep up with the views of what she considered 'mums who were younger than her' and 'working parents and their needs today' - it helped us to see views of schools and families from a perspective different to the school, understand and adapt policies accordingly.

My sister just recently got married to a well know comedian x

Jiggles101 · 17/02/2020 10:11

Sadly the only programme I'm likely to get on is the fucking news

CaptainMyCaptain · 17/02/2020 10:14

In the late 70s my hands were featured on the boxes of the Mothercare first aid cupboard and doll's house so they were seen in a lot of houses but nobody knew my name.

Casino218 · 17/02/2020 10:20

I'm famous....in my own little world!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/02/2020 10:53

webuilt yes I'm female ... ;-)

Ah, thanks - that confirms it! I hope you have enough left from his time in the spotlight to be able to live comfortably, yet enjoy relative privacy!

I'M BARRY SCOTT!

recrudescence · 17/02/2020 11:24

I’ve done a bit of TV ... well Crimewatch a couple of times. (Someone else played me and I was never caught.)
