Did you go to school with someone famous?

[flowerflowflowering]

I mean someone who was famous back then, not someone who became famous more recently. Child stars, athletes, children of celebrities...

How did they act? Do you think the fame affected them?

Various members of the Byker Grove cast. Up themselves.

what article is this for?

I'm honestly curious! Why are people assumed to be journalists in so many threads?

Matt Willis from Busted. Did you OP?

One of the local div 1 football team manager's boys came to my school.

He was shit at football but did love other sports. Wonder if his dad's job just put him off it

The late Kirsty MacColl.

Nope, not in my school. A guy some years above me become a singer/musician(not super famous) as adult, but he wasn't famous as a child, though.

No. I even went to drama school and noone was famous, lol. One girl in my secondary school year was in a Tampax advert. Geri halliwell pretended to go to my school though. God knows why, lol.

One of the girl's in my DD's current primary school class was in the Morrisons Christmas advert last year. The fame hasn't gone to her head - yet 😜

A couple. One was a league one or whatever it was then manager's daughter, she was in my class. Completely normal lovely family.

You don't have to mention names if you don't want to, just the "kind of fame" they had :)

I was at school with lots of kids of famous people (80s pop stars, a very famous model, and randomly a former communist dictator. That made a bit of GCSE history awkward).

They were mostly all very normal, by the standards of my school. But it was a posh and arty madhouse!

Yes and no. Cheryl bakers daughter was a few years under me. Cheryl thought she was the bees knees.

Yes I did but it would be very outing for me to say who it was.

Kate Winslet
She was a laugh

They became famous as a result of a sport they initially did as a hobby. They were known in our local town for this hobby. They left school to pursue this and one day I turned on the tv and there they were.

I went to school with a cousin of someone who won the x factor.

Not pupil . But a teacher made the national and was sent to prison for been a peadophile

not me personally but my grandma taught Jordan rashford and Michelle Keegan.

Dawn French taught drama at my school. When she left for better things, she sang 'We'll meet again' by Vera Lynn over the school tannoy.

Christ no

One of the Milky Bar Kids went to my school, but he was a couple of years below me and I have no idea which one he was.

yes to child of celeb who is now a minor actress

and grandchild of famous author who became a model

neither were particularly nice.

Yes someone who came in the runners up group on X factor
