This is the best one, it’s so unlikely 🤣

The best bit is that he came up with her stage name - an anagram of Mia Sorella ("my sister").

I don't think they are close from what I've read? He's not getting any of her soup fortune for a start.

I thought they'd had their inheritance removed now that it's been rebranded to TG Jones? Money is going to Ruth, Tom and Catherine-Zeta now I think? The Taffia will make sure that it does, I'm sure!

Sorry edited as I appeared to forget what capital letters were for a moment!

They'd already got all the family money out - that's why Will Smith calls himself Big Will

Oh they did? I wouldn't put it past him. As if the Fresh Prince doesn't have enough money already as the global ambassador for Febreeze.

And ‘Laila Morse’ is a stage name made up by Isabella Rossellini, who was dating Gary Oldman at the time. It’s an anagram of ‘mia sorella’, which means ‘my sister’ in Italian.

Bad Bunny and Bugs Bunny had a horrible falling out at a family Christmas years ago, but the brothers have put the past behind them and are reuniting to release a joint single this year. It will be called: ¿Qué Pasa, Doc?

Did you see where the programme where they met in person last year? Rob's brother Dr Sam took him on a quantum leap and they went for tea in Canterbury in 1169. Oh boy!

(Quite proud of this one I have to say!)

I'm guessing that as a member of the family you'll be invited to the Grammys next year too then!
