To not realise these celebs were related?!

[FingertipSearch]

Found out today that Chris Packham and Jenny Packham are siblings, as are Clare Balding and Gordon Ramsey. Learn something every day!

Oliver Platt? Distant cousin of Gail?

Andy Murray is the nephew of Bill Murray, who is Judy's older brother but they fell out over who inherits murray mints.

Conversely, the van Tulleken twins are not related at all.

I never understand why one of them doesn't change their incredibly common surname to a unique, hard to pronounce one to stop people continually making that mistake.

me three !

An actual real one...

Georgia Tennant, David Tennant wife, met him while playing his daughter on the set of Dr Who.
But her father is Peter Davidson... who is a previous Dr Who.

So she basically married her dad.

Serena and Venus are actually the children of Robin and Pharell Williams however their relationship didn’t last due to the strains of the competitive tennis circuit

Trevor Mcdonald is a vegetarian and so sadly isn't very close to his brother Ronald.

Does he still visit the family farm to hear the Pigs go Oink Oink here and the cows go Moo Moo there?

Maggie Smith is Fresh Prince Will Smith's mum.

David Tennant is the son of Trevor McDonald and Ronald McDonald's brother but as a lifelong vegetarian decided to promote beer instead.

Hugh Grant and Samantha Janus are siblings. Grant is his stage name.

Yes, because it's just over the Scottish borders so he pops in on his way to see his nieces Kelly and Amy.

Pat Cash didn't talk to his dad for years because he was so embarrassed about the song he wrote and performed about his battle with hemorrhoids.

And a fun fact. Kim Kardashian's dad Robert was a defence attorney for Homer’s cousin OJ back during the trial. Good to keep it in the family

Me too, utterly brilliant and I can't think of anything to add!

AA Gill was the Alcoholic… sibling to B.B. King, Cece Peniston and DeeDee Ramone … their dad was David Letterman

Your mindset is like mine.

This thread is the best thing about this week. It is brilliant!

😂

I knew about this, because their GG Uncle E.E. Cummings wrote a prophetic poem about many of his future descendants.

I recall that he was especially proud of LL Cool J.

They also have second cousins from the distant shores of South Korea called RM (of BTS) and V (also BTS). The Letterman’s have spread their alphabet far and wide.

Don’t forget their distant cousin ZZ Top

They were all murdered or will yet be murdered, admittedly mostly from beyond the grave, by the serial killer H.H. Holmes who himself was driven to serial killing by the obsessive jealous need to try to outwit his much cleverer older brother Sherlock. Sherlock and Mycroft were keen to distance themselves from him which is why he is never mentioned by them. Ever.

Wasn’t AA Milne AA Gill’s twin brother?
