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!

Fun fact, Gordon Ramsay is Bella Ramsay's brother.

Gary Oldman and Laila Morse (Big Mo in Eastenders) are siblings

Jessica Simpson is Homer Simpson's daughter. He had her before he met Marge.

Genuinely, Angela Lansbury was
Granddaughter of a leader of the Labour Party
For a time, sister in law of Peter Ustinov
Aunt of Oliver Postgate (Bagpuss, Clangers, Ivor the Engine).

Rob Dickinson (singer of Catherine Wheel) is the cousin of Bruce Dickinson (singer of Iron Maiden (true) but in the spirit of this thread I’ll throw in David Dickinson as their dodgy Uncle (not true)

Chappell Roan is related to Westminster Abbey, but they had a falling out, so are estranged these days.

My husband used to think Helen baxendale and Kate beckinsale were sisters because their name sounds remotely similar

Here's a real one- Josiah Wedgwood (of the famous pottery brand) was Charles Darwin's grandfather.

First cousin of Oliver Postgate

Genuine - Jeremy Vine is the brother of the comic, Tim Vine.

Emilia Jones, who was Oscar nominated in the film CODA, is the daughter of Alex Jones, the singer.

Gary Barlow is Ken Barlow's son

OP, desperate to know why you think Clare Balding & Gordon Ramsey are siblings. Especially when Gordon Ramsey is from Glasgow (and has the accent to prove it) and Clare Balding is the daughter of a highly renowned race horse trainer and most definitely NOT from Glasgow.

Don't believe everything you read @FingertipSearch

I've read that Dr. Chris van Tulleken and Dr. Xand van Tulleken are twin brothers - what rubbish. They met at med school and thought "we can scam people as we look so alike" and have made a career out of it!

For ages I thought that Tony Blair was my friend Emma Blair's dad. I my defence, I was about 9 at the time

This one always makes me laugh.

Jason Orange is The Man From Del Monte's son.

I thought they were uncle and nephew.

Damon Albarn's dad invented All-bran cereal. Didn't want it to sound too similar to his surname so changed it a bit.

Those two families were incredibly intertwined. He married his first cousin Emma Wedgwood and a quarter of their children didn't make it to adulthood, which led to him studying the effects of inbreeding as part of his scientific work.

Fabulous!

Chris van Tulleken and Xand van Tulleken, on the other hand, aren’t related at all. Just coincidence.

Alexander Armstrog of Pointless is the grandson of Louis Armstrong, absolute fact and why he brings out his weird crooner albums.

Kat Von D and Kit Harrington are siblings and heirs to the fabulous KitKat fortune.

Charlotte Church is their mum

Yes she is!!!! 😆😆
