Lisa from look north weather lives over the road from my in laws.

I used to know the sister of the guitarist from London Beat. Thats about it.

I am related to and therefore know reasonably well a former presenter of the gadget show. Also Beverley Knights niece has been transported to a school netball match in my car. I wasn’t driving.

Stan Laurel is my great uncle.

Noel from Here Say was in the year below me at 6th form college. :/

Yes, my wife.

Do you know anyone properly famous?

Yes.

I once took Natalie Imbruglia’s dog for a walk. And no, sadly, that’s not a euphemism

My niece’s best friend’s mum is Luisa Baldini from the BBB news.

A fair few in my office…

That’s cheating Chunky!

Lol Dallaglio was in the year below me at school.

No one who is friends with anybody really famous is going to say on a public forum who they know. I respect their privacy.

I’m local, lived round Ampleforth area all my life,

I drink in Wass now, we get loads of ex boys staying there and the fathers come in for a brandy or two every now and again. You don’t need a pint in any of them for the name dropping to start.

I once saw Rod Hull in a shoe shop in Corfu.

This thread is degenerating well away from the op now…

Not really but I do see people who are always on telly on a daily basis. It’s just that it’s shopping telly at the minute so it doesn’t count 😆

Matt, I’m not having you loitering up around there…..

If we’re talking shit connections… I once bought Paul Heaton a pint to apologise for buying a pirate copy of the Beautiful South’s latest album.

If we’re doing crap celeb shopping top trumps, I’m going to double down. Camilla Dallerup (from Strictly Come Dancing) and her bloke Kevin Sacre (former Hollyoaks mentalist) shop in my local Sainsburys.
