Went to school with ex radio 1 DJ Joel Ross and a girl who worked at stringfellows, presented a p0rn channel and I believe even starred in a few (although I haven't seen them!)
Apart from that my Dad has been researching our family tree and has announced we are related to Dr Livingstone, and that one female ancestors was a maid to royalty and had a baby out of wedlock - father unknown but believed to be one of her employers.
Also that one relative was among the first rhubard farmers in the UK and became known as the rhubarb king of yorkshire!
Then again everyone who researches family trees tends to come up with wild claims like that. :roll:

Most of the above are pretty direct. I thought the point was that the link had to be tenuous!
My brother once took Tony Blair's kids coasteering
My aunt used to be Lee Evans' PE teacher

I saw Helen Baxendale walking along Hadrian’s Wall couple of months ago.
I met Richard Branson on holiday! Well he was sat 10 yards away having a drink in Old Pollensa square.
Robson Green used to hire cars from the family firm in the 90’s and I’d give him a lift home to Whitley bay.
My Gran lived next door to David Ginola (his wife was pretty fit!)

My girlfriend in the sixth form was in the same physics set as Alice Roberts.
Didn't even know she was on the telly until I saw her mentioned here:

Oh, a girl who once came to a party at my flat said she'd been in a yoga class with Kristin Scott Thomas. She (the girl at the party, not KST) was sub-letting a flat near République from Woody Harrelson.
One of my flatmates from my second year of university claimed that Mark Little (Neighbours' Joe Mangle) had bummed some hash from him at a party.
A friend of my wife's was on a kibbutz with Sacha Baron Cohen, and later sued him for slander.
I used to do bike repairs for a girl who studied acting at a school (ESAD) run by Marion Cotillard's dad.
A guy I used to work with in a bar in London has just married a French girl he met through a friend of a friend of Charlotte Casiraghi.
How's that for tenuous?
