I had this friend at school who I didn’t really like that much cos she made me watch The Lion King. Her cousin married someone from Kula Shaker.

My friend’s dad is the director of Game of Thrones.

My ex's brother used to share a flat with the brother of Debbie McGee.

My ex-step dad once chaperoned Jenny Agutter.

On Echo Beach in Indonesia, I had my hair cut by a guy who when he was in Delhi, India, 3 months earlier, had cut the hair of a member of the Australian Cricket team.

When I was little enough to need babysitting, my babysitter told me with some pride that she lived just down the road from Mick Hucknall's gran. (But I rather ruined her anecdote by needing to be told who Mick Hucknall was.)

When I was 13 I took Teddy Sheringham's 2nd cousin on a "date": fish and chips.

My mum went to the same school as Annie Lennox, but not in the same year (Annie is about 5 years older) and they didn't know each other.
