I'm realted to Harry Enfeild, the actor, he was Tony's dad in Skins :)
And Michael Foot, a politian who's famous to like adulty people
And my dad - Paul Foot, wrote loads of books and was also a very good politian :)
(i know the polititians probably wont be known by most of you.)
And the last two are really really really well known in their own worlds, people always used to stop my dad on the steet, and he had over a thousand people attend his funeral...

My dad is a regional television and radio presenter and also is a journalist for the Telegraph. My grandad was a political and economical author and broadcaster...
We thought that we were related to Arlene from Strictly Come Dancing, but as it turns out, we're just related to another Arlene Phillips who does dance shows...

A singer from Canada called Michelle McAdorey. It's a comlicated conection. Its kind of like a 3rd cousin then something eles after that :conf2:
Also, this isn't really fame, but my dad ran in the Sydney 2000 olympics and was the fastest man in the world of his age for a wile way back in the 90's. He's called John McAdorey. He's been on the UTV (ITV) sports news countless times and also has had other short TV appearances, and helped coach athletics up at the Antrim forum and a school for back up not to long ago. Also, some of you might have heard of his coaches, Meave Kyle and Sean Kyle (previously Oylimpic coaches) , Meave who coinsidently taught another realtion of mine PE at one point lol. He doesn't run anymore, but deos Ju-Jitsu, and is head Lifegaurd and fitness instructer at Ballymena Lesuire centre now.
I really want to follow in his footsteps.
BBC article: Look out for my name being mentioned! Its somewhere :)

Not really related but:

My half-brother is a minor actor who has appeared in Eastenders. He currently plays "Adam Carnegie" in The Royal.

My great Uncle is Lee Bowers
Lee Bowers of Earby (on the Lancashire, Yorkshire border) was a British top three Strongman before a recent break to study for a sorts psychology degree. Lee trains at Barnoldswick's Rolls Royce gym and has twice entered the World's Strongest Man competition. Lee modestly says, 'I am the biggest and best-looking strongman in Britain, but I can see the cash being the attraction to a lot of the other top competitors if the calendar permits.'
I remember when he pulled a truck on Blue Peter
