Secret Celebrity Gossip #182

[panda_eyes]

I always get confused with what second cousins are, just looked it up, it's not the children of your cousins (which would be really ick), it's a child of your parents cousin. So yeah, pretty distant relation, I've never met any of mine either

So you've got the same great grandparents, and your grandparents are siblings? That's too close for me....

So what is your cousins kids to you then? I also used to think that was your 2nd cousin

Anybody spotted any pics in the Daily Mail of Emma Forbes on the beach in Barbados yet? It’s not Christmas until that’s happened. First spotter wins a Cliff calendar.

Bit early. Usually it’s after Christmas

Your first cousin's child is your first cousin once removed.
I've never been clear on this stuff either - I had to Google it

Jeezy peeps

Indeed
And your second cousins are your parents' first cousins' children.
Editing to add as I thought it was interesting, first cousins share about 12% DNA while second cousins only share about 3%

I’ve absolutely loathed her from the start so I’m glad people are waking up to it

Count me in, from the start I just didn’t get the love for Hannah Waddingham, I thought she was just brash, loud and very unfunny, quite vulgar really. I love Eurovision and she really ruined it for me when she presented it, ironic as that’s an environment where being very over the top should work, it didn’t for me with Hannah. I thought I was rather alone with this opinion of her, just one of those people I couldn’t warm to, good to see there are others who don’t get her either

I've met a few of mine and weirdly with one of them there is a strong resemblance to my brother, so it's a no from me

Yes, grandparents are siblings.

I’ve got friends who are second cousins and married. No one was allowed to give speeches at the wedding cos they knew they’d rip it out of them.

 

[Missmopps]

People are buying it for shits and giggles.

At their age it’s more giggles then shits

I to have a friend who married her second cousin. Let's just say the wedding was small, as there was just the one family.
My partner says they don't have a family tree, it's a family circle.

That's how the Hapsburgs got started.

What I don’t get about Mark Labett, he lost all that weight but still seems to be wearing his old clothes. Surely nobody is that thrifty?

I never understood where she appeared from. I'd never heard of her but suddenly she was everywhere and gaining national treasure status. Every bloody award ceremony she was there.

I know husband and wife who are first cousins - they’re really old now. I ask my parents if it was a scandal and they say not really, back then.

 

[funkimunki1984]

What's the tea with Mark, The Beast, Labbatt? There's been some stories on that bastion of news - the Daily Mail that he's a lothario and in a love triangle with his ex wife Katie and some TV presenter called Hayley Palmer. I couldn't read the article because it's a subscriber only exclusive but the headline caught my eye - not that I'm a gossip or anything!

I find it strange that anyone would want to go there. Grim

My sister’s first husband as the product of first cousins… she only found out after they got married. Dude was an absolute psycho. Couldn’t stand him.

i’m irish, so massively close with my second cousins so the thought of this is making me feel sick hahaha

How they finished too

I once met a taxi driver who married her first cousin. They had to have medical tests to make sure their children wouldn’t turn out too inbred.

 

[Amoo]

I can't decide how weird I think being married to your second cousin is?

Mark and his wife have claimed that they didn't know they were related when they got married.
