It is a tale as old as time finding out celebrities you love have famous parents.
You watch a brand-new great BBC comedy show and think: “Wow, that person is so talented, I’m going to read more about them.”
That’s when it happens - the dreaded blue link under ‘parents’ in the parent section of their Wikipedia.

Any Fleabag fans will have been devastated to read about Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s parents being landed gentry, and I’m A Celeb fans are now going through the same experience for N Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos.
Tulisa came to fame at a young age in N Dubz, which fans only just recently found out has an actual meaning, standing for North-West London.
Tulisa’s father, however, was a famous musician, who was a key part of a massive band in the 70s.
Her dad, Plato Contostavlos, played the keys in Mungo Jerry, which had the huge hit ‘In The Summertime’.

And several fans have been freaking out online after finding out.
One tweeted: “How have I only just realised that Mungo Jerry is Tulisa (N-Dubz) Dad?!?”
Another post said: “I did not know that Tulisa Contostavlos’ dad was the keyboard player in Mungo Jerry”.
A third, in reply to a fan who realised what N Dubz stood for from I’m A Celeb, said: “Did you know that Tulisa and Dappy's uncle was in Mungo Jerry of 'In The Summertime' fame?”

The original poster responded saying: “I did not! Turns out there are many N Dubz fun facts I didn't know.”
This led to an online discussion as to whether this made her a nepo baby, the most repetitive debate on the internet.
Thankfully, the argument didn’t stick around for long, with one poster saying: “I think they technically aren't nepo kids because N-Dubz first gained traction on pirate radio.
"But also Dappy's dad was their manager and their first album was named after him.. but yeah they weren't even the main guys in Mungo Jerry which no one cares about anyway.”
Bryan Contostavlos was also in Mungo Jerry, and is Dappy’s father.

Nepo baby or not, Tulisa has received a great amount of praise for her appearance on I’m A Celeb so far.
The singer spoke last week about being demisexual, which led to several sweet tweets of viewers realising they too may share the rare sexuality with Tulisa.
In addition to this, she spoke out about her infamous drug supply arrest in which a journalist pretended to be a movie executive in order to entrap her.
