My wife is a teacher, and being a teacher she obviously teaches a lot of children. And some of these children have gone onto become famous. Two of the most famous ex-pupils at her school were unfortunately people she didn’t ever actually teach – and these are Rachel Stevens and Amy Winehouse (who I think was only there for a year).
There was one night, whilst watching one of the Big Brother opening night shows, that she shouted out “It’s Kemal” when one of the housemates entered the house, whom she had taught for a good few years.
But yesterday she came home and told me the best one yet.
You ready for this?????

One of her pupil’s uncles was an Oompa Loompa in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!!!

It doesn’t get any better than that.
Who needs Amy or Rachel when you’ve got an original Oompa Loompa???
