So will David be organising a family reuinion anytime soon? According to Hello! magazine, apparently not. But he wouldn't mind. When asked the question, he laughed and replied, "No, I have no plans at the moment", but added, "That would be great."

Already reality TV royalty, Kim might be quite pleased to hear she's also related to a Prime Minister.

The Daily Mail reports that Kim is not the only famous distant cousin of Mr Cameron's. He's also, apparently, a fifth cousin of the Queen. That's right, the HRH.

David is descended from King William IV, who fathered a number of illegitimate children with mistress Dorethea Jordan.

The paper adds that one of them was David's great-great-great-great-grandmother, meaning Mr Cameron is a fifth cousin of the Queen. who knew?
