While some like to stay firmly out of the limelight, others also have their name in lights - albeit a little more under the radar.

From appearing in Casualty and auditioning on The X Factor to a bitter split from Big Brother star, these star's sibling all have their very own newsworthy stories, too...

In 2020, Anthony, who is 28, from Glasgow, got his big break on the BBC Scotland film Haggis, which he was scouted for while working in his dad Mark's fishmongers.

Earlier this year, he appeared in BBC medical drama, Casualty where he played the character of Barnaby ‘Baz’ Tunworth, who had been gored by a bull after he and a pal provoked the animal for a social media stunt.

Rushing to Instagram to congratulate him, Anthony and Lewis’s proud older sister Danielle enthused: “My other little brother on Casualty last night.”

Anthony, who has also appeared in the short dramas The Way We Used to Be and Sign Your Life Away, revealed that he was inspired by the pantomime performances his parents Mark and Carol used to him to when he was a kid.

However, it was only when he was aged 17 that he seriously considered acting as a potential career path.

Speaking to Glasgow Times in 2020, he said: 'I just remembered that year I saw how happy all the actors seemed on stage.

'Even after the show, they all seemed ecstatic when they were walking about. I wanted to try and give it a little shot.'

Harry Styles' sister, Gemma

She may be the sister of one of the world's biggest pop stars, but Gemma Styles – who’s three years older than Harry – is enjoying a successful career of her own.

The Sheffield Hallam University graduate is a writer, podcaster and is even following in her brother's stylish footsteps by releasing her own line of sunglasses, which are available at purchased at Baxter & Bonny.

The 32-year-old has been dating business analyst Michal Mlynowski since 2015 and the couple enjoyed one of their earlier dates watching Harry perform with One Direction.

In September 2015 while performing at the Apple Music Festival, Harry told the crowd: “I’m sorry if I seem distracted. My sister’s here on a date, and I’m trying to keep an eye on it.”

Since the 29-year-old found fame on The X Factor, the siblings have remained close, with proud sister Gemma appearing to be his biggest fan.

In 2016, she spoke to Another Man about her dread that Harry would be eliminated from the ITV singing competition.

"That call never came," she wrote. "He has just kept on winning and winning – maybe not The X Factor, but there’s no denying he’s golden."

She added: "My baby brother never came home again. He grew up, and all of our memories became his origin story."

Gemma also supported her sibling during his Love on Tour journey in April 2022 and gushed: "I am a proooooud sister all day long."

When she's not busy being her brother's biggest cheerleader, Gemma hosts a podcast called Good Influence.

On her website, she penned: “Each week, you and I will meet a guest, who’ll help us pay attention to something we should know about as well as answer some of your questions."

Amongst the topics that have featured include stress management, climate change and sustainable fashion.

Joanne Beckham

While his new Netflix docu-series 'Beckham' may have taught us everything we need to know about his career and personal life, there's one topic that the former England captain didn't discuss - his sisters.

Following in the footsteps of their mother Sandra, Joanne Beckham, who is seven years younger than her brother David, trained as a hairdresser at the Vidal Sassoon Salon in London before working in Essex.

But the 41-year-old decided to take a rather different career path when she launched a £400-per-month concierge service to help plan the social lives of VIP Londoners,

WeAreYour City was designed to be a Little Black Book guide to the capital’s most sought-after attractions which would supply shopping, restaurant and hotel recommendations.

Joanne went into business with her brother's fellow former professional footballer Jay Smith, but the company is no longer running.

And while 'David Beckham' and 'Big Brother' aren't two words you'd usually associate with one another, it turns out the footballing icon has a secret connection to the newly launched ITV reality show...because his sister dated a former contestant.

In May 2017 Joanne announced she was in a relationship with Kris Donnelly, who appeared in the 2019 series, and months later revealed she was pregnant with their first baby.

But just six months after daughter Peggy was born, their relationship came to an end.

Lynne Beckham-Briggs

David and his older sister's relationship was reportedly strained when she married Colin Every in 1999.

At the time, the footie legend reportedly didn't approve of Colin, but he still attended his sister's ceremony, while his wife Victoria was nowhere to be seen.

But the relationship wasn't to last and in 2010, Lynne divorced Colin, with whom she shares three children, and went on to find love again with Kevin Briggs, who later spent time in jail.

She left her job and was claiming £164 a week in benefits - something which is said to have upset David.

A source told Now at the time: "David genuinely had no idea how bad things were for Lynne and he has always tried to help his sister.

"David‘s always tried to look out for his family, so he doesn’t understand how things got so bad for Lynne so fast."

In 2019, the superstar's cash-strapped big sister was seen selling clothes - including children's trainers, raincoats and a table - on Facebook for as little as a fiver, just to make ends meet.

But the siblings appear to have squashed any rumours of any bad blood now, with Becks posting a throwback photo to mark her 50th birthday.

In the sweet family snap, the dad-of-four can be seen posting alongside Lynne, younger sister Joanne and their dad, Ted.

He penned: 'Happy 50th Lynne hope you have an amazing day sis you deserve it."

Ed Sheeran's brother, Matthew

Ed may be making headlines with his sold-out stadium shows, but the Shape of You hitmaker isn't the only Sheeran sibling making a mark in the music industry.

The singer's brother Matthew, who is based in Bristol, has carved out his own impressive career as a talented composer - albeit a little more under the radar than his famous brother.

Amongst some of his most successful projects to date include reworking chart-toppers such as Stormzy’s ‘Blinded by Your Grace’ and Ed Sheeran’s number one hit, ‘Perfect’.

Not only that, but he's also arranged scores to promote Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water and Russian series, Viking.

Matthew previously telling Little Black Book that he'd always dreamed of working in music.

He said: "I always planned to go into composing for commercials and films after university."

"This was an opportunity that presented itself.

"'I saw three different publishing companies that were all really good, but BMG was really exceptional. It wasn’t a difficult decision. It definitely felt like the right place to go."

Robert Pattinson's sister, Lizzy

Her brother became quite the Hollywood heartthrob after starring as Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, but Robert Pattinson's sister Lizzy is also a super talented musician and voice over actor in her own right.

And few people know that she actually had her name in lights five years before her younger brother gained recognition as everyone's favourite movie vampire.

Lizzy, who has recorded background vocals for a couple of the Twilight film soundtracks, was just 18 when she sang vocals for dance band Aurora's hit, 'Dreaming.'

She also went on to have a number one Billboard Dance Club Hit as the lead vocalist on German EDM band, Milk & Sugar's son 'Let the Sun Shine.'

And, if you think Lizzy looks familiar, that's probably because she appeared on The X Factor in 2014 and made it all the way through to judges' houses, before being booted out by Simon Cowell.

Speaking to The Mirror, an insider said she "didn't mention she was related to him [Rob] to any judges or producers.

"It's important to her she does not fall into the trap of just becoming 'Rob's sister.'"

The pair always speak highly of each other, with Robert gushing to E! about Lizzy's participation in the singing contest: "I'm just amazed that she's doing it."

Meanwhile, speaking to Absolute Radio, Lizzy said of her brother: "Rob's not really scared of anything…I can learn a lot from him, because he's not afraid of anything and he's very confident in himself…he inspires me quite a lot, actually."
