    Don't worry, I'm sure covid chat can make the Xmas gift thread a shitshow too.

    Is a person a ‘celebrity’ because they win ‘I’m a celebrity’ or are they a ‘celebrity’ before they participate?
    If a person is simply a relative, maybe a spouse, of somebody well know and often mentioned by the media, does that mean they are a ‘celebrity’ too?
    Is Greg Winter a ‘celebrity’, or would he have to be on a light entertainment programme in order to be celebrated?

    I think these days 'celebrity' is used interchangeably with 'famous/well known' @sethplum

    I certainly wouldn't call Hancock or even Jill Scott 'celebrities' whereas I would consider Boy George to be a celebrity

    If the majority have to Google their name and don't recognise their face from somewhere, they're not a celebrity in my eyes. That's why you can have "local celebrities" where they're well known in their town etc but no-one else knows who they are

    Greg Winter won the Nobel Prize, so he wouldn't need to be Googled by those in the know.
    Maybe Celebrity depends on quantity rather than quality.

    I have not heard of him and wouldn't consider him a celebrity.
    probably also not that well known to general public either, but I was just using Hancock and Jill Scott so show that in my opinion not everyone on Im a Celebrity is a celebrity per se.

    others may have different views though
