Who would have as your celebrity husband?
Ice cream firm Viennetta this week claimed to have found the perfect celebrity nuclear family. Respondents to their survey had to rate celebrities on whom they would most like to have as their mother, father, sister or brother. But what they were not asked to consider was how the family would function.
Let's just imagine a typical family day. You (This Morning host Fern Britten, 20 per cent) get up in the morning to cook your husband (entrepreneur Richard Branson, 28 per cent) a hearty breakfast before he jets off to his holiday island to hang out with supermodels and pop stars.
Stuck at home with your two children comedian Peter Kay (24 per cent) and actress Billie Piper (18 per cent) you are forced to watch helplessly as little Peter stomps around the living room singing 'Is This The Way To Amarillo?'
Meanwhile young Billie has come home to announce her divorce to DJ Chris Evans is finalised and that she is to star as a prostitute in the school play.
As the day comes to a close and Richard calls from a hot air balloon 10 miles above the house, you remember to count your blessings that troubled blues singer Amy Winehouse only received two per cent of the votes to become your daughter.
Ah, the cult of celebrity. Something real alpha mummies have no interest in and widely shun.
