These stars are most certainly proof that talent can run in families! Some of these cousins couldn't be more different, while some have plenty in common – we're looking at you, Frank Lampard and Jamie Redknapp! Check out the famous cousins you never realised were related…

Melissa and Jenny McCarthy
Talk show host Jenny got Melissa one of her first jobs on a show she was working on, and told People about helping her with her career. "There is a crazy story going around that I once told my cousin, Melissa, that she would have to lose weight in order to get into show business," she said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. When she was starting out, I was fortunate enough to be in a position to get her a job on a show I was doing, to learn the ropes and get some experience on a TV set in front of the camera and behind the scene. She has accomplished everything she has accomplished through hard work and her extraordinary talent, and I've only ever encouraged and supported and wished her the very best."

Jamie Redknapp and Frank Lampard
Jamie is the son of football manager Harry Redknapp, who incidentally is also an uncle to Frank Lampard. The pair have both played under Harry while at Southampton and West Ham United respectively. Praising Frank on Sky Sports, Jamie has previously said: "What a player. Almost a freak of nature. When you talk about midfielders you would have to say Frank is the greatest goalscoring midfielder ever - not just in the Premier League - due to what he did and what he achieved."
