Man is coaxed by pals into revealing his uncle as ultra famous sportsman – just minutes after comedian’s daughter was spotted at the races

Racegoer Harry Owen was coaxed by pals into revealing that he had a very famous uncle in a hilarious clip.

Students events company INVADES shared clips of a presenter casually interviewing guests at a Haydock Park, in Merseyside, racecourse earlier this week.

Her go-to question for the students was to quiz them on who the most famous person in their phone contacts was.

But the interviewer was left floored when a group of friends all pointed to their pal Harry as the closest person to fame they knew – before he revealed he was the nephew of none other than Liverpool striker Michael Owen.    

‘Can you tell me your famous contact?’ the interviewer asked, before one man pointed to a friend behind her and said: ‘Just this guy behind you right here.’ The camera pans around to a young man called Harry Owen and his group of friends all subsequently say he is also their most famous contact. 

The interviewer asks: ‘Mr Harry Owen do you have a most famous contact,’ to which he replied: ‘Maybe.’

‘Can I know who it is?’ she probes, before Harry says: ‘Emmmm my uncle.’

‘And who is your uncle… who is Mr Owen?’ the interviewer continues, as Harry finally admits: ‘Michael Owen.’ 

The reveal came in the same clip as another huge famous face made an appearance. 

Elsewhere in the clip, the interviewer was again left stunned after another racegoer revealed her mother to be iconic British comedian Catherine Tate.

In the clip, the interviewer stopped a young racegoer to ask her: ‘Who is your most famous contact?’

The girl then casually replied: ‘My Mum,’ before repeating the catchphrase that first made her mother a star.

Revealing that her mother was, in fact, Catherine, she said: ‘Am I bovvered? I’m not bovvered you are!’

The catchphrase was famously uttered by Catherine’s character Lauren, which featured on her sketch series, which aired from 2004 to 2007.

Her daughter, Erin Clark, 22, then went one step further by Facetiming her mother during the interview, asking the Doctor Who star to ‘say hi’ to the camera.

While Catherine offered a wave to the camera, Erin added: ‘She’s in LA right now living the life.’

Catherine added: ‘How are you? I can’t believe you, I’m on the freeway,’ before Erin ended the call by saying: ‘Alright thanks for showing up Mum! Love you!’ 

The post sparked a flurry of reaction from fans on social media, with comments including: ‘That’s a flex her Mum’s a legend;’

‘She looks just like her Mum; Awww I love Catherine Tate.’

Catherine shares her daughter with stage manager Twig Clark.

The pair split in 2011 and Catherine was then briefly linked to Take That star Jason Orange before starting a relationship with broadcaster Adrian Chiles, which reportedly ended in December 2013. 

It was then revealed in 2019 that she was engaged to American screenwriter and divorced father-of-three Jeff Ghutheim. 

A source told The Mail On Sunday at the time: ‘Catherine and Jeff have known each other for years,’ said a source. ‘Jeff is a screenwriter, so he and Catherine have been working on several writing projects together.

‘He’s a funny, good-looking guy but it’s been hard for his ex-wife to deal with the fact that he is dating someone so famous.’
