Move over nepo babies... it's time for the rise of nepo parents! From Jack Whitehall's parents podcast tour to Romesh Raganathan's iconic mum
He is one of the UK's most loved comedians starring in the hit series Bad Education and regularly hosting the BRIT Awards.
However Jack Whitehall is at serious risk of being outshone by his parents Michael and Hilary, who thanks to their son have become famous in their own right.
While the rise of the nepo baby has been well documented with many celebrity offspring being accelerated into the spotlight, it appears there is also a market for nepo parents.
Michael, 85, rose to fame after starring on his travel documentary Jack Whitehall: Travels With My Father alongside the comedian.
The hit series, which ran for five seasons from 2017 until 2021, propelled Michael into the limelight.
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
Michael and his wife went on to launch their own podcast The Wittering Whitehalls in 2022, which has since had over five million downloads.
The couple have also appeared together in Celebrity Goggle Box Stand Up To Cancer, as well as Chris and Rosie Ramsey's TV Show. The trio also co-authored the book How to Survive Family Holidays.
And now Michael and Hilary are stepping out without Jack as they bring their hit podcast The Wittering Whitehalls, to the stage later this year.
They promise an evening of unfiltered wisdom, wit, sage advice and opinions, drawn from nearly 40 years of marriage, bringing up three children and their onward journey with grandchildren.
But they aren't the only parents to launch new found career success off the back of their children's popularity.
Just like Jack and Michael's popular travel show, similarly Russell Howard recruited his mum for a road trip reality series.
Russell Howard & Mum: USA Road Trip saw the comedian and his mum Ninette drive around the USA in a minivan as they met people with a range of unusual hobbies and obsessions.
After airing on Comedy Central back in 2016, the pair went on to film three more series' including Russell Howard & Mum: Globetrotters which saw them also visit India, Thailand and Vietnam.
Meanwhile Romesh Ranganathan's mum Shanthi has become a much-loved figure in her own right thanks to various TV appearances alongside her son.
Romesh's family faced a turbulent time after his father Ranga left his mother Shanthi when the comic was just 12.
Originally, he and his younger brother Dinesh attended Reigate Grammar School, but were forced to move to a local comprehensive when their father was jailed for fraud and their family home was repossessed.
Romesh and his mother were forced to live in a B&B for 18 months before they finally found a council house.
And his close bond with his mum is evident and she has featured in a range of shows including BBC Three series Asian Provocateur, Just Another Immigrant and BBC Two show The Ranganation.
Most recently she appeared on Romesh's ITV show Parents Evening alongside Alison Hammond and her son Aidan, Carol Vorderman with her son Cameron, and Iain Stirling with his mum Alison.
Comedian Adam Buxton has also worked with his late father, who was a travel writer for the Daily Telegraph and wine critic.
Nigel Buxton was most known for appearing as BaaadDad in the Channel 4 comedy series The Adam and Joe Show as he frequently served as the butt of their jokes.
Nigel sadly died from complications arising from lung cancer at Adam's Norfolk home back in 2015.
The rise of the nepo parents has surprised Michael most of all as he spoke about turning the podcast into the live thing.
He said: 'The Wittering Whitehalls as a Podcast seemed a strange idea; What was a Podcast? But turning it into a Live show seems even stranger.
'But who knows? I never thought Travels with my Father would work. Come and see us and decide for yourself.'
Hilary added: 'It's bad enough trying to keep Michael under control at home. What on earth am I doing carting him around the country and putting him in front of live audiences? I must be mad.
'Where's Jack Whitehall when I need him? I'll just have to rely on marital banter, squabbles and laughter. Come and join the fun!'

This divisive 90s shoe trend is back for summer – and this is the pair to wear
Flip flops have officially been given the fashion seal of approval. From smooth leather iterations to jelly styles and classic Havaianas', the sandal style is just as likely to be seen in the city as they are at the beach this season. Minimalist luxury fashion label The Row led the charge last year with its 'beach flip flop' style, plumped for by the likes of Kylie and Kendall Jenner and Zoe Kravitz. Don't be fooled by the name, as these flip flops aren't seen anywhere near the sea. In fact, The Row's newest take for this season is aptly named the 'city flip flop' (£860, But you don't need to spend that eye-watering amount on the style; Ancient Greek Sandals were next with the Saionara jelly sandal (£125, worn by influencers including Lucy Williams and Lizzy Hadfield. The jelly material and pop of colour playfully nod to the Nineties. A more budget way to embrace the trend, the classic flip flop brand Havaianas is officially cool again, thanks to recent collaborations with Zara, Dolce & Gabbana and Gigi Hadid. Of course, the trend isn't for everyone. Some might look on with horror at exposed feet on the commute, while getting your toes out in the office is a divisive topic among colleagues. I cast my own reservations aside to road test the best flip flops to invest in this season – and one pair has shaped up to be my sandal of the season. Perfectly minimalist but sufficiently stylish thanks to the sleek red finish, Russell & Bromley's radford style is a hero investment. At £125, the flats are a more premium choice on the high street, but feel far less flimsy than many leather or faux leather takes. Here's my case for why you should invest too. How we tested I tested these Russell & Bromley flip flops alongside dozens of other pairs from the high street. Considering comfort, styling versatility, value-for-money and aesthetic, here's why I keep returning to the radford style. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Daisy Lester is a senior shopping writer at The Independent. She specialises in reviewing fashion, so she knows what makes a well-crafted, comfortable and on-trend shoe. Where flip flops are concerned, she turns to the best brands that combine affordability and quality, looking for trend-led styles that are still a timeless investment.

‘Youths everywhere were spitting over tinny beats playing off a Nokia': great grime photographer Simon Wheatley
It's an overcast Thursday morning, and photographer Simon Wheatley is doing a soft-shoe shuffle through Roman Road in Bow, east London, as a market stall blares out exquisite 70s funk. 'That's more like it,' he says, with a grin on his face. 'A bit of energy.' This was once grime's artery, its chaotic central hub, even its muse – a street Wiley once told me was 'the nurturer' of local talents like him and Dizzee Rascal. And it was here, in the 2000s, that Wheatley would create a vivid and intimate document of grime in its frenzied flush of youth, and of working-class neighbourhoods like this before they became considerably more sedate. Fourteen years after the release of Don't Call Me Urban, Wheatley's long-sold-out photo-book from that era – once described by Vice as 'grime's Old Testament' – it is finally getting a rerelease, at almost double its original size. I have arranged to meet Wheatley outside the bougie Roman Road coffee shop that was once legendary grime record shop Rhythm Division. This leads to some confusion – there are simply too many bougie coffee shops in succession. 'Back in the day it was absolutely thronging with people,' Wheatley recalls. 'You'd turn a corner and down a sidestreet there'd be six guys doing an impromptu cipher [a freestyle MC-ing performance] – everywhere there were youths hanging out, wheeling around on their bikes, spitting over some tinny beat playing off a Nokia. This was the heartbeat of grime.' Wheatley became grime's documentarian simply by walking out of his front door in Limehouse when he was 'just a broke photographer' in his 20s, and daring to take an interest in his young neighbours. He did so at a time when the media and MPs were condemning the same kids as delinquent 'hoodies' or 'chavs' – as if they were somehow morally culpable for the social problems they were enduring. Photographing rising underground artists for Black music magazine RWD gave Wheatley his 'hood pass', with now-famous images such as Roll Deep's 'ice-cream van' shoot, Skepta in a chip shop, Crazy Titch and his terrifying dog, Dizzee in the studio, Kano dressed as Scarface, or Tinchy Stryder and his crew Ruff Sqwad when they were still in school. Those shoots opened the door – although some suspected he was an undercover cop when he first showed up. 'I remember [Roll Deep's] DJ Target invited me to the When I'm 'Ere video shoot, and I saw this gaggle of youngsters hanging about, looking at me suspiciously. I realised that there was a whole world to uncover, with their lives.' Over time, he won the trust of his subjects. It helped, he thinks, that he is a 'a bit of an odd case, a bit of a weirdo' – an outsider among outsiders. Wheatley insinuated himself into the pirate radio studios and youth clubs that provided the DIY launchpads for so much talent. He shot not just microphone clashes and radio sessions but fights, drug deals, hectic street-corner tableaux and intimate domestic moments; teenagers watching TV, daydreaming, having breakfast, rolling spliffs, writing out lyrics longhand, doing each other's hair. 'For me, the texture of grime is there in the real world,' Wheatley says. 'It's there on the estate, or in the radio stations at 2 o'clock in the morning, where some deeply underground crew would have a slot – the bin bag in the corner overflowing with fast food boxes and drink cans, Rizla packets and rave flyers scattered everywhere.' Don't Call Me Urban is a social document of youthful energy, boredom, angst and joy, as much as it captures a generation of musicians on their way to fame and fortune. 'I always felt that grime was a reflection of that post-Thatcherite social breakdown,' Wheatley continues. 'It was that very coarse expression of a kind of individualism.' The paradox is that it was also 'very much about the community', about mates looking out for each other when nobody else would. He is defensive of the bright, creative young people who went on to change the face of UK music, some of whom have become his close friends; I have been with Wheatley while he buys nourishing groceries for a hungover Hak Baker, the charismatic singer-songwriter Wheatley was shooting in 2006, when he was a 14-year-old MC called Swift Leng. 'Now artists like Stormzy are superstars, people forget that the first wave were treated as an underclass,' Wheatley says. 'Grime now is just regarded as a musical genre, rather than a sociological phenomenon. But it was both of those things: an incredible sound, but also this angst-ridden reflection of youth culture on the streets. That's what gripped me, and that's what I really went hard after, chasing.' At times, this chase would lead him into sketchy situations, with people pulling out long blades at pirate stations (also caught on camera), and the police rarely far away. One night, he found himself in the middle of an empty field by the Docklands Light Railway, shooting a pre-arranged fight – football hooligan style – between boys from the E3 and E14 postcodes. Some of them weren't wildly impressed when his flash went off. 'That was very early on in my grime experience. Naivete has always been my greatest shield,' he laughs. 'I didn't really know what I was doing half the time, or where I was going. Crazy Titch said recently: 'Simon was so brave.' I wasn't brave; I just didn't know!' Wheatley's mentor was Philip Jones Griffiths, the late war photojournalist, and as a photojournalist himself, Wheatley has taken deliberate risks – going through military roadblocks in Chiapas, Mexico, disguised as a peasant while on the trail of the Zapatistas in the late 1990s, or plunging into the Paris banlieues during the 2005 riots. He is a physically dynamic photographer, well-suited to capturing the restless, fidgety energy of teenagers. 'I was a sports fanatic as a teenager,' he says, demonstrating some capoeira moves, 'and photography replaced sport for me as a passion. I can't really teach photography, but I can teach martial arts: I teach a combination of capoeira Angola mixed with yogic breathing and tai chi. I also fast before I shoot, just for a few hours, so my senses are sharper.' First published in 2011, Don't Call Me Urban was quickly out of print and in demand, its price soaring on resale sites as the genre exploded into the mainstream. 'It became almost like a relic that was appreciated by the connoisseurs of the culture, and it became this cult book,' he says – both as a rare visual document of Black British music heritage, and a source of creative inspiration. One of those connoisseur-fans is Clint Ogbenna (known as Clint 419), founder of streetwear clothes brand Corteiz, who turned one of Wheatley's famous shots of Crazy Titch into a jacket, and gave Wheatley the push and financial support to finally rerelease the book. As well as providing a unique document of grime in its heyday, Wheatley's work is a valuable visual record of every day life in east London, before the 2012 Olympics arrived and changed it beyond recognition. He is keen to avoid fetishising the pre-gentrification city: 'Who's to say all those changes are bad?' he asks. 'I'm sure some people are happy their flats have been refurbished. But artistically, texturally, there was something very gripping about a run-down block in a state of disrepair – it almost felt as if it was abandoned to the youth, to make their playground of hope, frustration and despair. There was much more atmosphere – nowadays everything is a bit cleaner.' The expanded edition of Don't Call Me Urban! The Time Of Grime (£65) is available now from Backdoor Editions.

First look at new £165million theme park opening in Spanish hotspot – five years after being abandoned
NEW plans have finally been revealed for the reopening of the much-loved Tívoli World amusement park in Spain. Located in Costa del Sol, Tívoli World closed back in 2020 due to financial constraints and the global Covid-19 pandemic. 3 But plans have been approved by authorities who met yesterday and will see if increase in size to include a large tourist complex with shops. First images of the site reveal that it could have a large wheel and a free-fall tower and that the shopping are will have brands like Domino's Pizza, Forster's Hollywood, Rodilla or La Tagliatella, according to Sur in English. These details will be confirmed at a later stage though. There is also expected to be two new hotels. However, the council has agreed that Tívoli will reopen before or alongside the complete complex. In total, the park is expected to cost over €200million (£165million) to redevelop and estimated to create around 1000 new jobs. As part of the agreement, Tivoli World will rehire previous employees - who over the past years have maintained and guarded the park whilst it has been closed to the public. Many former fans of the park took to social media to express their joy at the news. One user said: "It should be brought back bigger and more beautiful. Great." Another added: "Itching to go back to Tivoli." Kids can enter Diggerland for free with this trick Tívoli World was formerly loved for being a family entertainment hub, having originally opened in 1972. The first owner of the attraction - Dane Bent Olsen - dubbed the park as a "factory of illusions" according to Euro Weekly, with fireworks, a rollercoaster, a Chinese pagoda, a lake with boars and around 20 fountains that offered water, light and sound shows. The Mayor, Juan Antonio Lara commented that it was a historic step and that "we have no time to waste". "We're pulling out all the stops to fast-track the process," said Lara. 3 Tivoli World is around a half-an-hour drive from Malaga or about 40 minutes on the train. According to Experience UK, the park is anticipated to reopen in 2028. There are also a number of other great spots to explore surrounding the park including stunning sandy beaches such as Playa de los Álamos. And if you are wanting another attraction for the family, just down the road is Aqualand Torremolinos - which is home to a range of different water slides, a large jacuzzi, children's paradise and will soon have speed racer slides too. A popular beachfront theme park has also been forced to close twice a week. Plus, a major U K theme park to get huge new land by 2027 with rollercoasters, kids rides and indoor attractions. 3
