Who would be your celeb parents?

Sir Bob Geldof who has been voted best celebrity dad
Bob Geldof, who has three daughters, has been voted the top celebrity dad in an online survey carried out by remind4u.

He knocked dad-of-three David Beckham into second place and Jamie Oliver who has two young daughters came third.

But who would you pick for a celeb parent if you could?

Would it be Becks or Michael Owen so they'd teach you to play football?

Maybe you'd like your favourite author so they could read you a good bedtime story?

Or perhaps you reckon Johnny Depp would make a great dad - especially if you could join him on some of his film sets!

I think it would be awesome to have Johnny Depp as your dad!! And for a mom I would probably choose Keira Knightley because I think she's a great actor and she's really pretty!
Ashley, 15, London

I would like my dad to be Peter Nicol because he is a mint squash player. My mum would be Kelly Homes because I like running like her.
Abbie, 10, Cumbria

I think all of the Gorillaz crew should adopt me - purely for their weirdness!
Naomi, 13, Kent

I would have Keira Knightley as my mum and Johnny Depp as my dad and Lindsey Lohan as my big sister!
Grace, 14, Lincoln

I would like to have Kirsten and Sandy Cohen, Seth's mum and dad from the OC as my parents because I believe that they are incredibly smart and funny. I'd also like Jennifer Aniston as my mum. I don't know but when I see her talking I feel like she would be the perfect mum.
Sophia, 15, Greece

I wouldn't want to change who my mum is, but I'd love it if Jamie Oliver was my dad because I've got a real passion for cooking.
Natasha, 14, Liverpool

I wouldn't particularly want celeb parents as you wouldn't be able to see them much because they would be working loads, especially actors and actresses. Also you wouldn't be able to have a private life and if your parents got divorced it would be all over the papers. I'm happy with the parents I have!
Stacey, 12, Gorleston

I would like JK Rowling as my mum and Philip Pullman as my dad because then I would get to be in brilliant movies and read the books first!
Amy, 13, Northallerton

Mine would be Chantelle and Preston because Chantelle is girly like me and Preston is sweet.
Eloise, 13, Salisbury

I like my mum and dad I don't want to change them but if I had to pick someone I would probably pick either Keira Knightly or Madonna for a mum and Nigel Harman for a dad.
Sophia, 9, Doncaster

I'd love to have Bob Geldof as a dad because I'd get such a cool name and I'd want Angelina Jolie for a mum because she's so cool (and rich too, hee hee!). My name would be something like Strawberry Cherry Blossom Geldof-Jolie!
Caity, 12, Newcastle

I think it'd be AMAZING to have Johnny Depp as a dad!
Grace, 14, Nottingham

KT Tunstall would be a fantastic mum to have, she'd be so cool and funky!!! She would be able to sing at you birthday party!
Benjamin, 14, Arbroath

It would be awful to have celebrity parents as you would never see them. Just because they are rich and famous, it doesn't mean that your life would be any better!
Clara, 12, Oxford

My celeb parents would be Billie Joe Armstrong and Avril Lavigne or Ryan Giggs and Lindsay Lohan. Ryan Giggs because he could take me to all the football matches or Billie Joe Armstrong because I could go to all the concerts and he could teach me to play the guitar!
Amy, 13, Unknown

It would be so cool to have John Cleese as my parent because I am a big fan of Monty Python and I would love it if my dad was in all the films then I could get the catchphrases and all the stupid comments from the films!
Andy, 13, Aylesbury

J.K. Rowling and James Blunt maybe.
Niamh, 10, Corstorphine

I don't want celebrity parents since most of the time they end up divorced!!
Rahul, 13, London

Jeremy Clarkson would be the idea dad if you want a Ferrari for your sweet sixteen! For my mummy I'd chose Janet Street Porter because she is class!
Tal, 13, Newcastle

My celeb parents would be David Beckham because he cares about his kids and Angelina Jolie or Liz from Blue Peter, Because they are all really happy and nice and have got great fashion sense!
Nowrin, 12, Nottingham

To me, my parents are already famous. Why would I need to change them?
Holly, 12, Anstruther

As a mom I would love Angelina Jolie, I just love her! She's amazing and as dad I would be cool Johnny Depp! And as a big sister Emma Watson!
Ani, 14, Costa Rica

Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom, or Jennifer Aniston and David Beckham. Or maybe Paris Hilton as she's rich!
Charli, 11, Leicester

What makes them any different to our parents? I'd pick mine over any shallow celeb any day.
Sophie, 15, East Sussex

I'd never change my mom or dad but if I had the choice I would have Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman - if they had stayed together!
Geo, 15, Tallington

I am happy with my own dad, because he is cool and he climbed Kilimanjaro to raise money for charity.
Kyle, 7, Guildford

Chico and one of the Sugarbabes! How cool would that be! And if I couldn't have Chico then I would chose Beckham!
Charlie, 13, London

I wouldn't change my mum or dad for the world!
Lucy, 13, Poole

Avril Lavigne and Daniel MacPherson, because they're both cool people!
Angharad, 15, Wales

I would chose Hilary Duff and Johnny Depp!
Jessica, 12, London

My celeb parents would have to be Julia Walters And Gary Oldman because Julia Walters is mental and Gary Oldman is an amazing actor, plus they both seem very down to earth and smart!
Laura, 11, Cheshire

I wouldn't like other parents - I love mine and I think they're the bet parents in the world.
Daisy, 12, Bristol

I would like Bob Geldof or Steven Gerrard to be my dad and Jacqueline Wilson or Frankie out of Coronation Street to be my mum.
Shazia, 11, Manchester

JK Rowling! I could try and convince her to show me more clues! And David Beckham wouldn't be too bad either! though.
Salma, 14, USA

I am perfectly happy with who my parents are. I wouldn't like a celeb for a parent because they might be over-protective of me.
Rosie, 13, Petersfield

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt because of all their charity work and they are great actors!
Amy, 12, Banbridge

Hmmm, probably KT Tunstall and Chris Martin!
Cara, 11, London

Cheryl Tweedy and Ashley Cole! They both seem so down to earth and try and keep out of the media spotlight as much as possible so in a way it wouldn't be as if they were that famous!
Catrina, 13, Sheffield

Hilary Duff would be so cool as a mum. I know she is young but she is so caring and beautiful so she would be fab!
Louise, 14, West Brom

Mine would be Usher and Britney Spears.

My ideal celeb parents would be James Martin & Dawn French because then I'd get lots of yummy food and lots of laughs!
Tom, 11, Sheffield

Andy Abraham would be my celeb dad as he really cares about his family and it would be really cool to have your dad on the X-Factor!

I would not want celeb parents because people may not like me if they don't like my parents and my friends may treat me differently because I have famous parents.
Jasmine, 15, Brighton

I'd like F1 superstar Kimi Raikkonen as my dad as he has a big house, earns bucket loads of money, isn't that famous so there would be privacy.
Lilie, 11, Bath

I wouldn't like a celebrity Mum and Dad. Okay, they would buy anything you want but then again they would always be working. Plus, you could come across some hurtful things people say about them in something like a magazine.
Mehreen, 12, Accrington

Mine would be Billie-Joe from Green Day and my mum would be Kylie!
Callum, 9, Sandyway

I would love to have any great fashionable celebrity as a mum or dad as you could go shopping with them whenever you wanted and get anything!

Hope, 9, Rugby

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt!!
Jasmin, 15, Bradford

Ashley Cole and Cheryl Tweedy! You could go shopping and learn great footie tricks!
Rachel, 12, Leeds

I would have to choose Billie-Joe Armstrong from Green Day or Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance as they could both teach me a thing or two about how to play guitar riffs, whilst telling me all about their highs and lows in their band! It would be so cool!
Aimee, 13, Runcorn

It would be SO cool to have Steve Irwin as a Dad, you'd get to meet all kinds of amazing animals.
Chantal, 15, Sevenoaks

I love my mum and dad but I think it would be cool to have Johnny Depp as a dad because he is wicked and would be a great laugh and what about Keira Knightley as a mum? I know she is young but she wouldn't be embarrassing could always take you shopping and buy you great clothes! I suppose that's more like a big sister!
Chloe, 14, London

Jamie Oliver would be a cool dad as you would always get something tasty for tea!
Alex, 9, Warwick
