Recent ones have included Paul Dunne the golfer and Conor McGregor from UFC.

U2 was always an amusing one
Think Graham Norton was claimed a few years ago as well.
Can anyone think of anymore?

The Echo used to do this all the time with all kinds of celebs, people like Halle Berry and that one from Sex in the City. They'd claim they were Scouse because their great grandparents once got a train to Lime Street and small time crap like that.
