Degrees of separation

    Now on her fourth marriage, Patsy Kensit can count Dan Donovan, Jim Kerr, Liam Gallagher and Jeremy Healy among her conquests. But which other celebrities can she be linked to in fewer than six degrees of sexual separation?

    Well, Patsy has dated David Walliams, who hooked up with Abi Titmuss, who was linked to the the lotharian charms of noted male tart Callum Best. But how can we connect swordsman Callum to rock widow Courtney Love in just three steps?

    Apparently, Courtney dated model Jamie Burke (us neither), who also spent time with Callum's ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan before she decided to steer clear of the unfairer sex (and frankly who can blame her). But there are plenty more people in Courtney's radius of disastrous dating...

    Yes, in just six degrees of separation, we can get all the way from the Hole singer to the rather more glam Pam Anderson. The lovers' list runs as follows: Courtney Love was allegedly seduced by Russell Brand, who apparently chased after Dita Von Teese, who was married to Marilyn Manson, who dated porn star Jenna Jameson, who also had a go on Tommy Lee following his divorce to Pammy.

    And we can move from big love in the States to hook-ups in Little Britain in just four moves. Pamela Anderson apparently once dated Robbie Williams, who is said to have had a brief affair with Geri Halliwell, who is said to have been on the wrong end of David Walliams's ardour. But how can we country-hop from Little Britain to Jordan?

    Well, David Walliams allegedly boinked Abi Titmuss, who was dinged by Big Brother nobody Ziggy Lichman, whose ex-partner Suzanne Shaw has also played the grown-up version of keepy-uppy with Frank Lampard, whom we can count among Katie Price's conquests.

    And Jordan's links to the footballing fraternity don't end there, as she dated Teddy Sheringham, who was in a high-profile relationship with Danielle Lloyd, who also had a fling with Marcus Bent. Along with plenty of other people. But how do we get from Marcus to Katie Price's Poundland equivalent?

    Well, Marcus Bent has also been out with Gemma Atkinson, who dated fellow Premier League homunculus Alan Smith, who reportedly has a whole lotta history with Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding, who is well known for her relationship with Calum Best – a man who has a notch on his bedpost in honour of Jodie Marsh.

    And it's with crushing inevitability that we can link Jodie Marsh to the UK's current #1 swordsman Steve Jones, via Callum Best (yes, again); Rachel Hunter; Fred Durst; and Steve's ex Halle Berry. But can we get back to where we originally started – serial rock wife Patsy Kensit – in fewer than six moves?

    Of course we can! Steve Jones apparently briefly dated Natalie Imbruglia, who supposedly has carnal knowledge of Robbie Williams, who dated Nicole Appleton prior to her marriage to Liam Gallagher, who was the third husband of Patsy Kensit! Ta-daa! Trips to the GUM clinic all round.
