Nepo baby DJ and People Just Do Nothing actor shocks fans as they realise who his very famous family member is – but can you guess who?

Nepo baby DJ Hugo Chegwin’s fans are shocked after realizing who his very famous uncle is.

Hugo, 39, is known for his role as DJ Beats in the hit British sitcom People Just Do Nothing, and has worked with major artists including Sam Smith, Pixie Lott, Tinie Tempah and Leona Lewis.

And it turns out Hugo is also the nephew of the late Keith Chegwin.

Keith is the brother of Jeffrey Chegwin, Hugo’s father, and the TV favorite was clearly proud of his cousin’s achievements.

In a tweet before his death, Keith shared a photo of Hugo holding his Novello Awards and wrote: ‘My cousin Hugo with his two Novellos – Wey Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’

Hugo starred alongside Cheryl in 2:22 A Ghost Story, before having to withdraw due to medical reasons.

He was replaced by EastEnders star Jake Wood, who created the character in the play’s first run.

In addition to his acting career, the musician has made a name for himself as a successful composer.

Hugo’s uncle Keith died in December 2017 at the age of 60 after a secret long battle with an incurable lung condition.

The star died at home surrounded by his second wife Maria and two children Rose, who is married to White Lies frontman Harry McVeigh, and Ted who described him as a ‘loving husband and father’.

His family announced today that he had been seriously ill with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for about six months.

He told fans in September in a heartbreaking final tweet: “Still not good. I’ll be back. But not yet. I’m so sorry’.

‘Cheggers’ became a household name with the presentation of Swap Shop and Cheggers Plays Pop in the 1970s, followed by Saturday Superstore in the 1980s.

After a high-profile battle with alcoholism, he relaunched his career on Channel 4’s Big Breakfast, knocking on celebrity doors in the mid-1990s and shouting: ‘Wake up, beggars, it’s Cheggers!’.

Co-host Chris Evans tweeted today: ‘Very sad and shocked to hear of Keith Chegwin’s passing. The king of remote broadcasting.’

Most recently he appeared in Ricky Gervais’ sitcoms Extras in 2006 and Life’s Too Short in 2011. The Office star said today: ‘So sad to hear about the death of the beautiful and funny Keith Chegwin. RIP your National Treasure’.

He also appeared in Dancing on Ice in 2013 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.

His last pantomime appearance was in Beauty and the Beast in March 2016 – with a heartbreaking video showing the star breathless and struggling to speak while on stage during the production in Rhyl, Wales.

Mr. Chegwin had been a smoker in the past. Although smoking, exposure to pollution, acid reflux, some viruses and genetics can increase the risk of IPF, the exact cause of the disease is not known.

In a statement, the entertainer’s family said: ‘We are heartbroken to share the news that Keith Chegwin has sadly passed away after a lengthy battle with a progressive lung condition, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which rapidly worsened towards the end of this year.

‘Keith died peacefully at home shortly after midnight on December 11. His wife Maria, his daughter Rose and his son Ted were by his side.

‘We would like to take this opportunity to thank Severn Hospice for the kindness, support and care they have shown us over the last few weeks.’

“Keith was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. We would respectfully ask to mourn his passing privately.”
