Fans are going wild after realising that singer Sabrina Carpenter has a very famous relation, and one that many of us will have grown up knowing.
Sabrina initially shot to fame as a Disney child star in Girl Meets World and actually has TV links thanks to a famous aunt who is someone you will definitely have heard of before.
The singer, who recently performed at Coachella and is currently topping the charts with her single 'Espresso', has had links to being famous from a very young age.

Sabrina is, in fact, related to the popular TV sitcom The Simpsons, and fans can't get over it.
Sabrina's aunt is none other than voice artist Nancy Cartwright, who is best known for giving the iconic voices to some of the best known animated characters on TV.
Since the early 90s, Nancy has been the voice behind characters such as Bart Simpson, Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, Nelson Muntz and Maggie.
Not only that but she's also the voice behind lots of other animated characters you will know, including Chuckie Finster in the Nickelodeon series Rugrats and Rufus in Kim Possible.
As fans have made the connection between Sabrina and her famous aunt, they have taken to social media to see if others are just as surprised as they are.
Writing on Reddit, one person wrote: "I was today years old when I learned that Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson."
Another person responded: "Damn everyone in Hollywood really is related to someone."
"Since Sabrina has finally made it as a popstar and her aunt is literally Bart Simpson, how quick is she gonna get that unnecessary Simpsons Celebrity guest cameo?" asked a third.
And a fourth shared: "They say it's who U know for us regular folks so no surprise it's much worse for people Hollywood. Unless you've got the 'It' factor like Britney Spears, chances are you only make it somewhere cause you know someone."
This isn't the first time Sabrina has revealed her famous family connection, as she left Capital FM's Roman Kemp stunned when she confessed who her aunt was.
Roman started off as he admitted: "Now I am actually in love with one of your family members. Now correct me if I'm wrong, because when I first heard this, I couldn't believe it but your aunt is the voice of Bart Simpson?"
She told him: "Yes, a very niche fun fact. It's pretty wild isn't it?"
Roman also then revealed he wasn't just 'a little bit of a fan' but is in fact a HUGE fan of The Simpsons, as he proceeded to show Sabrina his Bart Simpson tattoo on his leg.
He explained: "Bart Simpson is what I grew up on, that's the legend. Your aunt is Nancy Cartwright, that is unreal."
