British Prime Minister, David Cameron recently made a surprising revelation saying that he was the 13th cousin of Kim Kardashian.

In an interview with Heat magazine, the prime minister was asked whether he was a fan of the show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' , to which he replied that he was related to them and a distant cousin of rapper Kanye West's wife, E! Online reported.

The link between Cameron, who's also related to the Queen of England, and Kardashian was through a mutual ancestor, Sir William Spencer, born in 1555, according to Geni.com, a genealogy website.

However, there is possibility that this was all just a joke as it is April fool's day.
