From actors to singers to sports stars, there’s certainly no shortage of talent right here in Lancashire.

There was a little bit of a mix up at first - I had to tell ChatGPT that I did not want stars from the Greater Manchester and Merseyside towns that have not been Lancashire since 1972- but we got there in the end!
So, here are the most well-known faces from across Lancashire, according to AI and why ChatGPT thinks they’re so influential.
