NICOLA Sturgeon’s sister has revealed what it’s really like being related to Scotland’s First Minister.
Gill, 47, is used to being asked lots of questions about her famous older sibling.
Their lives couldn’t be more different as instead of entering politics, she’s worked as a phlebotomist as well as running make-up and children's party businesses alongside her tarot readings venture.
Taking to TikTok, Gill opened up on her relationship with her big sister, 52, and admitted it’s a strange situation.
She wrote: “What’s it like having the First Minister as your sister?
Answering her most requested question, Gill said: “It’s good. It’s really good.
“I don’t look upon her as that really, she is my sister, she is my closest friend probably.
“And even though we don’t get much time together, we are in contact a lot and she’s my rock, she definitely is.
“It was weird at first, it definitely was really strange because we’re just a normal working class family.
“Especially if you’re out and about with her, it’s manic.

“But I couldn’t be prouder. I’m honoured to have such a wonderful sister.”
Gill previously told how she survived two abusive relationships with the love and support from her sibling.
She said family members including the First Minister helped her recover from the “manipulation and psychological abuse” allegedly dished out by two men.
And the mum — who quit as a medium after being trolled online — also claimed her late grandmothers’ spirits guided her through the pain.
Speaking at a Laughterlife gig in Hillhead, Glasgow, in aid of men’s mental health charity Brothers In Arms, she said of one ex: “I fell into the arms of a true gentleman.
“But that turned from good to very bad with lies, deception, manipulation and psychological abuse. It was horrendous.
“But all through this I believe I had my gran by my side. Had I not, I might not have got through it.
“It’s all because I hold such a strong spiritual belief. I was fortunate to have lovely family and lovely friends who were very supportive.
“I wouldn’t be standing here tonight without the love of my family.”
Gill, of Irvine, Ayrshire, who started a support group for abused women, was arrested for spitting in one ex’s face but charges were dropped.
