I feel like some of the Iron Age Germanic is soaking up some of the Celtic since both groups have similar proportions of Steppe/ANF/WHG. I've done models with Iron Age Gauls and it pukes when Iron Age Germanics are added. To me, that tells me that qpAdm sees the similar proportions of Steppe Pastoralist, Anatolian Farmer, and West European hunter-Gatherer and can't make up it's mind where its coming from: Celtic or Germanic.
This one isn't too bad:

standard errors are higher than I'd like which feeds into my thoughts about Celtic and Germanic groups having similar admixtures.
Or I am wrong and I am more Germanic than Celtic. I wouldn't think so considering my known ancestry. On the whole average English are roughly 60/40 Celtic/Germanic. French are still mostly IA Gaulish and Scottish and Irish have picked up some Germanic but not as much as the English.

you need a continental celtic pop for gallic ancestry (i used R2055.SG + NOR2B6.SG ). also I'd use Scotland_IA for insular celtic. definitely an overestimate
These were the right pops i used for a personal iron age model on myself:
Mbuti.DG, Czechia_IA_LaTene.AG, France_MN.AG, Germany_Tollense_BA.SG, Switzerland_EBA_1.AG, England_EIA.AG, France_Alsace_Lingolsheim_EBA.AG, France_N.AG, France_Occitanie_IA2.SG, Germany_BellBeaker.AG, Germany_Saxony_LBK_N.SG, Hungary_IA_LaTene.AG, Latvia_BA.AG, Sweden_IA.SG, England_IA.AG, England_MIA.AG, Sweden_IA_2.SG, Sweden_Viking.SG, Switzerland_LN.AG, Sweden_Mesolithic.SG, Norway_North_Pre_Viking.SG
It took quite a few attempts and basically, I had to use Scotland LIA instead of Scotland IA. This is my result with your references:

Yeah, that makes sense. Celtic and Germanic both draw from very similar Steppe/ANF/WHG proportions, so it's likely that qpAdm might be struggling to cleanly separate them, unless you've got a really well chosen ref list. I would agree that broadly, the English average is probably somewhere around 30–50% Germanic, maybe slightly higher depending on region, so considering you have quite a sizable amount of English it’s possible for you to come out a bit more Germanic-shifted
I'm still experimenting with your references. Using Scotland EIA bumps up the Insular.

My grandmother's result. Her Slavic admixture is much higher than mine (around 30% higher), even though we're both from the same region.

if i remember correctly he has a german grandfather, regardless the model inflates germanic by about 3%. I made a model that gave me 48.3% with lower standard-errors but I forgot to save the right pops for it

the newer model he posted that i made gives me 51.4% which is probably too high

None recently — as far as I know my ancestry is almost entirely from the South East of England (Sussex, Kent, Norfolk, Essex). I do have a small amount German, but it’s all the way back in the 1600s. Phenotypically, my family both immediate and older generations — do seem quite Northern-shifted, everyone expect for one of my grandads and uncle had blond hair / blue eyes, might go some way to explaining why the Germanic signal is so high, may be just some deep Anglo-Saxon ancestry.
