Worst celebrity you have the pleasure of meeting😬part 3

I think OP's story must be about David's brother , Richard.

Absolutely REPULSIVE. Never has anyone had such a fitting surname. The stuff of nightmares this one.

Why was his surname fitting?

With all the DH I was assuming the poster had mixed up David Attenborough and David Hockney which would make sense as he's known to be very grumpy. And would be more likely to be at the Royal Academy - also David Attenborough hasn't had a 'partner' since his wife died in 1997 whereas David Hockney is gay and has a long-time partner.

@Kidsx6 shocked about Martin Shaw as he’s the parent of one of my friends and always lovely. I’ve got a few thespie friends who have enjoyed working with him and usually the behind scenes staff seem to like him too.

Jimmy Savile - I had to look after him when I was a young researcher and he grabbed my hand and licked my arm from wrist to elbow. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it. He also nicked everything that wasn't nailed down in his dressing room.

Absolutely REPULSIVE. Never has anyone had such a fitting surname. The stuff of nightmares this one.

Heather Small - Arrogant, stroppy and downright rude. Refused to meet fans with backstage passes, including kids because something happened to her mic during the concert. The rest of the band were lovely and furious with her.

Paul Gascoigne - Groped the mother of a disabled fan who was so happy to meet him.

Martin Shaw - Filming on location where I worked. So condescending and degrading to staff that the estate manager refused to let them come back

I came across John McCrirrick once. His behaviour - even for him - was shockingly awful. A thoroughly unpleasant man, and holds top place in my 'worst celebrities I've met' list.

I have worked with so many celebrities. There are only three who were horrendous beyond belief...

1. John McCrirrick basically assaulted me in the back of a cab on the way to a shoot. I complained to my then boss who refused to have him on the show again.
2. Marti Pellow - no idea why he was so vile to me. He was actually aggressive as if he was a pissed up bloke in a pub spoiling for a fight. I was just briefing him for an appearance too!
3. Jimmy Savile - I had to look after him when I was a young researcher and he grabbed my hand and licked my arm from wrist to elbow. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it. He also nicked everything that wasn't nailed down in his dressing room.

Most celebs are lovely. Some are dull and uninterested/uninteresting but I can forgive that in a way. Rather have boring than vile. My favourites: Olly Murs remembers everyone and gives big hugs, Joss Stone is one of the friendliest, most fun people I have every worked with, Ben Shepherd is the nicest man on telly, every single TV chef I've worked with has been adorable, especially Dean Edwards who does not have a bad bone in his body. Tony Curtis was possibly my favourite of all time as he was such a Hollywood legend and he drew a Christmas card for my Grandparents! Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Samuel L Jackson, Daniel Craig...all fab. The nasty ones are in the minority really.

I have met lots of famous people through my career. Often the celebs themselves were nice but their publicists/agents were vile. I was assaulted by the publicist of a famous author who literally stabbed me in the back with her pen to try to get me to stop an interview

Anne Robinson is her authentic self - utter cow on and off duty.
Tony Robinson (no relation) was horrid to my DS who had queued for ages to get his autograph at a book signing - really horrid. Came across as a grubby, crabby old man who hates children.
The Jeremys Vine and Paxman both lovely, both tall.

Kate Moss lovely. Dom Joly horrid.

Utterly pointless thread. Try Reddit for stuff like this.

"Well, someone I once knew said someone they knew said that someone was..."

Too many years ago, in the 1970s I worked in Sainsburys in Golders Green. We used to close at 4.00pm every Saturday. Virtually every week. TBs FIL (may have been future FIL back then) actor Tony Booth used to turn up after we had closed, having had a few drinks, and bang on the door demanding we let him in to buy some fags. We had a fiery Northern Irish checkout supervisor, who would never let him in, and a slagging match between the 2 ensued. He was obnoxious.

Mr Tumble was a bellend at CBeebies Live, we’d queued with the DC for over an hour to meet him and he just got up and walked away when there were only the last ten people left in the queue. He could have just nipped down to see us and explain/greet the kids. Tit.

Oh that’s a shame, I met Nick Knowles once and he was so lovely. It was when I was at college doing a tour of the BBC studios and we bumped into him and he spoke to our group for ages and was so nice and polite.

Met Tim Westwood when he was djing at a local club. He was really rude and inappropriate towards women and demanded me and my friend fetch him a beer! We laughed and walked off!

Elton John was incredibly rude. We had tickets to a show and was asked to move so him and his entourage could sit in our seats as they were private ones out the way. We said yes and were excited to see it was for Elton but he didn’t acknowledge us, say thank you or anything, he just gave us dirty looks and sat down. His husband however couldn’t say thank you enough and was so nice.

Very rude encounter with David Jason - shattered all my thoughts about him.
Rowan Atkinson was a fellow school parent and always happy to be approached, although I agree seemingly shy.
I always have to highlight Nicky Chapman (hardly A list), who was extremely unpleasant in Bicester Village and Nick Knowles similarly arrogant in Cirencester.
My major surprise was Jonathan Ross. I thought he might be a bit brash but, at hotel with him, his wife and his three offspring, they were charm personified.

Someone I work with met Kate Winslet once and said she was horribly rude.

I think the reference to Kate Middleton is to balance out the one about Meghan, for what it’s worth. Same turn of phrase.

My worst is Gloria Hunniford. I was in a bookshop with an author for work (he was signing books) and they asked us to hide because they’d been warned she was coming in. She was not impressed they didn’t have her book in stock and complained to her husband about it as they left - the staff were very apologetic to us but couldn’t risk her encountering another author. Intense diva vibes. They said she was a nightmare, always.

Take me out

I use to see the late Wendy Richards around Marylebone. The first time I saw her, she was walking towards me, she knew I recognised her from the look on my face. She had a 'don't you dare talk to me' look, I just walked by - would not have dreamt of approaching her at all!!

My cousin saw Timothy Spall's son, Rafe. He had a chat with him about his dad who was best friends with him and my brother in primary school, he was polite.

Don't know what he's like but he and his massive team have been on many, many private jets....

J is her friend who she is referring too

DH is a mistake of one letter as she meant DA David Attenborough

i thought we’d established DH is David Hattenborough

sorry l don't understand your post. Who's J and who's DH?
