i have met a few through work but Dev Griffiths (if he counts as a celeb) was self-absorbed, dull, and uninterested in anyone ‘below’ him.

Kanye West is an arrogant bully who thinks he is far more important than he actually is. Shocking, I know!

I had the displeasure of serving him in a restaurant. Before he arrived, his PA sent an email for the kitchen with a list of bullet points about things Kanye likes and dislikes. One of them was 'Kanye enjoys food with a lot of flavour because that's how he was raised' 🤔🤣 Sorry mate, we only sell bland, tasteless slop at this Michelin star restaurant. We had great fun ripping the piss out of that list in the kitchen.

So the "have a go at Meghan M" brigade take over the thread. Just a matter of time, I guess.

Eamonn holmes - so rude he actually clicked his fingers to get my attention

Met Jean Boht in the 80s, the actress who starred in the TV series Bread, after a live screening of Jim’ll fix it 😬- at the BBC. I mentioned I was from her neck of the woods. She looked at me like she had dirt on her shoe!
Also, a few years ago, I went to see K D Lang in a UK concert, I’ve always loved her voice/music. Before the show we were sitting outside a restaurant, near the theatre, when all of a sudden she walked across the road on her own. A few people approached to say hello, hardly anyone was there but she looked so pissed off to be approached and would not engage or smile. I was so disappointed.

Megan Markle, and I have met quite a few AAA listers through work. The majority are polite or say very little.

What was bad about her? Please do elaborate.

Peter Kay -one of the rudest and most arrogant men I’ve had the misfortune to deal with.

Sean Paul. He asked me if I knew who he was. I didn’t. He then told me how lucky I am to be near him. Okay.

I'd have had to counter with, " But do you know who I am? Because actually, you're even luckier to be near me"

I knew someone who worked at the Royal Academy, so not my story...
He told me that David Attenborough was absolutely vile.
( I know I couldn't believe it either)
Apparently the Academy does out of hours openings for their special members. On this occasion J had to open up, was thrilled to do so as he was a huge fan of DH.
Whilst unlocking the areas he turned to David H and mentioned he thought the last episode of xxx was the best TV he had ever seen. DH stood there and stared at him before saying coldly.. " I don't think someone like you should be talking to someone like me"
J was mortified.
On another occasion DH threw his coat at J and told him to take care of it.
He didn't left the coat on the floor and walked away.
Has never watched anything he's made since. Apparently his partner looked embarrassed both times.

A couple of years ago my DH worked with Sir David, and spent most of the day with him. He was nothing but polite. Seemed to be a bit shy, but it was a cold and not pleasant day weather wise. Sir D had a daughter with him who was in charge of transport, etc., so there were a few times when arrangements and discussions had to take precedence, but certainly no arrogance or rudeness.

PA on film set said they girls from pitch perfect (Anna Kendrick and rebel Wilson) where horrible and just really rude. On the flip side they said that Eddie redmayne was one of the nicest people they have ever met.

It was obvious what you meant and easy enough to work out that it was a type o! Don't worry about it.

Paddy McGuinness. Utter slimeball. Tried desperately to convince my friend to shag him and when she told him to leave her alone he called her an ugly cunt. This is years ago I will add.

thats gross. I wonder he must have slept with most of those beautiful ladies on popular show he did . I dont know the name of the show but where they select their match and someone come down from the lift

Jeremy Kyle - Absolutely horrible person. Was annoyed that my 15 year old daughter looked at him, came over with his chest puffed up and was about to open his mouth in a rant until he spotted me. complete nelson complex. WHo'd have thought, heah...

I don't think she deserves to be on a list of unpleasant celebrities because she has the audacity to wear make up and speak. She's also had a horrific year or so with a chronic health condition and anxiety and probably could do without this kind of negativity.

Oh yes, my friend also has doubts about that and seems to think that it is all greatly exaggerated for media attention, as she says so much of it is inconsistent with what she's seen (She lives a few roads away from her). But you are right: People can look and speak however they want to.

I was actually going to say something similar (I have absolutely no idea who she is mind you) but wearing make up to the gym (I mean, I wouldn't but her choice) and having a "face on" (which is totally subjective anyway) doesn't seem like that big a crime?

Sorry about the 😘, not sure where that came from!

David Attenborough is LOVELY really lovely. My Daughter wrote to him a one-way letter about his programme. She got a handwritten beautiful personalised letter back to her and her brother within 4 days................totally unexpected and delightful.
My friend did a cartoon of him in the NH museum and sent it to him and likewise.
Have also met DH in person and he was lovely and gave his water to someone else. His WIFE not his partner died a long time ago -25/30 years.

My son received a hand written letter back from him too! It was so lovely, it's framed on his bedroom wall now. He even wrote the envelope himself and I don't know why but that really impressed me 😘

Toseland · 23/10/2022 11:29

I've met Richard Attenborough, he was rather pink-cheeked and jolly and very polite. He seemed a decent person - he'd come to find me to thank me personally for my work even though I was not in a high position and he had no need to do that.

A friend of my goes to the same gym in Chelsea as Louise Thompson (a reality TV Z lister from years ago; Made in Chelsea) and is always going on about how she turns up absolutely plastered in make-up to work out and is always looking around to see if anyone is looking at her. She's really tiny in real life.

It seems odd to go to the gym where one sweats wearing a full face of make-up. She also says that she always has a 'Don't you know who I am?' look on her face and seems rather ridiculous. She said that she speaks in 'very posh comedy accent that sounds like something from a Harry Enfield sketch' so it's impossible to ignore her.

Tony Robinson was filming with the timewatch team on our street and he was really lovely.

Bill Oddie has a reputation for being "Mardy" but he was fantastic company at a Wildlife Trust event I attended, a thoughtful and observant man.

So glad to hear this about Tony Robinson. I always thought he was lovely. I remember watching a documentary and it showed him visiting his mother in a retirement home and how he went every week, no matter his schedule.

@LaGioconda he probably had another partner, don't have to disclose everything to the press

Derek Acorah.

Came in for lunch when he was touring. Seemed pissed off that nobody cared who he was. He treated the staff appallingly.
