Yesterday i saw Michelle Collins struggling to walk in ridiculously high heeled boots through Bolton town centre.

I just walked past Beth Goddard (Philip Glenister's wife also an actress). A regular occurrence as they live just around the corner.

I also stared at Richard E Grant in Waitrose. I'm not normally a starer but he has mesmerising eyes and is very tall.

I sometimes see Pat from EE in M&S and I saw one of JLS the other week but have no idea which one.

I was in Weybridge town centre last Wednesday and I noticed this really slim woman holding a really young baby .I started chatting to her (Im that type of person ) and I thought her accent and face were familer . It was Abbey Clancy . Peter Crouch was stading a few feet away so i didnt see him at first .

I saw Cat Deeley outside Buckingham Palace on Monday afternoon. She was doing a piece to camera. TBH as I walked closer to her I though she was a drag queen for a moment as her hair looked fake and she had so much make up on Blush. After a minute I realised it was her and all made up for TV, she was actually very pretty.

Brian O'Driscoll (rugby player in case your wondering) is as about as exciting as my celeb spotting has been recently!

I have the habit of the whole 'do I know them? Should I remember their name? Oh god I hope I'm not suppoed to know them' and then five mins later realising they are actually famous and not someone I was introduced to a while back

ADam rickett lives near me and we run down the same lanes, he's looking skinny!

Fabio Capello, sat next to DD3 on flight home
Most of the TOWIE mob in Marbs
Ask again in about 8 weeks and my post will read like an issue of Heat Mag (not that I'm a sleb stalker, but we live in Marbella and they're all over the place like unwanted flies Grin

PureBloodMuggle · 06/05/2011 20:33

I live in Dublin AnonymousBird and a lot of the Irish 'celebs' live near me (though I'm sorry to say that i don't live in the same area just my estate ends where it starts.

I am living the dream (just slightly to the side)

My DS just ran his scooter into the feet of Tiff Needell from Fifth Gear whilst we were in Canterbury. But that's the only sleb sighting of late - moving out of London has been detrimental to my spotting of them.

Collision · 07/05/2011 15:36

I met Steve Backshall at his wild show last week.

We won tickets to have autographs and photo taken with him.

I met Dhruv Baker (last year's Masterchef winner) and Jay Rayner at the Real Food Festival in London. Oh the chap that runs Shine TV the production company for Masterchef.

They were all very un-starry and lovely.

cookielove · 07/05/2011 18:10

Hifi -billy off eastenders is my work colleagues cousin

I saw Jimmy Carr in st.albans uh hem i had tickets to his tour, doubt that counts

I've seen lacey turner (stacey off eastenders) in borehamwood shopping centre

went to thorpe park a few weeks ago and saw Alison from big brother (larger black lady who went on to do some morning tv after appearing on bb)

nannyj · 08/05/2011 16:01

Melanie Sykes and Denise Van Outen having a lovey hug in the street. Melanie Sykes is beyond gorgeous in real life! Then on my way home saw Ricky Gervais walking down the street. Think he lives round the corner from me and he's really skinny! Wanted to ask him for weight loss tips Grin

IslaValargeone · 08/05/2011 19:53

I hate living in shitesville, I would love to see Robert Hardy and would be hysterical at the prospect of bumping into Richard E Grant.

lucykate · 09/05/2011 10:47

AB - they were all at an exhibition private view in london. i didn't recognise donald sinden at first, he was very sweet and took a real shine to the dc's. all i could think when i saw robert hardy was cornelious fudge saying 'he's back...'!

migola · 12/05/2011 18:36

I never see celebs anymore since moving out of London Sad. Used to work in Soho and live near Hampstead Heath and they were rife. Sigh

Chris and Poi (Show Me, Show Me) - took dd to their stage show last week, and met them afterwards for autographs/photos. They were really lovely, very friendly and good with all the dcs.

dd now very confused as Poi was heavily pregnant at the show, but on TV two days later she wasn't Grin
