Frankie Dettori "stole" my pen. I was only 10 and I loved my Micky mouse pen. And then he shouted at me when I asked for it back as he was busy scribbling in everyone else's autograph books. Never got my pen back.

My sister met Kate Winslet in a petrol station last year! Apparently she was a gem, she noticed my sisters NHS outfit (children's nurse) and offered to pay for her petrol! My sister politely declined but she said Kate was really lovely

My sister took my mum and dad to somewhere posh, Bovey Castle i think, for mum's 70th. My sister is quite bossy and kept annoying mum who decided to get pissed on sambuca in the bar, without my sister, bil or dad.

As she was fairly pissed she shouted across to two men to join her. So they did and started drinking with her. Dad popped his head in the bar and she turned to the men and said "look at him (dad) fucking creeping Jesus". It was Ade Edmonson and Sanjeev Bakshir.

I was waiting for Anthony Stewart Head to crop up Grin

On the Buffy theme, I met Amber Benson (Tara) when she did a signing to promote series 5 coming out on VHS. She was lovely. I was a gawky 13 year old and tongue tied.

Served and had a nice chat with Pete Doherty when I worked in an East London pub. He was very nice, the drug dealer

thighofrelief · 27/10/2018 00:37

Mum also had a mutual scrap with Jon Pertwee over their dogs.

BeetlebumShesAGun · 27/10/2018 00:39

Ahhh posted too soon!! Meant to say the drug dealer friend he had with him was less nice. Wasn’t implying Pete Doherty tried to sell me drugs Blush

I walked into Jeremy Irons, literally. Wasn’t looking as I stepped off the escalator in the Tate Modern. All I could say was “You’re Jeremy Irons” he was not impressed.

I saw Daniel radcliff at gatwick airport on the way back from our honeymoon about this time last year. He looked exhausted and just trying to get on with his day! So I did not approach him. Same holiday actually we had a short stop in Atlanta and I saw an actress that was in a lot of popular sitcoms when i was a teenager. Think Damon wayon type programs. Still can not remember her name! But she was everywhere at one point. She too looked very tired out. I can imagine it must be tiresome just trying to go about your daily business without being bombarded by people who recognise you.

Beckham at the Trafford Centre.
Derek Acora eating a twirl at Westmorland services (true story)

Yes loads of Hollywood stars and musicians because of the industry I work in and where I live. I have also hung out with an A lister who is part of my family through marriage but I doubt any of those I have met would ever remember me if they saw me again.

maddjess · 27/10/2018 02:55

@bigbluebus why post? 🙄

frogface69 · 27/10/2018 03:10

I have met lots of authors through my previous job. But I've said before.
Les Dawson was lovely,as was his wife but they weren't married when I used to see them.
Whatisname, Delboy has a house near me. Their Christmas trees are spectacular.
William Simons from Heartbeat lived next door to my friend. She used to play with Matthew Corbett as a child.
Another friend, female had a long live in affair with a famous comedienne who went on to marry and have children.

Chickenwings85 · 27/10/2018 03:11

Got very personal with GoT star.

Met Rob Beckett- he was in a rush but he still made time to chat and have a picture.

Met Tina from Eastenders - she was really lovely!

Back in my younger days, I had Lee Ryan from Blue and was Woody in Eastenders ask me to be his girlfriend - I politely declined.

I'm friends with quite a few celebs but can't really mention them all by name as it's very outting.

When I was 17 I worked in a shopping centre that has an events arena attatched. Was putting the rubbish out and had a sneaky cig. This woman appears and asks for a light, hand it over and realise it's Debbie Harry. My jaw hit the floor, she was one of my idols. She stood and chatted a bit then went on her way, she was lovely.

Also worked as a receptionist for a premier league football team so met loads of famous players. Maradona was probably the biggest, but I had no clue who he was (was too young to know about "the hand of god" goal and didn't really like football).

My gran used to live down the street from Paulo Nuttini. He liked to throw stones at us when we played in the garden. He was an arse, and by all accounts still is.
