Did YOU sniff David Gray in a supermarket?

[itssquidstella]

I’ve just been listening to Jo Whiley on Radio 2 and a woman emailed in to say she'd done just that. It must be a mumsnetter. Is it you?

If not, what weird and slightly creepy things have you done in the vicinity of other celebrities?

I once touched the foot of a very famous (and now sadly dead) rock star. Then promptly fainted dead away
The gig was in a tiny leisure centre and was one of those last minute ticket only secret gigs. I’d only ever seen them before in stadiums and arenas.
My poor DH had to grapple with the security guards who wanted to lift me over the barrier to safety. Luckily he won and once I was lucid again, I went on to enjoy the closest to them gig I’d ever been to (at the time).

@Touchedhimonce did you touch Prince??
I once ambushed Danny Boyle in Selfridges Christmas card hall. I gushed about how much I loved his work and the Olympic opening ceremony. When he was leaving he caught me still staring at him from the murk and gave me a sheepish wee half wave. Bless him.

@Touchedhimonce oooh who was it?!

@Furrybootsyecomfy you're brave; I don't think I'd dare approach a sleb in the flesh!

I served Jim Davidson in a cafe once when I was 14; he was as leery as you would imagine.

@Butterer did he taste nice?

I've seen various famous people walking around London, but I've never got close enough to sniff any of them.

@Butterer I am so jealous. I once locked eyes with him when walking through a crowd at weekend. it has stayed stayed with me ever since!

I'm going to have to google this band! I used to be partial to Eau de Fags et Whisky myself.

I hate the way people pester celebrities so was very torn last year to be on a tiny plane flying out of Stornoway with Billy Connolly and his crew. The poor man looked exhausted and frail ( he isnt well at all) so I just lurked nearby until he looked up ( only a handful of us in departures) and apologised for intruding but said I wanted to thank him for all the laughter over the years. He took my hand and said "Och, that's awfully kind of you. How lovely."
I had a little cry

I followed Harrison Ford and his wife around an art gallery. I actually feel very bad about it now. But it was a long time ago and I was a teenager at the time.

That's a pretty cool claim to (almost) fame, @Butterer. I'll check them out!

@dementedma what a lovely story! I'm glad he's a nice man; he's always seemed like he would be.

@EscapeTheCastle did they notice you following?

He was an insanely sexy but (as it turns out) immensely pervy antipodean with the most beautiful hair

Sadly I think they did. I did it for about 5 mins at least. Not cool.

Michael hutchence!!! OMG loved him

Unless you referred to Steve Irwin?

I jiggled Roy Chubby Brown’s moobs.

I jiggled Roy Chubby Brown’s moobs.

In an ironic way or as part of a medical procedure ?

@amatsip I was obsessively in love with him and was devastated when he died

I got Maxi Jazz to sign my cleavage (very 90s) which I'm embarrassed about now.
