Did YOU sniff David Gray in a supermarket?

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?

@frumpety

I jiggled Roy Chubby Brown’s moobs.

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

As part of a self choreographed dance Blush alcohol was involved.

@Touchedhimonce I could not be more jealous. Simply the most beautiful man who ever lived.

My favourite footballer once spat, and it landed on the railing right in front of me. My hand was edging towards it, with a probably not very realistic scientific plan of cloning him, but my husband saw, and brushed it away with my scarf. He said ‘Even you aren’t going to stoop that low’. Which isn’t very nice.

DH was in a play at the Edinburgh Fringe when he was a teenager. He and his mate were in a supermarket and saw Alan Rickman.

DH's friend walked over & pretended to get something off a shelf next to Alan. Friend stuttered 'Scuse me.' & stroked Alan's sleeve before completely losing his nerve and running away leaving behind a slightly baffled Rickman.

I would have at least had a good sniff of him. Bet he smelt divine.
(Possibly the most tenuous famous person story I have Grin)

@theluckiest oh I loved Alan Rickman, I would definitely have stroked him too.

Mentioned this on another thread, but I lightly stroked David Bowie's coat (he was in it) at the Hayward Gallery.

David Bowie bought my mom a drink once Grin

showmethegin · 24/09/2020 10:23

And Jack White bought me one once too! Grin

Why did she sniff David Gray? How did he smell?

ABCDay · 24/09/2020 10:29

Don't say with his nose Grin

I ate Robert Plant's cherry tomatoes. Waiting outside round the back of a venue, absurdly early for a gig, my friend leaned on a door and it opened into a corridor that led to the band's dressing room. Sadly there was nobody in there but there was a buffet all laid out and I ate three cherry tomatoes before we beat a hasty retreat before anyone caught us.

I walked past Frankie Boyle in Glasgow on my way to the post office. He's much taller than I expected.

I sat behind Alfie Enoch on a flight down to London. My interest was piqued when I heard him unabashedly chatting up the woman next to him and he mentioned that he'd been in the Harry Potter movies as a kid, so I was craning to get a glimpse of who had said that Grin during that trip I also happened upon Jason Isaacs coming out of the BBC studios after being on The One Show and I got a selfie with him. All in all, a good trip for this Potter superfan! Grin

I once served White Dee a foot long meatball sub...she was quite funny.

Have also knelt down in front of the big haired kid from Diversity.

I touched Dave Grohl and his blue Gibson at a Foos concert once...screamed so much didnt get enough oxygen and nearly fainted.

As well as my shameful Harrison Ford stalking I have also stroked Derren Browns beard. He told me to, so I had to!
