Have you ever seen a celebrity in the street?

[BeckyRac]

I saw George Sampson once.

Yes, it would have been a story had I bumped into the queen in the street. I suppose her being in a car is pushing this a bit.

Ross Kemp walked past me with his dog once when I was picking sloes with my sister. I said ‘he looks just like Ross Kemp’ and she said that was probably because it was him, and he lived somewhere nearby

Mary Portas in Marylebone
Michelle Collins in Portabello Market
Don Jolly at the American Embassy
Stephen Hendry outside Jumeriah Beach Club
Steve Owen (Rickyyyyyy!) shopping on New Street, Birmingham

Damian Lewis.
Chatted to Antony Stewart Head on a flight to Belfast once. Nice bloke.

Anthony

I saw Michael Palin standing outside the Cameo in Edinburgh as I sailed past on the bus.

I also bumped into the Brazilian death metal group, Sepultura, in the London Dungeons a week after I'd seen them in concert in Glasgow. That was a highlight of my misspent youth.

Oh, and the Queen came to my school for its centenary. Forgot that one.

Turned up to a funeral, everyone was congregating outside the church & Nick knowles was there, it wasn't long after he'd done I'm a celebrity, he sat next to my other half once inside.

Yes lots I live in north London so I often see people.

Jonathan Ross
John Torode and Lisa at the cinema but also every week in the supermarket
Hugo Spear
The guy from horrible histories all the time!
Kat from Eastenders
Suranne Jones
The amazing sister In black panther
Leslie Garrett

Hmmm can't think who else right now...

Fat boy slim and Zoe ball nearly ran me over in their car.

Walking down George Street in Dublin I saw a wrinkly skinny guy and a tubby chap, deep in conversation. I recognised Cliff Richard straight away but it took a couple of minutes to clock Van Morrison.

Marcus Brigstock
Jenny Eclair
Zoe Ball

I saw Darren O'Briain in the street at the Edinburgh Festival. For an instant I didn't recognise him - well, I knew I knew him but kind of thought it was just someone I knew rather than a famous person. Without thinking I just said "oh hi!" as if he was some guy from work. He gave me a withering look like I was some sort of deluded fan... oh, the horror!

Oh I was at the same club as Amy Winehouse when I was at uni and had a smoke next to her. And the front man from the libertines who used to date Kate Moss, think I bumped into him and he told me to fuck off 🤣

Walked by Gok Wan on a random street in London about 11 or 12 years ago. Also spotted Helen Worth rushing for her train at Euston Station probably just months apart from the Gok sighting.

Sally from Corrie and her actress daughter live round here. Usually spot the paps before them.

Jenny Powell walks around the village wishing they'd photograph her.

Oh, and many years ago I was cross because my bus was stuck in traffic in south London. Crawling past Brixton police station I realise it was because Prince Charles and Diana were standing outside (presumably on official business, they hadn't been nicked!). She was a lot taller than him...

Russell Howard twice in Leamington
Quentin Wilson in Stratford
Colin Montgomery in Covent Garden
Lots of footballers

I stopped at a zebra crossing in Richmond to let an old man with a walking stick cross the road. Then I realised it was Mark Shaw from Then Jerico, and was shocked and appalled at what a state he was in, as I was a huge fan back in the day. I know he had various addiction issues, so I guess that’s what had wrecked him.

I've stood beside Kevin Bridges in a pub in Glasgow and was once nearly run over by Prince Charles in the country when out for a walk. A little further along the road we said hello to two women also walking, one was Camilla, this was a good bit before they were "officially" together.

I also worked at the Open one year and met a lot of golfers. I didn't recognise Seve Ballesteros as he walked past, although I did notice that he was very tanned and was wearing really nice shades.

Saw Johnny Vegas in a Spar in my home town, passed him and said hi quite casually as thought he was someone I went to school with. He just said hi back in the same manner, he either thought the same or just gets that a lot

Chris ewbanks
A guy who was in londons burning went to the same playgroup as me.
Saw adam chance from crossroads in asda.
Oh and captain sensible drank in my local.

Ian Puleston-Davies in the Arndale Centre, Lorna Laidlaw at Birmingham New Street station, we got on the same train. Walked past Tony Robinson in a motorway services and Jason Gardiner in London. I love Lorna Laidlaw but I was too nervous to approach her!!

Yes I did. Hugh Grant. And I was staring at him, thinking "where do we know each other from...? Why isn't he smiling at me in recognition? Why does he look slightly terrified...?"

10 minutes later I realise "FFS, I know HIM from the screen, he's no bloody idea who I am!"

Peter Capaldi on Sauchiehall Street.
