When I lived in London I kept seeing Louis Thereux so much I thought he was stalking me.(Think he just lived near me)

Husband saw Tom Hardy at a service station. I was in a different part of the service station (Leicester Forest). I was gutted and have never forgiven DH...

PolarnOPirate · 08/04/2021 22:54

Oh that reminds me, we used to live on the Outnumbered street, so all of those folks. Gavin and Stacey street definitely trumps that though!!!!! So jel.

Also once saw Nick Cave in John Lewis in Cardiff! My hubby had no idea who I was on about. Cue me trying to hum the song he did with Kylie!

Also
Jimmy Saville loads unfortunately as I lived in Leeds and he used to pop in to my Nan’s cafe and make comments about my hair 🙄.

Chris Eubank in a street in Brighton. When he clocked I’d recognised him he asked me if I wanted a selfie with him?! But he was lovely.

Kirsty Young and Nick Jones stayed at our hotel on our honeymoon.

I got propositioned by Jon Leslie once but then so hasn’t everyone?

My fave ever celeb spot was Patrick Duffy (akaBobby Ewing), walking up Regents st. He was v tall and broad shouldered, and iirc was wearing a bright coloured Hawaiian shirt with an off white linen suit. On a really cold grey London day.
