Used to see most of the professional snooker players around town during my lunch hour when I worked in Sheffield. It used to take John Virgo ages to get served in shops as he was so nice and everyone wanted to chat to him.

@desperate4spring

Oh and Katie Price
I saw her in the toy department at Harrods, years ago. Incredibly slender narrow little body, almost boyish, apart from the very obvious enhancements.

His hair was huge Grin

@Judashascomeintosomemoney

Yes. One of my heroes, Paul Whitehouse at Liverpool Street Station. Shorter than I’d have thought. Couldn’t muster up any words, went on my way as ‘unimpressed commuter’ 😂
I would have been the same.

Although I may have started singing 'All around my ARSE!!!' as I approached him though (probably would have been grateful it wasn't 'suits you sir').

Finzi · 07/04/2021 21:34

Kenneth Branagh in Stratford, many years ago.

Blondiney · 07/04/2021 21:34

Nadia Sawalha about 20 years on Deansgate. She gave me one of filthiest looks you can imagine.

Gary Rhodes outside the Trocadero in Piccadilly

Paula Yates and Micheal Hutchens with their baby in Our Price on the Kings Road. To be fair they looked stoned out of their trees but he just oozed sex appeal.
