Xand van Tulleken, who I've chatted to for about 2 years on Twitter, we bonded over politics and squirrels, quote retweeted me this morning. I feel like I've arrived.

Sorry, I just had to share.

Nice. Greg Jenner replied to and liked something I tweeted him about. Felt some reflected glory.

I hope you’ve name changed to write that or are happy for people to be able to identify you.

It's so nice when slebs do that. Nigella Lawson and the author David Nicholls are both excellent at Twitter interaction.

Barack Obama follows me on Twitter. It is by far the coolest thing about me.

I tweeted about yet another disastrous culinary meal and Nigella commented and said I made her laugh x

BrownEyedGirl80 · 28/06/2021 22:42

I got a retweet from Micky Flanagan once.Epic.

Newchallenge · 28/06/2021 22:42

You totally have arrived OP! Blush swoon

Treacletoots · 28/06/2021 22:43

Red bull racing follow me on twitter but by far the best is that AlphaBeat once replied to one of my tweets randomly Grin

Mammyloveswine · 28/06/2021 22:46

I once had Alan carr reply to my tweet! I was buzzing!

Oh yeah, Tesco follows me 😌

But seriously I would make sure everyone knew about this if I were you 🤣 how did you manage that??

Kate Long (Volewriter!) chats to me in Twitter. I think I swooned the first time, she's so lovely.

MistySkiesAfterRain · 28/06/2021 22:53

David Nicholls donated a signed book and retweeted, he's a nice chap.

Yeah you win imho. This is so funny. I hardly follow any celebs but my swoons would be Kylie or Will Smith.
TeaandHobnobs · 28/06/2021 22:55

Chris Lintott, the Sky at Night dude, commented on my night sky photo - I was dead chuffed about that.
Also when I complimented Sheridan Smith on her singing on a TV show, and she liked my tweet.

ScribblyBaller · 28/06/2021 22:55

Barack follows half a million people so it's not the most select club although nice to be chosen I'm sure Grin

danni0509 · 28/06/2021 22:57

Eammon Holmes commented on my post one time 😂 he’s quite chatty with people who follow him.

ScribblyBaller · 28/06/2021 22:57

Gerald Stratford of giant veg fame once replied to me. Ha.

That less than 0.01% of the population so fairly exclusive!
cookingmygoose · 28/06/2021 23:00

I e had a little chat with Brendan from. Leach Trip on Twitter.....love that man!

Horehound · 28/06/2021 23:01

@CalamityGladys nigella is so lovely, isn't she? She's commented on a few of my things recently. I love her :)

SupermanInk · 28/06/2021 23:01

Very happy for you OP. Grin

This is definitely very cool. As a pp said I would tell everyone too. 😂

I’m followed by someone very cool on twitter. He doesn’t follow many people though even though he’s got lots of followers so I can’t tell many people as I don’t want people to know it’s my account.. 😭 Only 2 people know.....and they’re very impressed. 🤣

dubyalass · 28/06/2021 23:02

I too have been retweeted by Xand and it made me unreasonably happy as well, mostly because I fancy the pants off him.

ScribblyBaller · 28/06/2021 23:05

What percentage of twitter population? Wink

ScribblyBaller · 28/06/2021 23:06

@SupermanInk, has this celeb ever slid into your DMs?
