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.

@CalamityGladys

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

Lee Mack knows me in real life and I made him laugh a few times! he even said I should do comedy but I think he was just being nice.☺

(It's not like we are besties or anything though, I've talked with his wife more than him. they are both such lovely people)

has this celeb ever slid into your DMs?

Ha ha, no. He’s a nice family man. Wink

@ScribblyBaller

That less than 0.01% of the population so fairly exclusive!

What percentage of twitter population? Wink

0.27%

Chad Michael Murray
Ben bass (sam Swarek from rookie blue)
Eric mabius ( Daniel Meade from ugly Betty)
Antwon Tanner
Ennis Esmer ( rich dot com from blindspot)
Had an instagram repost from
Travis van winkle ( Danny from the last ship)
Scott maslen followed me randomly 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’ve just checked my followers and apparently Aaron Carter follows me....never saw that before

I had matt lucas like my tweet once and when I tweeted that my husband didn't believe it was really him he replied.
That was great!

Definitely not. 🤢 🤣

petridishmystery · 28/06/2021 23:17

Danny Strong (Buffy) liked one of my tweets. It was a tweet praising him and he’s not super famous so it’s not exactly surprising that he saw it and liked it but still made my day!

This is what I love about social media. I’ve chatted with Jenny Colgan over Twitter. Comedians Aatif Nawaz and Eshaan Akbar chat to me on insta - they’ve been on the telly! People who have been on the telly know who I am. It amazes me, especially as I’ve never met a celeb in real life.

I got a reply back from Nigella once celebrating the arrival of my new oven three days before Christmas once ..

And when I tweeted Jamie Oliver a picture of my burns treated bandaged hand ( I was making his tarte tatin , when I had a brain fart and took the metal handelled pan out of the oven and forgot to use a mitt. Burned across the middle of all 4 fingers , the inside of my thumb and lost the skin off my palm - FUCK ME that hurt )

He sent me back a signed book and a pair of oven gloves 😀

Cillian murphy tweeted me & I nearly died with joy!

SkiingIsHeaven · 28/06/2021 23:19

Lorraine Kelly sent my daughter a lovely message.

Love this. Grin

I’d be happy with that !

Aaron Carter follows me too! I dunno if it’s some sort of randomly generated thing. Britney Spears followed me for a bit years ago but I always assumed it was just some random thing, rather than Britney actively thinking “yeah this random girl with 152 followers and 10 tweets seems fun”.

I don’t know if they’re still doing it but for a while Jedward were randomly DMing followers and it was not just random stuff, they’d actually look at your profile and personalise it. They DM’d me “night night to you and your cat” but like I say I don’t tweet much so she was long dead, I didn’t like to say…

AlanThePig · 28/06/2021 23:22

Sheridan Smith once laughed at DH when I’d tweeted that he’d walked into the corner of the sofa because he was watching her on tv and not where he was going. That amused me
DH has also had a full on row with Alan Davies over football.

Tyne Daly and Elijah Wood were probably my most fan girly moments though.

ScribblyBaller · 28/06/2021 23:22

That was a nice thing for Jamie Oliver to do. Tarte tatin is basically lava, so bloody hell, I bet that was painful!

petridishmystery · 28/06/2021 23:26

I tell a lie, Britney is still following me. and Yoko Ono. Aaron Carter isn’t following me any more tho. It really is them, it’s so odd. Maybe you can set it up so it auto follows people every so often?

plominoagain · 28/06/2021 23:27

It was ! It took a moment for the burning to start , but once it did , it really did ! What was worse was I had a small child behind me , so it wasn’t as it I could fling it away from me and let it spatter everywhere, so i hung grimly onto it and put it carefully on the drainer . Then plunged my hand in the sink , wailing . Then drove myself to hospital with my hand in a ziplock bag of iced water sellotaped to my wrist .

HowdenMinster · 28/06/2021 23:28

I've been retweeted by Michael Rosen.

ScribblyBaller · 28/06/2021 23:30

Wow, I salute you, @plominoagain. You are hard as nails and I think you should start presenting that SAS programme on Channel 4.

TurdCrapley · 28/06/2021 23:35

Not Twitter but Stacey Solomon saw an Instagram story I did tagging her and she liked it. That was a high during lockdown.

DontDoThatGeorge · 28/06/2021 23:37

Hugh Grant retweeted me and said I was very funny. Fuck me, but I nearly died 😍

Barak follows me too. Twitter is brilliant.

Elderflower14 · 29/06/2021 00:02

I've chatted with Sam West and Dr Ranj on Twitter after ds2 met them and video called me!

WildOrchids67 · 29/06/2021 00:07

I got a reply from Rosie Ramsey when I commented about an item of SMA merch. I was happy that day, she's someone I'd love to be friends with!

PickAChew · 29/06/2021 00:12

Victoria Coren-Mitchell is lovely on twitter (or was years ago - no idea if she is still active)

He doesn't have twitter does he? I've just looked and can't see him on there.
