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.

Jason Manford retweeted a few of mine. Slid into my DMs too. I was 19 at the time 🤮. Just before the first cheating scandal came out.
Around the same time I tweetes about dreaming Rob Delaney was my stepdad. He put a funny reply and retweeted it. He wasn't really famous off of twitter back then.

I've been retweeted by Corey Feldman 👌

Kind of cool isn't it. One of my claims to fame is Chris packham has retweeted my post and photo but my ddog making the 10o'clock news was something else!

Re Cillian Murphy. He's notoriously private, has no social media at all and rarely even has photos with fans according to some sources, preferring to just have a chat.
Whoever tweeted you @beachcitygirl sadly it wasn't Cillian.

@AutumnCrow he knows I have the authority! Grin

@Bloodypunkrockers how odd! I’ve met him and he was really lovely. We accidentally went to the cinema together.

I think that's why I'm so hurt Grin

We'd seen the Gary Tank Commander stage show and I was going to tweet to say how good it had been

But blocked.

@ovenchips

I got blocked by comedian Reginald D Hunter! Have no idea of my crime. I have only tweeted a handful of times in my life - pretty innocuous stuff and think my only interaction with him was to 'like' some of his tweets. It still puzzles me!
You could be on a list of people that they've blocked. It's why I'm blocked by a load of people because I follow Graham Linehan and I'm therefore a nasty horrid terf and on some weird block list. I'll get over it.

I've had a few actors and actresses like tweets and a couple have replied when I've tweeted them, particular when I've been to see a show of theirs. Alas nobody super famous though!

John finnemore replied to my tweet the other day. I was well chuffed 😊😊

PollyPepper · 29/06/2021 21:07

Britney Spears follows me. Not even ashamed with how proud I am about that.

LagganBubble · 29/06/2021 21:17

Jess Phillips replied to one of my tweets! I was so excited! Off to check whether Barack Obama is following me now Grin

Squirrel26 · 29/06/2021 21:19

I once tweeted Sarah Milican and she replied and said I had made her laugh. That made me extremely happy.

Being followed by Barack Obama would make me extremely happy times about a million though. Grin

@MostIneptThatEverStepped

Edwyn Collins replied to one of my tweets once. I love him so much 😭
That's cos he'd never met a girl like you before
mnahmnah · 29/06/2021 21:29

Katherine Ryan and Sara cox have retweet’s me. Dr Alex sent me a ❤️

Haybo26 · 29/06/2021 21:31

Jason Manford has responded and retweeted me twice on Twitter. Uber chuffed. Derek Brockway the weatherman has also liked a few of my photos of the weather ha

pinkoctopuss · 29/06/2021 21:36

I've had a random DM from Jedward Grin

Ken Wahl answered me on Facebook once and I was totally fangirling.

Tempusfudgeit · 29/06/2021 21:51

Stephen Fry said my DH was 'very naughty and very funny'.

We're thinking of putting it on his CV!

VienneseWhirligig · 29/06/2021 21:57

Marti Pellow follows me on Insta and DM'd me once after I shared a photo of me meeting him that I had found on an old memory card. I was starstruck!

olderthanilookapparently · 29/06/2021 22:04

I recently tweeted Steve Davies and he liked my tweet I was delighted.

Also once chatted to Zoe Ball about having sick kids at home (pre covid!!)

Feilin · 29/06/2021 22:11

I pissed off Duncan Bannatyne by agreeing with him in a twitter spat he was having . He called me stupid 😆 Ive had a response from Jake Wood on instagram too it was much more pleasant

Doodle2021 · 29/06/2021 22:14

Barack Obama also follows me on twitter... weird!

Forstarters · 29/06/2021 22:21

Jamie Oliver did not send you a book. His PR team did. Almost all of these big celeb accounts are run by social teams. I work with a lot of them……

MaverickDanger · 29/06/2021 22:24

Obama and Stephen Fry were my first two followers on Twitter.

My cousin was third. Much less exciting.
