It's Sunday. I'm bored! Do you have any celebrity friends as in close enough to have them on Watsapp etc. Come on give us a clue, maybe some MNers will even be brave enough to tell us names!

Not exactly a celebrity, but my baby brother won an Oscar last night.

@crispmidnightpeace they'll be too busy trying to track down the Spain/Portugal husband.

He really does! I'd always thought he'd be very serious and gloomy but he was just lovely. Very kind and friendly. And utterly magnetic!

Dennis Taylor the snooker player plays golf at my golf course.. Very nice man... Mike Peters from The Alarm lives in same village.. Was friendly with his sister when we were kids.. Met Tony Hadley quite a few years ago when he played football with Mike Peters

I was going to say is it Riz Ahmed, but he IS a celebrity surely?

@hidinginthekitchenwithwine

I used to work for one. Public image: positive, caring friendly. Reality: toxic, messed up marriage, weird views on women (despite being one), snarky, materialistic and only interested in people she deemed "important"
Cilla Black?

A member of the Honeyz, 90s girl band.
She's very down to earth and friendly.

Quite a few members of my family have met Stephen Fry ( he used to live locally) and all say he’s charming and hilarious.

Wow-I loved his drumming. It gave Blondie that ‘sound’. And great haircut
LaDamaDeElche · 28/03/2022 18:46

I'm good friends with a known, but I wouldn't say really famous, actor (if you like football hooligan type films you'll know him). We've been friends since we were kids. I went to school with James D'Arcy, although didn't know him well as he's a bit older than me. I also went to school with LBC's Theo Underwood, although I don't know if he'd be considered famous.

Used to be friends with a very famous British rapper. He even used it cat sit for me before he hit the big time. Was friends through my ex though, so don't keep in touch any more.

I met an Eastenders on a dating site! We had one date but didn’t meet again

Schooldilemma2345 · 28/03/2022 18:48

I’m friends with Huey from the Fun Lovin Criminals.
I also went to school with Duncan from Blue- I don’t hang out with him anymore but we both comment on each other’s FB posts etc.

Geezabreak82 · 28/03/2022 18:49

I used to be good friends with Chris Rock but we recently fell out after I slapped him.

Oh my life I have the biggest crush on Clem!

I run a youth group and about 10 years ago was very surprised to see one of the kid's dad on Soccer AM, he's in Doves and I had no idea.

BiscuitLover3678 · 28/03/2022 18:51

These threads are always so frustrating. Why not just say their names and give them some good press if they are nice people? Surely they have more than one friend and won’t be able to identify you! 😂

yes I’m just nosy

Elodie9 · 28/03/2022 18:51

I worked with Tanya Burr for a short time ( vlogger , used to be married to Jim Chapman. )

ItsMeRhondaFromPS129 · 28/03/2022 18:51

@FromDespairToHere really!! Well you'll be pleased to know he's a proper gent! Quiet though..!!! Will always speak to people but does like to keep a low profile.

Am I allowed to talk about your wife?

GetOutOfTheBathPlease · 28/03/2022 18:52

I’m friends with Meera Syal, who is really lovely, kind and funny, as is Sanjeev.
