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!

@BaffledMum22 he was very posh! We actually met when he was doing gigs in really small venues about a year before he started doing Mock the Week etc and he came to the venue bar afterwards and we got chatting and swapped numbers. He was a bit awkward and shy which is not what I was expecting because he comes across really confident! But yeah just generally he was really lovely.

I've asked my husband three words to use Grin... he said "woman", "hair" and "funny". Blush
Claudia Winkleman definitely! 😊
DimAfterglow · 27/03/2022 22:46

Ooooh are they as funny in real life?

Not close friends but I'm friendly (same friendship group, have hung out many times) with Terrorvision's Tony Wright. Nothing bad to say about him :)

Slatkater · 27/03/2022 22:54

[quote DancingChairs]@TheArtfulBlogger she gets talked about on MN every once in a while and watches for threads she's mentioned on! I'd rather not be inundated with messages from her flying monkeys.[/quote]
I know exactly who you mean. Nasty piece of work.

FIL's cousin was Pat Phoenix. She came to our wedding!

@Gonnagetgoing

My brother knows a few actors as he works with them. I knew Brand new heavies members as best male friend knew them. My mum was good friends with Jan Pienkowski.
I forgot, I went to school with Brand New Heavies. I was friends with Simon and my DS was friends with his DB, whose name I can't actually rememberGrin Both lovely lads then. Andrew Levy was so laid back he was horizontal, a really amiable person.

So jealous. One of my favourite bands. 😁
Foxglovers · 27/03/2022 22:58

I thought exactly the same!

sisisvien · 27/03/2022 22:59

I know an actor who kills zombies for a living.

Dogmum40 · 27/03/2022 23:01

I used to know Ellen MacArthur until we moved the opposite ends of the country, so sadly not in touch anymore, lovely down to earth, she wasn’t a big fan of fame or people but then again when you sail around the world on your own, you need to prefer your own company

Does anyone know, Kate, Meghan or Zara? Fascinated to see what they share like in normals life and not how they are portrayed in the media, they get a bashing at times and it shouldn’t happen so I wonder if Kate swears like a trooper, Meghan is nice and not at all venomous like she’s described by the vicious media and does Zara like a drink a two Grin

AnastasiaRomanov · 27/03/2022 23:03

I knew someone who was very good friends with Zara and Mike. She had nothing bad to say about them except that if you invited them to anything like a wedding or christening, they never brought presents.

SouperNoodle · 27/03/2022 23:04

@GoldenThready have you been guessed yet?

PrawnofthePatriarchy · 27/03/2022 23:05

I've met several very famous people through my membership of AA. However it's completely against AA traditions to identify them.

DH was in the music industry many years ago and I met lots of famous or somewhat famous musicians.

Fidodidit · 27/03/2022 23:06

@StScholastica

My DH grew up with Paul Weller and remains friends (hasn't seen him for a couple of years now though).
Do you know Dee C Lee? Am sure he described her as something like “a nice bird who was can hold a pint” in a Smash Hits year book then it turned out they were married, the silver tongued devil.
70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/03/2022 23:06

I am distantly related to one of the actors in "Take The High Road" ( before it became High Road"

I don;t actually know his name , real or character Blush
