Most unpleasant celeb you've ever met?

I met a well known mum of a celebrity today. I was offering to give her a hand as she had dropped some shopping on the way to her car.

She shouted 'Don't touch! It's fruit Confused' I said oh sorry, thought you needed a hand there. She said no, just don't touch. I'm fine.

I was shocked and walked off.

Have you ever met a celebrity that's been rude? Or sounded rude even if they weren't actually speaking to you?

Met Katie Price years ago in a queue at a Madonna concert. Tiny, pretty and really quite adorable.

Nigel Farage - cracking bloke, talks to and has time for everyone.

Jo Johnstone - dull as bleeding ditchwater.

My Dad is doing some work for one of Sting’s daughters and says she’s a doll. He did some work for Tom Baker (Doctor Who) yonks ago and said he was absolute cunt.

I met NF when his son's school played cricket against my son's school. He wasn't pleasant to anyone that day.

I've got some lovely and not so lovely ones

I know you didn't ask for the nice ones but here they are anyway! Some are that my family have met not me.

Holly Willouby - lovely
Debbie Mgee - unbelievable kind and lovely
Peter Andre - lovely
Gina Mc Kee - met her when I was a teenager and I was an extra in a film. I missed going to get GCSE results for it, remember having a conversation with her about it and she was so eager for me to go and get them! She was a great listener and very humble.
Kate Garraway - delightful

To be fair I think I’d think even less of her if you were a member of staff. It’s a big priority of mine to treat supermarket and service staff with respect and kindness. You wouldn’t believe how they’re often treated. And they’re generally not dirty either!

Show quote history

Same.
People who treat staff in shops badly are really low.
The silly woman who didn’t want her fruit touched
Did it pick itself, pack itself, be put pit on display by itself??
No, many people touched it before she did!

Kirsty Young is really lovely.

Jimmy Nail. As a youngster out collecting for the poppy appeal in Central London, he told me to move out of his way and said 'What for?' to his manager/publicist when they asked if they could buy a poppy for him. I have never gorgotten it.

Jimmy Carr, saw him at a train station and I took a double glance because I couldn’t believe it was him and he gave me the filthiest look I’ve ever received 😂

Papergirl1968 · 09/05/2022 21:47

I guess so. It's a small world, *hellcatspanglelalala" (waves).

Lily Allen was incredibly unpleasant. Rude, abd full of herself (before she was very famous) Her dad was very nice

Take comfort from the fact that Kevin and Perry are based on Lily Allen and her brother Alfie as Harry Enfield was their stepfather for a while. 😂

@Georgeskitchen not late night love with graham Torrington?!! 😅

No!! Not him either!! 😅😅

Prince Charles was seen as genuinely lovely and charming by certain people I know when he visited.

His wife, not so much. But an excellent dancer for all that.

Ryan Giggs. A family member who was a life time Man U fan and met him at an event which was meant to be for the ordinary people attending who have done extraordinary things if you get my drift. Anyway what an anticlimax....

I met a local radio presenter many years ago, probably not a national celeb but well known in the county, doing appearances, opening fetes etc. He hosted a late night phone in and things often got heated. He could be quite rude to those who phoned in ( including me) he did an appearance at my work place and he was every bit as obnoxious in real life as his radio persona

Stannage, @Georgeskitchen?

Bluebellaella · 09/05/2022 21:50

I hate to say it but years ago I met Katie Hopkins and she was really lovely!!

BrightonBunny · 09/05/2022 21:51

Madonna. Really uptight and fucking rude.

Surprised to see Bob Geldof on the list. Met him twice and he was warm, charming and friendly both times, despite the fact he was going through an incredibly stressful time.

Greyandgloom · 09/05/2022 21:51

Rio Ferdinand, I used to work in a luxury shop years ago and he came in for some shoes that I knew we didn’t have in stock, was really rude to me when I told him we didn’t have them in!

Victoria Coren-Mitchell has been really unpleasant on the few occasions I’ve met her

Alsonification · 09/05/2022 21:52

My mother-in-law was in a coffee shop with her sisters when she saw a man she thought she knew at another table. She told her sisters she was just going to pop over and say hi. Over she went, tapped him on the shoulder and said “hi how are you, I haven’t seen you in ages” & she gave him a big hug. They chatted for awhile, he was extremely friendly, really nice, appeared to know her very well also. She then said goodbye & went back to her sisters again. Her sisters were looking at her in shock and she couldn’t understand why. Turns out it wasn’t someone she knew, it was Brendan Gleeson ! She had no idea. She ended up going back to his table to apologise to him but he was so kind and friendly and he told her not to worry about it at all sure didn’t they have a lovely chat. :)

Womanface · 09/05/2022 21:54

Honestly, ABSOLUTELY LOVELY has turned be the most well worn phrase ever on here 😂

I only really pay attention to situations where people met them at work. I get miserable just doing the school run so there’s no way I’d be an “absolutely lovely” celeb

i can confirm however, through work, that Prince Charles is am entitled bellend

Hibye23289 · 09/05/2022 21:54

@RewildingAmbridge oh no please don't. I've seen this a few times on this thread about Ainsley and to me he seems like the most happiest and friendly man, he makes me happy watching him! 😩😩
