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?

Hated the bank where I worked but happy to take the money in the ad for it.

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

It was Carol Wright

Sorry I missed this🙄

A friend was in a band, and Bob Geldof wanted them to play at a big event. Apparently he was a bit of a knob.

Trinacham · 09/05/2022 19:43

not me but two people I know (unrelated, never met each other) have both had interactions (one in person, one over telephone) with Warwick Davies. He was very rude to both.

Madeintowerhamlets · 09/05/2022 19:43

Another vote for Bob Geldof. I worked in a clothes shop & he came in with his daughter. Very surly & ungrateful.

HelpfulAlex · 09/05/2022 19:43

Ah. I didn’t know that. I only know of Mark Wright because of Michelle Keegan (plus I’ve been binge watching the royals on Netflix and he is in that).

I'm trying to think what mums of celebrities I'd recognise.

Can't think of any!

I met Chris Tarrant and god he was pleased with himself. Really, really full of it, in a most unpleasant way.

I came on to say Chris Tarrant! He was absolutely so full of himself.

@hattie43

Yes!! I saw him punch someone in a pub. He was an absolute arse. Have met him on a few occasions as we have a mutual friend, and has been less unpleasant since, but there is no excuse for violence. He did have a very horrible childhood, so there is some degree of understanding there.

ScottishBeeswax · 09/05/2022 19:46

My 1st thought was Judy Murray too!
So glad it wasn't her

Ashley from Corrie
Mark Lamar

My DH met Mark Lamar once and said he would need to be a lot more famous than he is to be as much of an arsehole as he was. I always said well you never know because someone might be having a bad day etc but maybe he is just an arsehole.

Adam Woodyat, not unlike his actual Ian character then?

Yep, heard he's an arse via someone who shares a pastime with him.

icelollycraving · 09/05/2022 19:48

I love these threads. I’ve found the more a list they are, the more jumped up they are.

Athleticpotential · 09/05/2022 19:48

I've met Mark Wright's brother Josh (a minor footballer) and he's not pleasant either

ELM8 · 09/05/2022 19:49

I met ross kemp in a pub, asked for a selfie then he kept checking them until we got a flattering one (of him) then made sure I deleted the rest...

icelollycraving · 09/05/2022 19:50

What I had written was, the more Z list, the more jumped up.

Needtosave99 · 09/05/2022 19:50

The woman who played Becky in Corrie (married to Steve)

honestly she is rude and entitled very much do you know who I am… and her (ex now I believe) husband was very much like ‘do you know who my wife is…. I will be telling her celeb pals about this shoddy service’ just for the record they paid for a reduced option level of ‘something’ then complained when it didn’t include items they wanted and expected us to do them for free and no quibbles

I’m ashamed to say the H ended up getting what he wanted…. And it was the actress some time later wanted something not available to her and thankfully then the bosses stuck to the level they had paid for. I cannot watch anything with her in now at all

bobbingalongside · 09/05/2022 19:39

I actually feel quite unsettled by it. I felt like a dirty member of staff that was bothering her or something.. and I too was a customer! Not staff

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!

I haven't met him but a very close friend has met Elliott Wright. She said he was absolutely lovely and offered to help with her daughter's pram down the stairs

Chris moyles and his breakfast show crew. They were traveling around the country in TV famous vehicles knight rider car that kinda thing. I worked in a hotel they stayed in. Spoke to the staff like shite. They were all equally jumped up & unpleasant

Suggs’s mum is an arsehole

I dunno why but that made me laugh out loud.

Suggs seems like such a dude too.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 09/05/2022 19:53

When he was little, DH was slapped on the head by Geoff Capes. So he's definitely the rudest celeb I've never met.
