Most unpleasant celeb you've ever met?

[bobbingalongside]

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 ' 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?

@GinnysGin I met Will before a show once and he was indeed delightful! I can’t remember a thing I said to him though as I was totally starstruck and trying not to throw up with excitement (I’m a bit of a fan!!)

My other half has lots of celeb stories through working in theatre:

He found Jimmy Carr to be lovely and polite, David Walliams also lovely.
Ainsley Harriott was lovely as long as you accepted he was sexually assault any animal, vegetable or mineral within a ten foot radius. Wish I was joking

Danny Le Roux assaulted him live onstage to a capacity audience, who all laughed.

I met Gerard and Frank from My Chemical Romance and they were both lovely, especially Frank who was really attentive x

Only ever met celebrities through work. Lost count of how rude some of them are to people who are just trying to do their job and don't need reprimanding by a B lister. But I've also met some who are genuinely friendly and stop for a chat.

John Noakes (ex Blue Peter presenter for anyone under 55!) was very unpleasant

I used to go to the same exercise class as Sara Cox. I didn't know who she was (not British) but noticed that other people in the class flocked to her/asked her questions/wanted to be around her so I asked someone who she was.

She was really nice, more so than I would be if I was coated in sweat and just trying to burn off calories. This was not at a super high-end gym, btw. Just a normal "middle class mum who lives in Kensal Rise" kind of place.

I met Gerard and Frank from My Chemical Romance and they were both lovely, especially Frank who was really attentive

I've met them too, really nice down to Earth friendly guys. The whole band are really but agree Gerard and Frank are lovely and very engaging.

Freddie Starr very arrogant! Diddy david hamilton same, as was Dave Lee travis Noel Edmunds

Yes I’ve heard this. He had dementia the later part of his life poor soul.

I’d be gutted to hear Peter Purves was anything but lovely. He was like a favourite uncle in my Blue Peter days.

James Whale?

he laughed at me, a then 10yr old, after I fell over in the street.

Disappointed to hear that John Noakes was any less than unutterably lovely! That's ruined my day.

Mary portas. I was behind her in the queue in Starbucks and she was absolutely vile to the staff. Really disgusting behaviour.

The Katie Price night hag bit 🤣🤣🤣 that killed me.

I actually find this comment a lot ruder than someone asking you not to touch their fruit (a bit strange but maybe she was having an off day or stressed because she'd just dropped her shopping and was embarrassed, we are all human. Even 'dirty members of staff'). I do find these kind of comments amusing - horrified that a celebrity could possibly be a bit snappy with you whilst simultaneously insulting staff members.

Nicest celeb I've met was Olivia Newton John, back in the early 80s at the height of her career. She was absolutely lovely. Very friendly and chatty and we talked for ages (at least it seemed like that, probably just a few minutes). She definitely wasn't fake - in person, she was exactly the same friendly, naive, "girl next door" personality as she was on TV in interviews etc.

What exactly HAS happened to Katie Hopkins? She's vanished off the face of the earth.

Yes, I had the misfortune to have dealings with Noel Edmonds. Not a nice man at all. He was a very good "actor"!

I've met Stacey Solomon and Amy Child's through work, both were lovely and their children were beautifully behaved. I think most celebrities, like everyone else have their off days when they possibly aren't on their best form, I don't think its altogether fair to judge their entire personality on one or two bad experiences. That's not to say their won't be some who are arseholes of course but being in the public eye doesn't make you superhuman and it's just not possible to be 'on' all the time.

and i have the right to say just because someone is dead doesnt mean they were nice

Seriously want to know what mum celebrity this is !!!

@Flippermeflopits

Oh that's disappointing as I listen to them every morning. Can't say that it surprises me thought. What a shame, no need for that whatsoever.

The one about Katie Hopkins actually being polite and pleasant made me smile.

I have the same issue with a female Tory MP that I seem to cross paths with a lot; Their voting record is appalling, as is their defence of the antics of Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson.

However, whenever I see them in the community they are always really nice, genuine and helpful. Just another pleasant chatty mum basically.

I always come away thinking " If I didn't know you were a Tory MP, I'd think you were a nice person " 😄

Carol Wright was the first name that came to mind for me before the OP confirmed. I'm not surprised.

I've met quite a few celebrities and politicians and am yet to meet anyone remarkable, either for being dreadful or for being more 'absolutely lovely' than people from other walks of life.

Ah I love him (and Fleming) on newscast.

I'd definitely say Olivia Newton John was one of the nicest/friendliest person I've ever met. A few minutes with her left a lasting impression on me.
