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?

James corden is awful, and I mean awful!

Doesn't surprise me. My instinct tells me the exact same.

Kylie refused to sign my plaster cast when I had a broken arm when I was about 5 (30+ years ago, ahem). I've felt a bit cold towards her ever since!

Neil Oliver a deceitful and thoroughly unpleasant man.

Greg Wallace (MasterChef) total nob head. Flanked by massive security guards and refused to talk about or answer questions on MasterChef. Its all people wanted to talk to him about.

DONT FORGET THE EXTRA G😉😉😉

I agree Alan Shearer thought he was gods gift in a Newcastle night club.

James Martin -awful, fake, rude, moody

Wendy Craig - such a disappointment, rude, snooty, dismissive

Keith Barron - vile asshole

Tinkerblonde1 · 09/05/2022 20:10

Adrian Edmonson and Rick mayall refused to sign our merch too.

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...

TBF I do this, such is my camera phobia. I am not famous Grin

Alwaystheplusone · 09/05/2022 20:13

Paul O’Grady. Awful. A terrible snob too. I couldn’t believe what he was like but with hindsight, he was best mates with Cilla Black so…

I have OCD in my family - the comment about not touching the fruit could be because she had OCD and was worried about contamination or I guess worried about it being squeezed etc. She was a little rude in her abruptness but maybe she was stressed. We've all been stressed and appeared more abrupt than we would have liked to.

Bill Bailey. He brought his family to a kids comedy show (he was performing himself later that day) and let his kid (aged about 9 or 10) run around on the stage DURING the show and interrupt. He just sat there laughing. Entitled prick.

ThelmaDinkley · 09/05/2022 20:13

Sara Cox. All that down to earth persona is a facade. Not nice at all.

Bellagio40 · 09/05/2022 20:13

Jonathan Ross

Idbemonica1 · 09/05/2022 20:14

Doesn't do impressions by anychance?

Lollypop701 · 09/05/2022 20:14

rio Ferdinand was in his restaurant… I didn’t recognise him but quite a few people approached him and he was lovely with them

I've heard awful things about JR. Terrible to work with apparently.

Iamnotamermaid · 09/05/2022 20:15

Heard that Ben Fogle & his wife are not that pleasant to deal with and that Kate Humble, from those stuck on a boat with her, is not actually that humble. Tony Robinson was too friendly...😦

Redbluelellow · 09/05/2022 20:15

Alistair Campbell if he counts is also really nice and has a lot of time for people.
Before he was famous but Stephen mulhern stood me up once and I wasn't happy. Now however 🤣🤣

Vic Reeves! He came into the shop I worked in when I was 16 and had no manners.

Someone else I knew who ran a shop said he and his family were the rudest customers she ever had. So it wasn't a one-off.

I’ve met Ben fogle a few times and he has been absolutely lovely each and every time!

Cricketers: Flintoff and Harmison seemed like great blokes when I met them. Strauss not so much. Had a nice chat with Matthew Hoggard.

Sean Bean is definitely a wanker though -massive letch, completely wasted and really short, yet thought he could order us to join him for a curry.

SausagePourHomme · 09/05/2022 20:17

i don't really like these threads. Why expect anyone to be 'lovely' to you. They have no idea who you are, and they didn't get where they are by being nice. They got famous by being unusual and unreasonable. Deal with it.

That said, I have met several of the Dingle family actors from Emmerdale and without exception they were absolute treasures.
