Alexandra Burke at a motorway services in the shop. Didn't even realise it was her until someone else pointed her out.

JK Rowling in Tesco.

Stood next to Stacey Solomon in a fast food place.

Julie Christie in the Ojai Valley post office in California. And of course I went full-American and told her I LOVE her! 😆
In the UK, I behave better.

Does Carol McGiffin count? Actually she was behind me.

(Check-in at Singapore)

Emma Thompson in a cafe.

Oh, and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale in an airport years ago. Their boys were very, ummm, ‘spirited’ Grin.

Nick Cave in my local health food store.

Yes a footballer infront of me in Morrisons. Kyle Lafferty, I've actually seen him about my town a lot I think he stayed here or nearby (obvs in the big fancy expensive houses). He played for the team I've got a season ticket for. A few folk were asking for autographs/pics. I didn't have the balls to say anything.

I've seen quite a few Celebes over the years mainly footballers though either at games or randomly out and about at shopping centres, restaurants etc and I'm too shy to go over. Even though I am not shy usually 🤷🏻‍♀️

Paula Yates in Boots. Her daughters were racing around like maniacs. Also at an American airport queued behind a then famous MP who had to wait with the rest of us because nobody knew who he was. I had a secret laugh to myself.

The actor Richard Harris at a theatre and Sting at the bar in Dingwalls Camden.

Lemmy in a convenience store in Chelsea around 1983/4. Amazingly, he wasn't buying Jack Daniels or vodka (I can't remember what he was buying).

Alvin Stardust,
I did say to him "oh hello it's Mr Dust isn't it?

Which I regret a bit now... 😳

I sat behind Ricky Gervais at a Kate Bush gig a few years ago. Just when I was thinking life couldn't possibly get any better I heard him laughing. Massive fan of them both and I'll never forget that night.

FisherThem · 23/03/2023 10:28

Michael Portillo in a post office. He still owes me 20p for a stamp.

moggerhanger · 23/03/2023 10:29

In front of Rubens Barichello (F1 driver from several years ago) going into a cinema in Cambridge. He was much shorter than I imagined an F1 driver would be!

QueenofallIsee · 23/03/2023 10:29

Sean Ryder at the VIP bar at Reading Festival circa 1996. I jostled him accidentally and he called me a rude name. Good times

CreoQueTodosHagamos · 23/03/2023 10:29

Oh and Debbie McGee in a garage in Henley. She flashed me a beautiful smile.

HanSB · 23/03/2023 10:30

Danny Dyer in a Legoland food place but he bypassed the queue when staff saw him and then again queuing up for a ride

whatkatydid2013 · 23/03/2023 10:31

A few footballers in local shops, Jonny Wilkinson at an airport check in, I’ve queued with Jennifer Morrison for drinks on a night out but that was almost 20 years ago and she wasn’t really famous then. She was in London with some friends & I went to meet up with one of them as we’d studied abroad together
