Kiefer Sutherland gave me a big hug 🤗

I congratulated Tim Jones on his magnificent imitation of… Tom Jones. (The shame!)

I have also had a friendly exchange with Louis Walsh which I thought I knew from somewhere but coukdnt remember where until someone pointed out he was the guy from X factor. 🤦‍♀️

I had a date with a BBC presenter, he was great but never agreed to see him again because I couldn’t shake the “rabbit in the headlights“ feeling when with him.

I looked after the daughter of Nina Wadia, so met her loads of times.

That's about as exciting as it gets for me Grin

Oh and Rochelle Humes, who looked like she was wearing PJs

Bob Geldof in Wembley stadium car park (he was getting in a Saab) the night before the tribute to Freddie mercury concert, which we were going to and just hanging around listening to the sound checks!
jonathon Ross and his wife in selfridges (circa 2000 I think)
David Seaman (ex arsenal goalie) at a signing session for his autobiography (coincidentally also at selfridges, at a similar time, as it was when we lived in London)

Levi Schreiber at the airport & Christopher Biggins in a restaurant.

Met Olivia Newton John in a department store toilet in London back in the 70’s. She was really friendly, kind and sweet. A real down to Earth girl next door.

Chesney Hawkes asked me to dance in a nightclub and I turned him down twice until my ear was bent and on the third ask I danced with him.

MissingMoominMamma · 30/07/2024 23:13

I met Kelly Jones after a Far From Saints gig.

Tiny, but fucking gorgeous.

Shared a prawn curry takeout with Boy George at his house. He was absolutely lovely 😍

Quite a few.

When I was growing up Robbie Coltrane used the same paper shop as my parents and he used to chat to my mum a lot. I was scared of him but he did shake my hand.

I've also stood beside Kevin Bridges in a pub. Once got lost finding my friends in a nightclub and accidentally ended up in a queue to meet Michael Greco from Eastenders instead. 🤣

I've been on The Chase so met Bradley Walsh and Mark Labbett there.

Met loads of Emmerdale people through an event my dad's work was involved in. I did some photography at the time so my dad roped me in to do some promo shots for his company with the actress who played Edna's granddaughter. I actually couldn't tell you now if it was the original actress or Suzanne Shaw though. Blush

And I met all the members of the band Travis a few weeks ago and got selfies with them all. I'm still buzzing from that one. Grin

daisydalrymple · 30/07/2024 23:20

Oh and Maureen lipman! She was a customer I served when I was pregnant with dc3. All the staff were vying for her attention, but the owner put me on her section, and she just wanted to talk about my pregnancy and her grandchild and another on the way. She was lovely!

daisydalrymple · 30/07/2024 23:22

@Badbadbunny celeb meet envy 😍

daisydalrymple · 30/07/2024 23:27

I’ve met all of the rock band Those Damn Crows. They are so lovely and really appreciate their fans and do fan meets after their gigs.

I have met Davina a few times..she is almost my neighbour . An absolutely lovely human being and I love her dog 🐶

MugPlate · 30/07/2024 23:35

What is “met”?
Queued up at a book signing?
Sheepishly asked for a selfie at a restaurant?
Spent an evening chatting?
Brought over their life soda?

These are all very different types of “met”.

leeverarch · 30/07/2024 23:54

My DM met the Queen Mother on the steps of Westminster Abbey once. No idea why either of them were there though.

Noel Fielding apparently at a hotel in Stoke pre Bake Off - I didn't know who he was.
Gary Glitter hanging out of his dressing room window sympathising with us bunch of 12 year olds who couldn't afford the quid to get into his concert in 1972. He then mentioned us in an interview with Disco 45 magazine. We really thought we were the bees knees🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮🤮
