I just met actor Irene Marot, who played Ron Dixon’s wife DD in Brookside, when she asked me for directions on a London street corner. Happy to report that she is absolutely delightful IRL. (I told her she looked familiar and she seemed surprised and chuffed that I had recognised her.)

So, which “celebrities” (A-list or otherwise) have you met by chance in a “civilian” or daily life context. And what were they like?

Circa the 90's I drank with most of the then Emmerdale cast. It was filmed opposite our local. They were all lovely.
James Bolam, lovely, polite man.

I met the other Likely Lad Rodney Bewes... Very rude and entitled.. Was in the same hotel as him one night. I ended up sharing a table at the bar. He was grumbling about doing a celebrity cruise!!

@Elderflower14 Do you know, I can imagine that! He always came across to me as if he could be quite snobby in real life! He played it too well I reckon!

He's died aged 99. Very sad.

Oh no. I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for this thread as he obviously was unknown outside Scotland. I know he lived to a grand old age but I feel sad that someone who was a big part of my childhood is no longer here.
