The thing with these threads is that after page upon page of suggestion, the answer is always “no, not them”. From which I infer that memory plays tricks.

im starting to agree! i haven't read all the suggestions but i will. i don't understand how she's not coming up unless ive made this person up!

I'm betting it turns out to be Sarah Alexander or Samantha Womack, but just to add one more: Sara Stewart.

This is the third or fourth hread along these lines I've read and they are really, really annoying. It makes me think that the OP is on the wind up. There was an absurd one a bit ago about a chubby actor with a moustache.

The fact that you described her as wearing the same clothes you think you’ve seen her wearing on telly makes me think it was actually the clothes that made you think she was famous, and she actually wasn’t. I think you saw a ‘type’ and that was what your brain recognised.
