To ask what your best celebrity encounter is?

[BowieFan]

I've snogged every member of Boyzone, including Ronan. I am incredibly proud of this...

DP is fond of telling everyone how much the Queen Mother loved his fart joke. He was escorting her around his barracks when one of the ceremonial horses which had pulled her carriage farted, the Queen Mother said "Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" to which DP replied "Oh, I thought it was the horse!"

He says she split her sides laughing...

Samantha Morton used to streak all the bleeding time when she used to drink in a pub I worked in. I think I've seen her bits more times than her gynaecologist.

Jason Donovan claims he never went out with Kylie and it was all a publicity stunt if he speaks privately.

Macaulay Culkin is absolutely lovely.

Can't recount encounter with Jude Law as Mumsnet would get sued.

Was in an Italian restaurant one evening, heard this big booming laugh. Looked up at friend, raised eyebrows and turned around to see Frank Bruno enjoying a meal with a table full of lovely ladies.

Oh Paul Daniels. I can't call him what I'd like to because he's dead. But he was a horrible little man. I used to have dreadlocks and piercings. I was very, very ill with flu once and was crawling practically to my mother's house in a 'naice' area to be looked after. I'd put on a very old tatty puffa jacket purely because it was warm, but I looked awful. I was crossing a road and was stood at an island and he pulled in front of me in his car and made some really nasty comments about scumbag drug addicts through his window. Totally unprovoked and also untrue as I was just sick!

I met David Attenborough walking along the street in Edinburgh. I was living with my now ex in a flat on a veh posh street in the city centre and was walking along said street when I clocked who was coming towards me. There was nobody else around and I knew I had to steel myself and say something to him or I'd really have regretted it. Anyway, he was charm personified and talked to me for about 5 minutes; he was just wonderful. His memoirs Life on Air had just been published and he was in town to do a signing, which I had been planning to go to anyway, and when I did he recognised me from our street encounter. I still treasure my copy of LoA, he wrote a really lovely message in it.

When I was an undergraduate, David Bellamy was my Moral Tutor. In practice, this meant I and his other tutees went to a party at his once a term, it was always delightful.

You don't get many encounters here in Plymouth but I served chips to Tom Daley once, didn't even know who he was until one of my younger colleagues told me.

My sister had hugs off most of the members of 5ive when they appeared at the radio 1 roadshow here...

My dad tho, he's met The Beatles (minus Lennon) and got drunk with Gary Glitter (shudder)

DS1 reminded me that he was sick on Emma Thompson's shoes at a greenpeace demonstration. To her credit, she was lovely about it and we had a good laugh that it was probably the broth we had all eaten the night before.

Robert plant (of led zeppelin fame) tried it on with me. I was 20 and he was 50+. I had to take him something to his hotel room and he opened the door with no clothes on and invited me in

I ran away ha ha!

I met Miltos Yerolemou, who played Syrio Forel (Arya's dance teacher) in Game of Thrones (amongst other things). He was the loveliest person ever .

Agree about Paul Daniels. Had the misfortune to meet him a couple of times and he was always nasty. You got the feeling he was bitter that he wasn't that famous anymore. My friend worked at a theatre where he and Debbie McGee did Panto and said they were huge Divas. It's always the case that the Z-listers are Divas though because they're compensating for being shit. My friend also worked with Judi Dench and said she was the nicest person ever and knew everybody at the theatre by name and even sent my friend flowers when she discovered she was pregnant. Apparently Victoria Wood was very quiet but lovely, which is nice to know.

My mother met Jimmy Savile in her teens. The only thing she ever said about it was 'he is a very creepy man'....

I saw Johnny Vegas having a drink on the street outside a pub in Ireland one time (it was during a comedy festival, and all the pubs were jammed) and I decided, in my own tipsy state, to tell how how disappointed I had been to miss seeing his show as all his gigs at the festival were already sold out.
He bought me a beer, and did half his routine on the street for me and my friends and hung out with us for the night. He was an absolute sweetheart. And bloody hilarious.

Michael Hutchence kept catching my eye and giving me a rather naughty suggestive smile and squeezed past me and said hello

Ok he was eyeing up most young women that were within his eyesight

Kylie looked on edge now I feel quite sorry for her she was draping herself across him

Sat with Harry Redknapp for a Sunday roast. It came about after DH got talking to him as he is west hams biggest fan

I once had a phone conversation with Stephen Gately and he was an absolute sweetheart, gracious, polite and was genuinely interested in what I was saying. I was never a Boyzone fan but I admit I cried when I heard he died, he was just such a lovely, lovely man.

Warwick Davis did the whole 'no, please, you first' at me through a door, such a gentleman.

Corey Taylor from Slipknot/Stone Sour bought me a drink at one of his gigs in Bristol, and told me I had great tits. In his defense, he's so short, they were probably all he could see

I told Neil Gaiman that his hair needed a bloody good wash.

My ex fiancee is from this very small picturesque sea side town in Nova Scotia, Canada. Lots of celebs stay/live or film there so I've seen Sean Penn, Liz Hurley, Jude Law and a couple others.

The best though, is one day we were walking down by the shore, and this guy was walking towards us. He was thin, short, reddish-brown hair and beard, wearing a plaid shirt and tight jeans with a big belt buckle. He looked exactly like Chuck Norris. So I nudge my fiancee and whisper "look it's Walker Texas Ranger" and I start pretending to do high kicks and laughing (after he'd passed), I look behind me after I did a few and he was standing their glaring at me with this really pissed off look on his face. I obviously offended him so we scurried away.

The next day, on the front page of the paper (yes this is a REALLY small village) there was an article about how Chuck Norris was staying in the town at the hotel we were walking in front of.......

So I made fun of Chuck Norris to his face and lived to tell the tale.

I dated an ex Big Brother housemate. Although the term "celebrity" is a bit loose there. 😂

Saw Dave Berry walking in Leicester square. My friend shouted "look! It's Dave Berry!" He put his head down and literally ran off. 😂

Just let out a huge laugh at taking the piss out of Chuck Norris and living to tell the tale brilliant!!!

I've mentioned this a million times already both on here and in RL

But Jimmy Carr likes my hair and made a joke about us having a one night stand as I was pregnant. He was so lovely and made such an effort to chat despite me being quite shy
I will be seeing him again in June and I can't wait!

Love reading this thread!

I sat on Gary Glitter's knee in the seventies when he was dressed as The Incredible Hulk at a show my mum took me to. I've got the photo somewhere .

I slow danced (back in the day) with Stephen Tomkinson after he asked me to dance in a nightclub about 17 years ago.

I was working at a charity magazine launch in London (about 10 years ago now) where various (d-list) celebs were mingling, including Darren Day. After the party myself and two work colleagues went back to the hotel room we were sharing nearby, and settled down to sleep. About half an hour after we had turned the lights off the door to our room burst open and it was Darren Day (drunk methinks) with a lady-friend. They scanned the room, realised it was occupied and that they had the wrong room, and stumbled back out again giggling. Sadly my two colleagues were asleep by then and missed it. I have never ever trusted those door-card swipe things in hotels since. It's not the only time a total stranger has accidentally entered a hotel room where I've been staying, I've never felt secure in hotel rooms again because of it.

Was at a show in Las Vegas and hulk hogan walked in front of me with his daughter, no words exchanged though.
And bumped into the magician Dynamo and got a picture with him.
My father in law has a good one, he walked into Clint Eastwood at a golf place, and had to apologise!

I used to run events at an arts centre, so met a lot of well-known writers.

A friendship means that I quite often run into a Game of Thrones actor.

My DH and I drunkenly stumbled into a group of men in a lift at a fancy hotel in the ME. Turned out to be half of AC Milan. Kaka, Beckham, Ronadldhino....
