Your most bizarre claim to fame story

[cheesenpickles]

So, I haven't slept with MH or anybody remotely famous, but have plenty of bizarre claim to fame stories (of my own and family/friends).

My two faves are that Florence Welch ran over my foot with her bicycle and broke my toe. I don't think she realised but she was gigging back in the day and had cycled to the venue (where I worked). She jumped on her bike to push it out of the office and ride home and went straight over my foot, snapping my toe on my left foot.

My darling sil, who is quite the character was in the company of some top music people, drank too much wine at an album party, started dancing and launched her shoe accidentally in her vigour smacking old Sir BG right in the chops apparently. She then repeated said move at my wedding and smashed a load of wine glasses. She's a good 20 years my senior.

C'mon now spill.

I ate Chinese takeaway backstage with the Cure in the 80s when they were really famous.

My mother dated Jimmy saville's brother.

I've sat next to Paloma Faith and Jim Broadbent in restaurants and more weirdly Shane McGowan and Nick Cave were on the next table to me with a large entourage in a gastro pub. Shane McGowan was practically horizontal by the end of the meal and had to be helped to the door as he staggered out.

I saw Helena Bonham Carter and her kids drop an ice cream on the pavement in the summer. Chatted to Terry Jones (Monty Python) about his dog one day on Hampstead Heath. I've had lunch with Esther Rantzen at her house.

I was asked out by a number of stand up comedians in the 80s - one who went on the play Wembley. I thought he was a bit of a twat - I think I was wrong.

My relative has been to the Oscars, Same relative has met and entertained royalty
I am not posh in the slightest and neither is he though he thinks he is
My friend is a relative of a famous emmy winning actor.
Loads of sporty ones... some a bit outing though so wont disclose apart from these...
Bernard la porte( french rugby coach) once watched my team train while he was on the running machine, weeel i think he was watching us anyway..

OH has met/spent the day with Carl Hayman (NZ prop), lovely bloke, massive, borrowed Oh’s gun which pleased OH a LOT
He has also played against a few retired rugby stars
Once held a pony and spoke to princess anne AT THE SAME TIME

I was in a documentary for The Stone Roses which was released on DVD and shown in some cinemas. I'm on the documentary twice actually.

I was (badly) reversing into a parking space at side of a road in suburbia, and realised there was a man very theatrically waving his arms mime artist style to stop, carry on, etc. He was being helpful. When I got out I saw it was Leo Sayer. All the big movements made sense as it's what he does when performing.
Met Gary Numan at a Toyah concert, just in the crowd. He was pointing at me and called me a Granny Person as I had a noticeable white streak in my black hair. He was very nice.
Went round to Rat Scabies house (of the Damned fame), as my then boyfriend knew him. Had a cup of tea. He was funny.

I have met Steve-o from Jackass.

My friend broke her virginity with a famous footballer.

Spit the Dog's granny lived on our street. (Bob Caeol Gee's mum).

I have such a boring life and meet nobody remotely famous!

Oh, my sister was on the last series of one born every minute!
Does that count?

I went arse over tit infront of Ant & Dec. They laughed at me so I told them to fuck off.
True story. It was at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party in 1997

I served Suzi Quatro in a shop once, she was tiny and very rude.

My friend's mum is friends with Pixie Lott's mum

My mum served fish and chips to Geoff Hurst

I walked past Andrew Whyment (Kirk from Corrie) at Butlins

Oh!! And I matched on Tinder with someone who was on BGT

NC as this will out me

Sarah Ferguson taught me how to do arm exercises in the bar at a Charity Golf do and the Queen bought me a curly wirly (I kid you not!!!)

All of mine are via DH

He lived close to a film studio and served loads of famous people from Bond films.

He lived a couple of doors away from Barbara Windsor, she would go around the village in a headscarf and dark glasses. It was a shit disguise.

One of the 70s band Sweet was his drinking buddy for a little while.

My brother met slade several times (early 70’s) they used to practice in a local church hall with teenagers watching them 🙂 deepest Black Country obviously

Lenny Henry and Pato Banton went to my old college 😁 before and after my time 😂😂😂

My mom knew Audrey from corrie’s parents. Think they ran a pub in moms hometown - again deepest Black Country.

My mom met Frank Skinners brother when he did some work at the school she worked in (he was an electrician I think)

Mummymummums, I've got a Leo Sayer one as well! At one stage I thought he was stalking me! In the space of about 4 months I saw him 3 separate times in completely different places, including in the street outside my Mum and Dad's apartment in Tenerife. I had a similar experience with Mick Hucknell and kept seeing him around, my stupidly curly hair means other curlies always check me out. (I'm sure anyone with really curly hair recognises this as a thing?!)

There's loads, because of my past employment in the music scene. But it's really outing for me, and I reckon mainstream people wouldn't have a clue who I was talking about.

So here's a different one:

I lived in South Wales in the valleys and was out geocaching when I drive across the set of Stella (Ruth Jones, the last behind Gavin and Stacy). I stayed to watch them filming, and a woman got chatting to me because she could see from my outfit that I was into a band she was huge into. Turns out it's her house they're filming in. I said I had to go because I needed the loo and she said to go in and use hers. We went in from the back as they were filming by the front door. I peed as quietly as possible, and got to watch one of the main characters (Bobby?) coming in and out of the front door. I'm a huge Ruth Jones fan so I was mega happy.

Ooh I almost forgot! I used to sing in a church choir with the mom of Alvin Stardust’s manager 😁 Alvin used to come to our town on occasion and do appearances at the local nite spots 😂😂😂

And Nerys Hughes FIL lived about 6 doors down from my mom.

My mum was an extra in the first Tenko. We lived in Singapore. I was able to finish school early and go and watch filming and got the autographs of the ‘stars’.
Jimmy Osmond once waved at me.
And waitressing at a posh wedding I had to step over a very drunk and very young Prince Harry.

My ex-bf worked in the coop near where Nicholas Lyndhurst lived. He's come in with sunglasses and pretend to have an American accent yet someone would always make a plonker comment and he would get crossed.

I also followed Brian May around a mini Tesco once.

I lap dances for joe mangel from neighbours and he called me a spunk

Dane bowers chatted me up in Tenerife.
I gave mark Morrison a lap dance (he was a prick!)

Also gave Princess Alexandra a bunch of flowers when I was a little girl

My dh is cousin's with an ex footballer turned preacher.
He is also related to Anne Boleyn...
