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 got my cat off Joe Swash’s sister

Placemarking. Shamelessly. Still deciding which to share.

Oooh another I just remembered...

I'm not naming any names but I have the virginity of someone who is pretty successful musically. He is a solo artist who plays guitar and sings, and the biggest event he's played at is Glastonbury. It's something I'd prefer to forget actually, he used to drool whenever he came and it was a bit disgusting.

I was very nearly run over by condoleeza rice.

kilgrave that sounds weirdly sinister. Like you keep his virginity in a jar or something

I've slept with someone whose dad played the bagpipes for the royal family.

When I was a teen my Mum and I would go to London once a year for a little break. One year we were wandering around Camden Market, the Stables bit, and Mum stopped to admire a table. Bored, I looked around and saw the stall owner perched on a chair. It was Chris Evans. He was recently split from Billie Piper and selling all their stuff!

Whilst at uni in London I went to a house party where Bradley from S Club 7 inexplicably showed up. He got the hump with me trying to get a selfie with him in the background and sent a mate over to tell me to stop taking photos. He then left when everyone started loudly making S Club puns. He was an arse and I still don’t know why he was there.

Ds used to work with Cherie Blair, he would get an Xmas card each year from Tony and Cherie.
He then went on to work with Amal Clooney.
He says they are both extremely nice women.

My cousin is friends with Mel B and when I was 18 i baby sat Phoenix, lost her shoe when I took her out...whoops

I answered the phone to Mick Jagger once. He said "Hello, is X there?", I said "Who's speaking?" and he said "It's Mick". And indeed it was Mick. If that's not a tenuous claim to fame then I don't know what is.

@redannie118, he is such a nice guy and northumberland is such a nice place. Though he was mildly horrified that I knew him from The Full Monty and not any of his other work while being under 12

@cheesenpickles, I don't think I'd of been that calm had I seen Brian May. My dad brought me up worshipping queen so I'd probably turn to jelly and there would only be my british sense of not inconveniencing him stopping me from saying hello and asking for an autograph.

John Hannah took me out for lunch once.

Cherie Blair gave my mum one of her old coats.

John Noakes used to live round the corner from me and he was grumpy as fuck.

Bamber Gasgoigne stopped me from stepping out in front of a car at some traffic lights ( my mum is particularly fond of this claim to fame for some Reason- it properly tickles her.)

I used to go to the house of a Rolling Stone quite regularly - often lots of celebs knocking about and a box full of naughty substances in a coffee table in the living room.

Richard Attenborough pinched my bum

Richard Ashcroft did finger guns at me on two different occasions. But he was a nob, so there you go.

Ran after Peter Sallis when he forgot his umbrella

There's loads more, I'll have a think.

We have 2 ex-England rugby players from our home town who we see around a lot. One of them was waiting for his children (who attend a local private school) who were at a laser party. The yr 6 boys from our party group (from local village school) recognised him as a rugby player. One of our dads recognised him and chatted to him as though they were great mates as he thought he recognised him as one of the dads from our school!

Went to school with two famous actors and a tv personality/academic.
Bumped into ( literally) Tony Blair and Angela Merkle. I was on my way back from the gym.

Many years ago while working in a bar I served drinks to the majority of the Manchester United team, they were all very chatty and polite, their ‘wags’ were not and left loads of mess after they left.

My dad was an extra in Sky One's Dream Team.

I met Anthony who won Big Brother on my hen night.

When I was in primary school the Big Breakfast came to our street and we all got to be on tv.

I met The Wiggles in George Square in Glasgow. They were so friendly and my little boy was star struck 🤩!

Most recently my daughter danced at an event where Stacy Solomon was a guest. She was so lovely and stood for ages posing for photos and chatting with all the girls.

Wow I didn't realise I had so many!

I had Marti Pellow kicked out of the posh hotel bar I was working in for being drunk and abusive to the other guests.

I cleaned Boyzone's hotel rooms. Ronan's girlfriend was a complete bitch and accused me of "raking through their room". errr, I was cleaning the bathroom, that's my job. She got really pissed off when I pretended I had no idea who they were 😂😂

Ran the kids club at the posh hotel and when we were in the pool, the young royal princes came in to swim. Managers were going all panicky, telling me I had to make sure I kept the kids calm. They had no idea who these boys were and the Princes themselves were having a whale of a time joining in our pool games.

When I was quite young visiting an aging great great aunt a teenage prince Harry taught me how to give someone a wet willy and then he was told off because I did it to prince Charles.

I somehow ended up at an all night party in a student house in Manchester. The neighbours came round in the early hours. I assumed to complain. Nope. To join in. It was the chemical brothers.

I don’t remember much, about then night but they seemed nice enough.

Also, my FIL was in the school band with Annie Lennox and is in one of the pictures in her book.

Also, my best childhood friend works at the BBC and met the guy who played Bruno's father in Roald Dahl's 'The Witches'. She got him to record a message for us as it had been one of our favourite films. He did it no problem and she said he was lovely!

Same friend had a student summer job cleaning a hotel and cleaned Jason Donovan's room. He was in it at the time. Said he was ok but the meeting wasn't nearly as exciting as her 8 year old self thought it would be!

My PIL met the Beetles in Blackpool the year before they hit the big time. They started chatting with them on the sea front and ended up having a cup of tea and a chat in a cafe. They invited PIL to their gig that night but PIL turned them down! PIL Have kicked themselves ever since

David Bellamy ? Is that someone or have I got the name wrong nearly ran my mum over in a very posh car

I put Humpty Dumpty (AKA Matthew Kelly) together again during a game for a laugh Christmas Special

Oh and I once got bashed into by Jude Law wielding a shopping basket (as he and Sienna Miller were arguing their way round the fruit and veg section of the local Sainsbury's)
