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.

@Threeminis - indeed he is!

DM once sang at the same wedding where Annie Lennox's mother was singing. Annie's mum gave DM some tips about singing in public and was lovely, DM said.

My MIL did the catering for Brain May and Anita Dobson’s wedding! She ran a small catering business back in the day and often catered for 100 or so people, but not posh at all. It was at their house in SW London. Thing was she didn’t even know properly who they were. All she could really say about it was that they both had big hair and she thought there were lots of famous people there she has no idea about. Apparently her waitresses were getting distracted and she has to tell them off and get them to concentrate on the job. What a waste! We did ask her if Freddie Mercury was there but her response was, ‘Who is that?’. After internet investigation we worked out he wasn’t there.

Yeah that’s reminded me, our wedding night bed was once slept in by Catherine Zeta Jones and her fella whatshisface

DH goes to the gym with the brother of a famous comedian.

the Queen bought me a curly wirly

How? I thought she never carried cash.

I've done Bikram Yoga next to Goldie a lot. And less frequently next to a woman who was crowned 'Hard Core Porn Star' of the year for a number of years running.

Ive also handed Robson Green a Yoghurt from the top shelf of the Sainsbury's I worked in as a teen (it was toffee flavour... who the fuck eats toffee flavour yoghurt?)

Made the daily mail! 😂

I once almost ran Cliff Richard over with a rubbish trolley at Wimbledon

I was in audience on TOTP and was in 1st shot with the 2 DJs -looking like a total nob-

My dad has a signed Christmas card and letter from Myra Hindley

We went to a children's Christmas party at 10 Downing Street a few years ago and I had to stop my (severely disabled) DS from calling David Cameron a twat when we met him.

When DS1 was a baby we went swimming to our local pool. We had the baby pool all to ourselves when another couple joined us with their baby. We chatted away about our babies, as much as we could due to English not being their first language. It was only when they got out of the pool and the staff were looking very excited that we found out who they were. The man was Tore Andre Flo who (at the time) played for Chelsea FC.

ooh, also served Daly Thompson when barmaid at same Wimbledon

And my mum was best mates with the Edge's mum at uni (before Edge was born obviously)! Glad Fail has been done as all these facts all put together v outing!!

my mum was at the airport when the England football team came back from 1990 world cup, Gazza patted her on the head

David Coulthard former F1 driver rang me at home to thank me for something

another F1 driver signed a pair of my knickers sexy ones not like the granny ones I wear these days

Lol the fail article is hilarious. MAJOR errors in it from not fact checking.

You mean the Fail ever fact check?

Someone in my husband’s family occasionally has David Attenborough round for dinner!

Also, I share a (very distant) grandfather with Kit Harrington.

I was in a queue in a coffee shop and saw someone I recognised, someone I was at uni with, I couldnt remember her name, started chatting about the job, how much it had changed in the years since we had qualified, oblivious to the confusion on her face, with my take away in hand and a cheery bye I walked out, trying to remember her name. I finally did, she was an actress who played a role that happened to be my profession

I served Eddie Izzard in a bar once. Oh, and I stood next to one of the doctors from 24 hours in A&E at a gig. I'm a HCP and have seen loads of HCPs I know on TV before in various documentaries but I don't actually know this dr and had to keep hissing at DH to not let me get drunk and start talking to her as if I know her just because I recognised her.

Back in the 80s I was on a romantic weekend in London with a boyfriend and he took me to
The Red Fort curry place in Soho. It was all dimly lit, romantic and not too busy.

Then the whole of Slade walked in and sat on the table right next to us. Banquettes lined the walls, and Noddy Holder sat right next to me, put his hand on my knee and chatted me up for the rest of the evening!

My boyfriend thought it was hilarious as to us they all seemed like old men, but looking up their ages now, they would only have been in their late 30s then!

I once kissed a good friend of Prince Harry's at a Party

My Husbands cousin used to date one of Paul McCartneys daughters ex-husbands

My Dad was best friends as a kid with Gary Linekars brother and they sometimes played football with Gary

My Godmother's uncle formed the SAS.

I was at a Gig and a very tall black man stood infront of me blocking my view so I asked him to move.. he did and appeared on stage not long after...he was the support act..Skepta apparently!!

All very tenuous Haha!

I slept with a person who presents channels 4s “four rooms”, and is a gallerist and club owner. I sat in a bar with Paula Yates, holding tiger lily Yates on My lap once, and I got beaten up by Naomi Campbell ( and had a 10yr court case after). . Oh, and when I was 17, a friend and I met David Bowie in south molten st when we bunked off school one afternoon. All true, including 10 years in court. 😕😕😕😕

TimTamTwat I also once spent Christmas Day with Goldie back in the mid-90s. He was a close friend of my BIL at the time and came over to their house for Christmas dinner. Very charming!

@mimosaadorna Gosh that's awful - she was in the papers a lot for that. Are you the assistant she assaulted with a phone?

She looks mad as a March hair now...

I went to school with a mildly famous soap actress who always said she was going to be very very famous when she was older. She was a spiteful bitch and a bully and I did laugh when I saw her bit-part on Corrie! Hollywood it ain't.

I once had lunch with Pat from Eastenders and Richard Branson’s parents - at the same time!

I was staying in a hotel for work and went out to my car where I saw some bastard has smashed my windshield. In a royal temper, I stomped back in and properly slammed the door in someone's face in a rage as we both got to the door at the same time. It was Alan shearer and I almost took his face off. Sorry Alan.
