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.

Went to the Polo at Guards a few years back & got absolutely sloshed. I was stumbling back to the car (don’t worry I wasn’t driving) and I heard a car repeatedly beeping at me. I was in fact walking in the road and right in front of Prince Charles who had tried but failed to manoeuvre safely around me 🙄 he was literally waving me to the side. Ooops! 😂

Orlando bloom put a dead spider down my back when we were at school (we were about 5 at the time).

I went to school with someone who went on to be be in Emmerdale and Hollyoakes.

The man who lived upstairs in my work office starred in an episode of Only fools and horses and is in the first five minutes of Indian Jones and the temple of doom

My husband was in the army with an officer who was going out with one of pans people, that's why they did a show once wearing camouflaged outfits.
Some time ago our family doctor in London was Kate Bushes dad, really nice man with a ginger beard.

I watched something on Netflix last year and recognised a guy that I’d met and got pissed with at a friends party a couple of times many years ago, turns out it was Damian Hurst

Jamie Dornan's dad was the first person to ever hold me - delivered me in the Royal Hospital

More recently - Jamie Dornan's dad shoved a speculum into me

I'm so glad that Alan Cumming is lovely. I adore him and love him deeply in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

after my divorce when I was in my mid 30's I went a bit wild, and had a filthy weekend in a very nice hotel with the 21 year old son of a very well known in New Zealand high court judge. The son had been in the papers in the UK for something he had done at uni awesome sex

I once gave John Terry ( the footballer ) the wanker sign when he was driving his car behind mine on the motorway. It was just after he had a young female shop assistant in tears with his egotistical nastiness.

I managed to ruin the filming of an outdoor shoot of Emmerdale by barging through it.

I told Richard Whiteley , the late countdown presenter that he was a miserable twat. ( when he was still alive obviously )

I have a couple!

I sang on stage with Gary Barlow at Wembley in the early 2000s

Ed Sheeran slept in my mum's bed (not whilst she was in it though!) and he caught me and my boyfriend googling him

Chris Eubank asked me for my phone number whilst he was in a remote control vehicle shop trying to haggle on fixed priced items

I went to school with Molly from The Saturdays

I was on the news show look north being interviewed outside a butchers, talking about Lincolnshire sausages 😂

Real life TV star right here

I was at a party for a British director because I knew a relative of his. So, I met him, who I'm not naming and his now wife who was more famous then. She was okay, he was lovely. Ben Elton wanted to introduce me to his friends because they all liked my tattoo. Friends: Dawn French is horrid. Lenny Henry had a bit of a cob on, but he was very nice and massively big. To be fair, DF might have been funny with me because I looked like the sort of woman he'd be after because years later when they split up his new girlfriend looked quite similar to how I'd looked then. Caroline Quentin, not particularly nice, but not an awful person by any stretch of the imagination. Paul Merton, top bloke we got royally drunk together. The reverend Richard Coles who was studying theology at the time was an absolute sweetheart.

There have been others that don't come to mind because they were on a far lesser scale than those. Oh and Gary Kemp off of Spandau Ballet tried to get off with me once in a pub in Islington. Him, Tony Hadley and gorgeous Martin Kemp were also there. I wasn't interested and all my friends were both jealous, like whatever, and mystified that I didn't go for it. I'm quite proud that I wasn't a total groupie back then, although it would have been a good story to tell. Many years later I did have sexual relations with a semi-famous Canadian comedian. I got bored half way through and went to bed leaving him to sleep on the sofa.

Someone close to me is Sir Mark Rylance's (actor) postman. Mark has a dog that escapes the front door every time he opens it to sign for something.

I have helped various slebs buy tickets or get directions on the Underground. (18 years working on Tube stations). Roy Hodgson once discussed England's chances with a colleague when he was the manager at Knightsbridge. Another colleague helped Hugh Grant and his little boy through the barrier. On social media I once saw a different colleague again in a selfie with Joanna Lumley and Robert Lyndsey as they made their way to a nearby theatre to rehearse a play.

I knocked Davina Macall off the path into the road whilst she was filming Streetmate as I didn't see her because I was too busy eyeing up the cameraman!! I also met Mark Owen from Take That at Cotswold Wildlife Park as my kids were playing with his kids in the playground. As a lifelong TT fan, I was in awe but he was completely down to earth and chatty, such a lovely bloke

My dad is cousins with a footballer and his uncle used to be a football manager (cousins name is Adam but can't remember the last name as they're not close so dad doesn't mention it).
My gran and Robert Carlisle are cousins.
My grandad signed a record deal in the late 70's and was due to release a single but backed out as his 2nd (maybe 3rd) wife had just had a kid and he had 3 by that point and didn't want to be away from his family.... he went on to sing in a local place weekly and was married a total of 6 times.

I once met mis teeq (alisha dixon) in a local shopping centre while performing with my school choir. I was standing by one of the restaurants where they were eating and she came over and put £20 in the tub for charity as it was all the cash she had.

My sister met Nicola sturgeon as she was part of a youth group that secured a £20,000 grant for the local area to be improved and had to pitch the idea and reasoning to a load of mps and big wigs when she was 15.

I think that's about it... none all that interesting lol.

I have 2!

I had a ‘you first, no you first’ situation a few years back, whilst jogging in St James's Park with David Cameron (and his 6 minders!)

I noticed a mistake in the newest book by one of my favourite authors, so emailed him to ask about it. He responded and was surprised no one had noticed it before as it was a critical point in the story! It was subsequently changed, and I got a (very minor only mentioned once) character named after me in his next book!

I am a rather poor single Mum in London but through a childhood friend who was a model I ended up in a liason with a very very famous Hollywood/French actress. She was nuts, controlling, wild and fickle. She just stopped talking to me one day. Was 5 years ago laugh to myself whenever I see her picture.

Half-blood that's so cool!

On my kids life true

100% true, my hubby even saved the cake Kate made so I could taste it

I once was a nanny to all of the Duran Duran’s kids and knew the band was going to come back before anyone else

Adamant’s parents used to live next to the cemetery my brother is buried in, they would make my parents a cup of tea when they were visiting the grave and have a little chat with them, Adam (Stuart!) was there a couple of times and said hi!

My 2 year old charge had seen men in dressing gowns (sumo wrestlers, doing shows in the Royal Albert hall) on Kensington high street so when we got home, I showed him it on tv. A couple of days later in the park he was doing the crouching and swaying from side to side, I told him to be careful as a jogger was coming towards us, he swung around and said what? right in the path of said jogger who did some kind of barrel role over the top of my charge, scooping him up as he did so and both of them ending up on their feet, jogger was Jason Donavon. Nick Berry lived 6 doors down from us at that time and Bryan Ferry lend me a ladder when I locked myself out, I had no idea who he was, my boss told me when he got home from returning the ladder, he was apaulled I had no idea who BF was!

Are ANY of these people famous internationally?

An ex-Prime Minister’s wife goes to the same gym as me. That’s the best I can do😂

A guy from Grange Hill (I think) who later became a singer and then actor again accidentally stood on my foot and broke my toe at a radio one roadshow.

My Dad worked with the Dad of a very big pop band star.

I've worked with an ex Iconic soap star who was a complete sleeze ball.

Just 2 little ones here, about 15 years ago me, my sister and our 2 dcs were at gatwick airport and saw dennis waterman, we sent the dcs to get his autograph, he was very sweet about it.
And about 7 years ago dh and I were having a sneaky cig outside St Pancras station when Matthew Horne (wearing sun glasses) walked by with a girl. Dh recognised him so nudged me and both said "alright" how he says it on the Catherine tate show!
