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.

2 very outing ones:
Years ago my brother was playing pool in a bar and I squeezed the bum of his opponent to try and put him off, my brother went white, pulled me to one side and told me it was Dennis Wise, captain of Chelsea football club at the time!

More recently, I work for a dog food company that had a “Santa’s Grotto” for dogs one year. I was “Santa Paws” when Robbie Williams came in with his family and 3 dogs, so I am now in his family photo album with his dogs and daughter sitting on my knee!

I've also been at a VIP only parties with Robbie Williams and his wife, Ant and Dec, various members of Queen, Antony from Blue, Arlene Phillips, Chesney from Corrie and various Z Listers.

I attended a kids event and stood chatting to a couple and he was a premiership footballer.

Oh and met Sir Ian McKellen at work but he was a total sweetheart.

A rather eclectic collection of bizarre claims to fame.

A friend and I were asked to dinner by Todd Carty (post-Tucker's Luck, pre-EastEnders) and his manager after they started chatting to us in a London pub. We turned them down because we were about 18 at the time and, quite frankly, terrified.

When I worked in retail, an older colleague of mine was best friends with Adam Clayton of U2's mum, and brought her in once to meet me.

Lemmy (RIP) once grabbed and snogged me in the nightclub where my cousin's band were performing. I just staggered off to tell everyone; these days I'd have whacked him round the chops.

My husband recently installed a door at Gordon Ramsay's house. Our subsequent conversation was frustrating: What was the house like? Fine. Bet he had a nice kitchen? Yeah, it was OK. Did you see his wife at all? I don't know, there were a few people knocking about etc etc.

My husband and I used to live in Bonnie Tyler’s best friends pool house and we conceived our son there

When Les Dennis and Amanda Holden split, he went to live with his sister who lived just by our sixth form. We used to see him most lunchtimes by the Spar shop and we would follow him making the Family Fortunes noise (when somebody got an answer wrong)

Went to a Christmas party at No 10 years ago and the then PM wanders over for a chat. All I couldthink to say was where's the cat? I wanted to meet the cat and he replied no-one is interested in me, everyone asks about the cat

Not too long ago I was filling up my car and Rag n Bone Man was at the pump next to me. He comes from the same town that I grew up in.

my uncle who passed away a couple of years ago was a radio 2 DJ
I didn't really appreciate it as a child and felt embarrassed

Used to peer though the fence at Alvin Stardust sunbathing in his garden.
Was driving Gordon Strachen's car years ago and a young lad drove past and knocked the wing mirror off.

Worked a couple of times for a famous cricketer

Usually pretend I don't recognise anyone on tv if I see them locally. Corrie land :)

Enjoying this thread! Didn't think I had anything to add, but...

Once sat next to Nigella Lawson in a restaurant. She was petite, beautiful and put ice in her white wine.

Met a few sports people through work - Gabby Logan was nice, spoke about her children a lot. Had lunch with Sol Campbell once and that was weird.

Walked past Sir Michael Caine outside Borough Market a couple of weeks ago and he was complaining to his companion for taking too long to park the car. He seemed quite cross about it

I got Wolf from Gladiators autograph when I was about 6 after watching him in panto! I was genuinely terrified the entire time he was stood in front of me 😂

Then when I was about 14 I went to a dance weekend in London where I was taking part in a Latin class taught by Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag, Anton complimented me on my purple glittery legwarmers as he walked in and I was then too starstruck to concentrate properly and as a result that is my only memory of the entire weekend even though I'd saved up a small fortune for a whole weekend filled with equally exciting opportunities!

I'm now in my late twenties and life is much less glamorous now I've hung up the legwarmers wistful stare back to my youth

@mimosaadorna I've heard many stories like that about the police. How horrid for you.

I turned up with my parents at my sister's in London for a late Christmas Day lunch expecting just her and her DH, but Goldie was there too. It was just after Timeless was released and we all thought he was a genius.

Later in the evening I had to leave them all playing some fun game, to go to my boyfriend's family. I was a bit gutted!

Alan Rickman introduced himself to me. Of course I knew who he was. What a lovely, lovely man!

And Emma Thompson's Mum - Phyllida Law - after we spent the night snowed in at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. She was marvellous! I remember her clearing tables with a tea towell chucked over one shoulder and just being bloody brilliant, talking to people who couldn't get home. Just brilliant. She was fabulous!!

Just a couple of minor ones. Telling off a very drunk Liz Dawn and friends for interrupting our meal, they didn't take it very well. Waking up from a drunken nap on the train to find myself opposite Tony Benn, I apologised!

My ex DP was the stunt man for an Cadbury's advert

I snogged (and a bit more) Glen Hoddle's step son on holiday once.

Family friend is a currently world famous golf pro.

Shagged the bloke who plays an instrument in Hawkwind a few times as a teen.

On the first ever Children in Need TV programme they asked you to phone in and pledge money. My youngest sister age about 13 at the time phoned up and pledged £5 if Terry Wogan would show us his knees.
However she gave my name and it was announced on the programme! Terry duly showed his knees and this started a spate of calls with Terry taking off his trousers and Joanna Lumley stripping off down to her underwear!
My mother was so annoyed that neither of us would pay the £5, she went to the post office to pay herself.

We were on a flight back from Majorca with Peaches Geldofs widower and the two boys. He seemed pretty sweet and he certainly had his hands full with those gorgeous little boys.

I worked at a very busy motorway service station, Marco PW was an absolute plonker. Craig Revel Horwood was such a nice person, stopped n chatted with everyone😎Michael Buble, just as nice. Scouting for Girls.....again they were great. Shared a lift with Princess Michael of Kent and her bodyguards in Kensington 1980’s (she had a serious attitude problem). Met the Queen at a Passing Out Parade😎. Met Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Lenny Henry, whilst working in hospitality just as funny in real life.

A friend used to sit behind Rachel Riley in maths lectures.

my borther is in the film Notting Hill.
He was living there at the time, and lots of the extras are Notting Hill locals.
You know the scene where they opent he door and there are 5 millions press standing outside? One of those press people is my brother!

One of my DC is a previous CITV Share a a story winner. My leg was broadcast on CITV for the whole of......Idk.......possibly 2 seconds.

I have a weird one. Was on a train with 16 year old DD - who said 'if I ever had surgery I'd have my feet done; they're ugly as sin'. Looked at this familiar looking guy opposite who was smirking at this comment, as I was. Got off the train, realised who he was - a familiar from the twilight saga amongst others, a pretty big name. So being nosey I look him up on twitter where he's written 'just overheard the weirdest conversation on the train...(& thus repeated what my DD had said.)...'
That was pretty random.
My father in law also worked for the Richardson Brothers at one time. He has some stories about some nasty things that involves teeth & a ratchet.
I also have a dog salon & have 2 well known tv customers & had no clue until another customer pointed it out.
I was propositioned by the lead singer of the Stranglers once years ago & sat chatting to the lead singer of the band Reef at a party once a long time ago- had no idea who he was until after. But he was nice anyway.

I loved culture club back in the day and my family and I were in a pub in London and Jon Moss was there. I was about 14 and my 6 year old sister went up to Jon and said my sister fancies you. He looked round and gave me a smile. I was mortified!

George Lazenby popped his head through my kitchen window (it was open) and asked for an axe.....

In the '90's I lived in New York and dated a very famous actors, I even lived in his loft for a few months.
