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.

Littlebird88 your uncle wasn’t Sir Terry Wogan, was he?

I loved him.

I hung out will bill baily in a Malaysian jungle 😁

I once saw Tony Heart in a cafe near Pichlochry.

The week before Princess Catherine gave birth to George her obstetrician delivered my baby using forceps. He was very posh (the doc, not my son!) but I was on NHS ward.

I once got off with a member of the Backstreet Boys.

I’ve shook hands with Barack Obama, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton and Angela Merkel.

I have interviewed Billie Piper, Richard Blackwood and Five, and the woman who plays Roxy in EastEnders when she was previously in a girl band... roughly 15 years ago! Felt so bizarre at the time

I saw Robbie Savage outside Sainsbury's once.

My dad built a bespoke trailer for the actor who played "Jaws" in the James Bond films.

I used to dog-sit (and walk) Goldie the dog from Blue Peter

Bruce Dickinson (from Iron Maiden) scared off a man who was trying to rob me in Derby city centre and then paid for my taxi home ♥️

Ooh. And I was on Mallet's Mallet

Michael Gambon is a neighbour. He’s a lovely man!

Almost walked into Eddie Izzard on the street once, we managed to avoid a clash. He was seriously made up to the nines and had huge heels on.

My sister worked behind the scenes at a Radio gig and met Take That - she said Robbie was nice and very chatty, the rest were a bit aloof.

An elderly relation used to have the Richardsons visit her for “protection” - ie extort cash.

My grandad gave a “backie” on his motorbike to T E Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia).

My dad was once a roadie for Frank Zappa.

My uncle used to be a bus driver and used to drive Sheridan Smith to school.

June Brown of Eastenders Dot Cotton fame once commented positively on the size of my exdp’s penis.

@Houseofhistory I think I know who that is, initials S.M?
@Pashal2 My DHs ones, I think the song was a hit in Europe at the time as it was a big club anthem. The ex girlfriend before me was known in her circles in the UK and briefly the US.

Babysat Dave Arch (off Strictly) and his brother; also performed a private school concert for Brian May!

Got such a filthy look off Richard Whiteley as I walked towards him. Presume he thought I was going to bother him, which I certainly was not.

Was in the queue behind Debbie Magee in Sainsburys while she was in Strictly. She is tiny.

Passed Jimmy Carr in the street. He is tiny too.

Spotted Miriam Margolees rushing back into the theatre.

Trevor Eve passed me on the river side while filming in my town. I said 'Alright Trev, nice day'. He said, lovely yes.

As a teen was asked back to his hotel room by Brian Connelly of The Sweet. I knew he only wanted a shag. I declined.

I sat next to a famous English cricketer at the theatre. Can't for the life of me remember his name. He had the most annoying laugh ever.

Don't have any royalty stories, I have led a sheltered life.

When I was staying in a hostel in London as a teenager in the 1980s, someone brought a very well known writer back, who I’d never heard of at the time lecherous old goat, fifty-something. Hearing me telling a friend I was thinking of bunking off work that day, he insisted on calling my boss for me, pretending to be my dad. I quickly left while he was still on the phone.... (gave me the creeps.)

In the early 90s, a friend and neighbour babysat my DS aged 2 at her house one evening. Unbeknown to me at the time, her husband had a slightly unethical attitude towards business matters was a right bloody crook/jail bird and was a mate of reformed criminal Jon McVicar. When we picked ds up, she told me JV had read him a bedtime story

My mum's uncle threw Douglas Bader's legs out of a plane.

I gave Princess Beatrice a polo lesson. She was really shy.

I was looking for my boss's house in Sussex,got lost and drove on to Julie Walters drive. She kindly gave me directions.

I used to go to Justin Fletches house to visit his two sisters.

Was a nanny for a family who's father worked behind the scenes on movies. Walked into the kitchen and Johnny Depp was making breakfast.

Orlando Bloom dated my boss's sister. He would visit my workplace often.

June Brown of Eastenders Dot Cotton fame once commented positively on the size of my exdp’s penis.

.....That reminds me - I also have a June Brown one; talked to her on the phone when I worked on a weekly woman’s mag in the late 80s. She was nice but nuttier than a squirrel’s fridge.

I was working as a chef in a pub and on a sunday Garth Crooks came up to the carvery, I gave him some extra beef :D

I also cooked for Nick Nairns on one of his filming trips in Scotland

Also had my kitchen searched by Lord Robertson of Port Ellen bodyguards (who had guns under thier jackets!) before he came for dinner at the restaurant (have to say that he is a very nice chap and I met him on the ferry to Islay several times and chatted to him and his wife)

I've resuscitated a member of a very famous 70s rock band.

Margaret Thatcher's PA was my grandpa's cousin.

One of my old cars was sound tested and used for the development of an Xbox game.

James Dean Bradfield picked up my glasses for me when they were knocked off as I was throwing underage drinkers out of the bar I was managing. (He was a (fairly) regular and he is LOVELY).

I once asked Stephen Merchant which hand he used when wiping his bum. (Long story, mostly me being a bloody idiot).

Oh, and Robbie Williams is my step-cousin.

I used to live round the corner from Jeff from the Wiggles. Not sure if this is as cool in the UK as it was in Australia.
I was also studiously ignored by a famous comedian when I just wanted to ask him if he was in the queue in a coffee shop melee.
