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.

Liam Gallagher hit on me when I was 19.

Some great stories!

I spent New Years Eve dancing on a table with John Belishi from the Blues Brothers. Many years ago.

My uncle designed and built moonraker.

Was at primary school with Stu Francis's daughter.

Ok I'll join but then I must go to bed.

I was unwittingly a neighbour to Richard Curtis (who wrote love actually and 4 weddings etc) and knocked on his door to ask about recycling

My dogs lost their shit when we met Tom Hiddleston on a run because of that orange puffa jacket.

I've sat in a row boat with Clive Anderson

I asked the speaker of the House of Lords what he did for a living.

I've dtd with a close relative of Steve Harley (but not his cockney rebels).

pennysays Do you live along the east coast? .
A place where all those seem to be attraced by (and unfortunatley buying holiday homes and blocking the village off)

Served Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) in KFC in Basildon in the 80s. It was my Saturday job when I was at college and I was very excited as I was (and still am) a massive fan.
Also Miles Hunt (The Wonderstuff) trod on my toe when he was dancing next to me at a club.

I saw pat roach walking up new street in birmingham when I was in my teens...
.
I met Jermery Kyle ( not on his chav fest programme !! ) but when he had some slight coolness about him when he was at BRMB - it was there Rd show and I was on the radio with him, he admired my coat and I won £18... 🙌.
.
I saw Leslie Philips at a comicon .. I gave him a little wave and he gave me the sweetest smile back 💕.
.
I waved at Lee Evans when he was on stage ( I was row 3 ) and he waved back at me 💕.
.
Years ago was a bar - when some bloke tried to chat me up - told him to sod off.. he said don’t you know who I am !? .
Me: me nope now sod off. .
Turns out he was some footballer ( I hate football ) .

My good friend used to hang out with ant and Dec - they were a pair of sluts lol - she also hung out with well known boy band .. who used to ring her up and wish her well when she was taking exams .
There’s more but I can’t renember names !! .

I've danced with Arthur Brown (Fire!) as a teenager at a party.
Katy Price and Peter Andre came into a pub I worked at at closing time, met some friends, didn't buy a drink. It was when they were big news and not "together" so my friend and I, when we finished our shift, thought we'd play paparazzi and followed them. Bumped into some teenage girls also stalking them, waited outside the restaurant they went to until they left and tried to get photos, but they drove off at speed! Fun night though...

@QueenDoria I went on a few dates with him earlier this year. Didn't even know he was Peaches' widow until a few dates in!

Scarlett Moffat danced with my kids when they learned Ballroom and Latin American dancing. She was really good and I'm just waiting for her to do Strictly! Unfortunately I have no photos of her with them. She was really sweet.

And my great uncle was Captain of the Empire Windrush.

I starred in an episode of Heartbeat

My DS was on the same uni course as Jonathan Ross's son - sat behind his parents at the graduation

Got a lift from a member of Westlife once. My sister was a colleague of his girlfriend (now wife).

My FIL and his brother used to run a company that did electrical work for film production companies.
FIL did all the electrics on the vicar of dibley, he said dawn french was a hoot and he nicked a prop from the set when it ended. It’s now in the downstairs loo.
They also did the Harry Potter and James Bond movies at pinewood studios.
Uncle in law still does it but FIL wanted to work closer to home so gave it up.

@PinaColada1, you are now my hero! I loved John Belushi, he was a comedy genius. He was going to be in Ghostbusters, can't remember which role but obviously died before it started. I had a serious crush on him as well.

Teeny tiny one, I was going to see Tony Benn talking and as I got to the theatre he was outside having a cup of tea. I stopped in my tracks and then just smiled at him. He smiled back and it was one of the loveliest smiles I've ever seen, big and warm and the most delightful sparkle in his eyes.

In 2016 I asked Jeremy Corbyn if I could hug him and he said yes and hugged me back. He smells really nice.

I worked in a popular restaurant in 1996 in London. Saw a lot of famous people there. RIP Tara Palmer Thomkinson once came with a friend, could not decide what to drink, so ordered half still/half sparkling water, and informed me that she was allergic to salt (complete b). Served Lindford Cristie there at the party, and threw full glass on him, when someone pushed me from behind. Model Iman (rip David Bowie's wife) was very rude and diva-like there too, until journalist arrived to interview her- then she became instantly friendly: hi-fives and everything.
Was walking near Piccadilly during my lunch break, suddenly, was pushed aside quite rudely and stopped by security- Princess Margaret just pulled up in her car to go to a restaurant.
Walked near Kensington Palace (1995) when Prince Charles appeared to go in to his helicopter. He said hello, and I was sure he waived AT ME from the air afterwards!
GianLuca Vialli (futboller) stroked my dog in Battersea Park. He was then Chelsea manager.
Nothing in recent years :(

I use to work in Laser eye surgery for Boots and i did Alision eyes who is on This Morning.Andy Townsend and Simon le bon wife.

lol at your stories my dad walked up to bob dylan at the interval at his concert and told him in no uncertain terms he was an a@#ehole cause he was so drugged up and my dad was annoyed at the night being crap lol love my dad

My father's Sister is married to Brendan O Carrolls brother

I once hugged Rolf Harris, before the peadophile stuff came out though.

Aged 16 I was dry humped in a nightclub (classy) by a now-quite-famous member of a rock band

I had a picture of me shown on wakaday once.

Boom!

(For those far far younger than I it was a kids morning tv show shown on Saturdays and holidays with the host being Timmy mallet. Ahhh the fine days of shell suits and neon)

I waited on Paul Weller and his kids. I really wanted to throw myself at him..... I didn't obvs!!
I used to serve Bobby Davro in a different job, he's a real dickhead. He used to parade his wife/gf round the local shopping centre in a fur coat 🤮.
A famous comedian shouted at me for taking a photo at gig.
A friend (as a kid) won a competition to meet Peter Andre (When he was first famous) and have lunch. He barely spoke to her.....

I am loving this thread, I have a few.

Used to live next door to Nick Heywood.
Was once proposition by Jean-Claude Van Damm, I said no, even though he was looking very buff, in the height of his Streetfighter fame.
Have met Roger Daltrey - he is soooo fit!
Have met Dame Kiri te Kanawa, a lovely lady.
DH has had several conversations over the space of a few days with Dame Judi Dench - he didn't even realise who it was until days later (he was scene guarding a film set). He said she was very down to earth and really sweet.
I once served Paul Young whilst working in a pub, he was very, very tall, quietly spoken and gorgeous.
I literally bumped right into Scott from neighbours, he was great about it, even though he spilt his drink all over him.
I shared a gym with Henry from neighbours, we were both on treadmills, I stupidly said 'ooh, I know you', he was happy to be recognised and we chatted for ages about neighbours and his doctor programme. Turns out he was staying with his sister who lived nearby.
We saw INXS jamming in a quiet location near a river whilst in Australia - it was awesome, like a private concert!
Met Gary Numan, very quiet and well spoken, his wife is stunning and lovely with it.
Met Bobby Davro, he was going through a divorce at the time and full of woe, poor thing, we had a few drinks and a laugh.
Met Prince Harry several years ago - I didn't recognise him as you wouldn't expect to see a royal in someone's house. He was friends with the family and had just popped in with their son. He said hello to me, very polite and quiet.
Have met Ian Botham, Bertie Ahern, Rick Wakeman, all in the same place whilst on holiday in Spain. Ian B was a big, scary grumpy bugger.
