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.

Struggling to get DD’s prom out of the door of a coffee shop in crouch end - Australian bloke jumps up from nearby table to help me, very nice and courteous.
I get ten paces down the road and think ‘shit that was Jason Donovan’

I adored JD as a child, can’t belive I met him 6 weeks post partum looking like death heated.

Loved living in crouch end, got to see quite a few celebs.

Haha- well that was my Daily Mail debut...

I was almost run over by Barry Chuckle in his great big car on a Yorkshire country lane. I’ve worked with Gok Wan and he was utterly delightful. I met Lily Allen years ago and she was friendly but also quite bratty and annoying. I’ve also met Rolf Harris and was starstruck as I grew up watching his shows. He was creepy and when all the revelations came out about him I believed every single one as a result of his behaviour that day. X

My DD was Baby Ian in Peep Show. We did it to alleviate to boredom of being home alone with a small baby all day. David Mitchell and Robert Webb were horrible and refused to travel to the set in the same car as us (knot heads).

Same DD once chucked a fish goujon that landed in the lap of Anna Chamberlain (Duckface) in a posh restaurant in London.

I was in a Marathon (now Snickers) ad.

My Range Rover was previously used to ferry celebs around for promos and arrived with Elton John's address programmed in the sat nav.

When I was a teen my the boyfriend and I would be upstairs snogging each other's faces off whilst his parents were entertaining the Prime Minister downstairs.

My parents shower was used in a sex scene starring dean lennox kelly on bbc tv series Sorted.

I met Jim Davidson in the bar area at Charlton Athletic, he was as narcissistic and arrogant in real life as he is on the telly.

Chris Evans stopped his car to let me cross the road. I turned to thank the driver, and did a double-take standing in the middle of the road, which made him smile.

I’ve met the queen (twice), Prince Phillip (hilarious) and Prince William.

I bumped into Nigella at a V&A exhibition and did that cringy smile and hello as if I knew her She was charming and said hello back.

I made and served a prawn mayo sandwich to Maureen Lipman.

The DC’s school friends’ parents were in the Mamma Mia movie.

DH and I ate in the Dean Street restaurant on our wedding night and Antonio Carluccio himself came over to wish us well.

Similarly on my hen night we ate in Maison Blanc in Oxford and Raymond Blanc came over with champagne for us.

I used to work in a diy shop and someone once asked me to mix some paint. They couldn’t choose between two very similar dark purple colours and asked me too. He then told me it was to paint the royal box at some venue or other 🤣

My friend was chatted up by Prince Andrew in his single days, on a party aboard a yacht. She said he was good looking and a real charmer, but had a big bum.

Dr Who!

Stayed in a London private members club with friends who were members. I went to bed and exh stayed in the bar, Kylie bumped into him at the bar and said sorry. He dined out on the fact Kylie spoke to him for years 🙄

My mum was "goosed" by Rod Hull's Emu.

I was caught in a toilet cubicle with someone from Madness.

Said member of Madness slept on my friend's living room floor one night after kindly driving us home after a gig. He left orange spray hair dye all over the carpet.

I met Phil Mitchell (can't remember his name) once, he was sooo ruddy cheeked! I rudely ignored him because I didn't want him to think I was a fan.

So glad that you asked. Many many years ago I was behind Marlon Brando in a local curry house queue for takeaways.

I once shared a lift with my friend, a couple of shoppers and Gazza & his wife and maybe one of their kids. We were in a shopping centre near where I live (he lived in the area at the time).

I said (in a not quiet enough whisper) "that poor bastard looks just like Gazza" - my friend was adamant that he heard me as he went rather red and that it really was Gazza. I feel sorry for him given all the shit he's endured in his life since.

My office is opposite a film studio where they film a lot of big name dramas. They quite often have the catering vans and smoking areas outside and between my office and favourite coffee shop. I am always having to squeeze past or say "excuse me" to famous actors but I have no idea who any of them are. Some of them seem a bit put out when I just want to get past them. A number of times people have said to me "you know that's So and so don't you?" and I'm completely oblivious. I could get some good autographs and selfies if I actually watched the right shows.

Ooh, I forgot Mum's ones -

Mum once had to have Agatha Christie to lunch when they were out in either Iraq or Iran; apparently she was a right snooty besom but her husband, Sir Max Mallowan the archaeologist who was digging in the area, was lovely.

Mum's brother, who was an aeronautical engineer, was headhunted by NASA to work on the Space Shuttle design.

EthelMerman I wouldn't feel sorry for Gazza, after the incident where he headbutted his wife and broke her arm, I hope he endures quite a lot of shit.

Oh I forgot me, my sister and mam met all of Mrs Brown's Boys cast when we took mam to see it on stage. She got hugs and autographs and was over the moon with it all. She also met Marti Pellow (who I'd of been named after if I'd been a boy because she loves him so much and blames the fact his song was in the charts on my conception )

I’ve seen the willy of a very famous Irishman (not by choice).

Goosed by emu 😂😂😂

Not at all surprised to hear Agatha Christie was a snooty besom (love the phrase!).

Totally outing but it was so long ago I doubt it matters .

In my youth I went out with a singer from a small time band , Brain of Morpheus , to be exact . Anyway he lived in a ground floor bedsit in Lee at the time and one of his housemates was Max Wall (many won't know who he was but you may have heard of him), Comedian and creator of funny walks. Passed him once on the stairs and he once answered the house phone to me and got my then boyfriend .

Another time me and my parents were in Great Yarmouth and went in a cafe where an Italian man was also sat . Turns out he was Renato from Renee and Renato, and their one hit Save your Love was about to be released . He gave me a signed cassette .

I should add that Max seemed fine , though I never really spoke spoke to him
Renato was a lovely Man , very chatty and friendly.

"Mum once had to have Agatha Christie to lunch when they were out in either Iraq or Iran; apparently she was a right snooty besom but her husband, Sir Max Mallowan the archaeologist who was digging in the area, was lovely."

To be fair, I think Agatha Christie was meant to be very shy.
