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.

I used to work at Woolworths about 30 years ago with Andrew Flintoff's brother - he used to tell us about his brother who was a very promising junior cricketer!

Ive walked Snorbitz

I share a half-brother with Chris Harris from Top Gear - his dad was my mum's first husband. Haven't seen him since we were about 14 though, I just keep up with his news via our brother.

I had a brief dalliance with Matthew Morrison (Mr Schuester in Glee).

And we have a winner!

Name changed...
Mine are heavily balls/door related and usually involve me injuring someone...

• Hit Paul McCartney in the balls with my handbag (accident, not intentional)
• Tim Henman ran into my head while I was picking up a big bag of tennis balls
• Nanette Newman let a door close in my face as a child. Never bought Fairy since because of this incident
• After the Macca incident I was so star struck in the immediate aftermath that I let a very heavy door shut in the face of Jonathan and Jane Ross
• Had too much champagne and failed to recognise a heavy swing door coming out of the ladies in a very swish Soho restaurant. Pushed it a little too hard and hit Tara Palmer Tompkinson on the other side
• Did that thing when you accidentally get in the same compartment of a revolving door as another person but realise it's only really built for 1 as you trip and hop about trying not to fall over the other person... who was Princess Anne
• Nearly run over by Tom Jones on the Euston Road

I (purposely) dropped a heavy bottle of wine into the lap of Dennis Wise (Chelsea footballer and typical 'bad boy' of the game) and told his promoter Eric Hall (The "MONstaaaar" guy) to "piss right off if you want to keep your balls" after being grabbed at a charity football do in the early 90s.

They retaliated by ordering the bar manager to "sack me" ....who replied "Sack my sister? The soldier who was X's best friend? Do you really want to go there mate?

[the function was held in memory of a friend who died of leukaemia and organised by his family to raise funds for CLIC]

I actually remember this as a good time, because my mate would have absolutely wet himself laughing at what I did, and it was a joy to see the confusion and fury on Wise's face when sat back down!

My friend dated one of Little Mix for a bit! And I once elbowed Nick Grimshaw out of the way at a gig because he was dancing without any respect for anyone within about 8 feet around him

I was beaten up at boarding school by an actress who has done some
Film and more tv work. My mother washed dishes with Elton john in the 80s (not a euphemism)

The father of a professional football player cleans my wheelie bin

My DH was almost run over by Jeremy Paxman. It was years ago in Manchester. Paxo was driving his massive car out of the old BBC building car park just as DH was walking past.
I think they swore at each other.

The hedgehog from Detectorists is in my shed. I’m looking after her for the winter.

She’s blind and is under the care of a local hedgehog rescue (who I volunteer with.) Her blindness means she wouldn’t survive in the wild, so spends summer in a safe, enclosed garden and the winter in a cosy pen. I looked after her last year as well. Her name’s Buutercup and she’s very sweet.

I met Ozzy Osbourne
My sister has one of Vera's wood burning stoves in her house

My aunt used to know a man that was getting into acting. He excitedly told her one day he was going to be in a horror movie where he had to have loads of pins in his head and that it was called Hellraiser.
She also knows Matt Smith from doctor who and now my dad (who has never met him) tells everyone he's a family friend

Mine are no way as exciting - we had a drink with Jeremy Vine a couple of years back (he's very nice) but my chance in a bar. I've had dinner with a few "famous" people or attended receptions but only because they have day jobs as academics as does my dh (they were there as guest speakers he was hosting.) Desmond Tutu was really interesting - he's amazing!

Shane Richie kissed my cheek at the end of his performance of boogie nights at the mayflower theatre. I was about 10 and he asked me to go up on stage and I was too shy.

I bumped into Tony Blair, in his bedroom at chequers.

@ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName - Is it Wayne Sleep?

A distant cousin was in The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe. He played Olivier's son so it was a fairly sizeable part.

Another distant relative's wedding made the papers as the Middletons all attended and Michael gave her away.

I live in north London so see various slebs from time to time. There's at least 3 from Game of Thrones who live around here.

I got locked out of my flat and managed to climb in through the bedroom window with the aid of the actor Simon Callow, who held the ladder for me.

Some time around that era my late MIL met him at an AA meeting. Apparently he was very friendly and said "Hello, I'm Tony" as he served her with a cup of tea and a biscuit.

I held Lady Gaga’s left boob for some time.

My old German teacher was married to Basil Rathbone's cousin. Something she mentioned frequently.

I almost ran over Simon Amstel when he walked out in front of my car during the Edinburgh Festival.

I pissed off Sir Steve Redgrave by failing to recognise him while serving him at work (I asked for his name and everything).

I was called Darling by ex-footballer Ian Wright while he was clad in the most hideous pink golfing gear (also at work). I hate being called Darling.

I saw Dame Judi Dench in a shop once. I chose not to smile at her because I was eating a huge chocolate costed Brazil nut at the time and thought the overall effect could be concerning
