I’m poorly in bed and have too much time to kill, plus I am very nosey.
I have never even met anyone remotely famous!

I dated a footballer who played for my local city when I was a teenager, he then went on to be the Manager years later.
Also the trainer of the same city's rugby team for a couple of months about ten years ago. A theme going on here haha. Though I actually hate sport.

Ooh my mum also had a bit of a thing with one of the Walker Brothers (60's American band) when they appeared in (unbelievably!) the Floral Hall in Morecambe in the 60's. Also with one of The Mindbenders, whoever they are!

No but my DM did - early 1960s

looby didn't Emma have a fling with Justin Timberlake as well? They were very on/off in the 90s/early 2000s

I used to be neighbours with someone who played for Fulham.

I have met Jon Bongiovi several times, a very nice person indeed.

I've had a conversation with Mariah Carey face to face years ago.

I've seen lots of famous people in real life but never dated any.

I had a relationship with a footballer, he played for a few Premier League teams, including a really famous one, and England. Despite his reputation he was a really lovely person.

I was hit on by a welsh rugby player on a night out- I walked away as he was so full of himself.
I told my dad the following morning, and he had a go at me for not ‘seeing how things went between us’ 🤦‍♀️

@Klopptimist nope. Older, more successful, never accused of sexual assault as far as I'm aware.

@babyinthacorner I wonder if we know the same person. Is he a 'professional extra' living in LA?

You may be right @JustAnotherMillennial - this was way after that though Hmm

A couple of rugby players, most of them are pretty daft sadly.

babyinthacorner · 31/01/2019 17:52

@Theunreasonableone I have no idea what he’s doing now, it didn’t end on good terms! He was in a Christmas advert on UK tv recently and I can’t imagine him living in LA...

May I ask how long ago this was, please? It seems that they only married a few weeks ago, so I'm wondering whether he's cleaned up his act, or it could even be a case of mistaken identity - although I suspect not, given how regularly these stories keep appearing about him.

Teddysmum7 · 17/02/2019 16:53

Yes, a boyband member who was very famous in the 2000s. They are still together and still sort of famous. He had a reputation but I was young and niave at the time and thought he was amazing, I cringe now anytime he pops up on these reality celeb shows 😱

Fiveredbricks · 17/02/2019 16:58

@Mumblers if it was the member who currently has a wife more famous than him then I have also heard tales
