I was very upset confused & amused to find that Noel Clarke has blocked me on Twitter.

I've never even interacted with the bloke & I really like him as an actor & the films & tv shows he's in. No fucking idea how I've come to be blocked 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Have you ever upset a celebrity? Did you knick Baby Spice's parking space? Did you spill a drink on Keith Chegwin?

Jim Davidson used to do summer season where I worked. He would come into the shop and ask me if we had something in stock. If I said no he would ask for the male manager to check. If he said no, he would accept it. Strange how having a penis meant my male colleague could find something in stock I couldn't. Wanker.

@elizabethrose - oh that just broke my heart!

Which is totally at odds with my personal experience. I can direct DH to something third shelf down, second row in, slightly left of centre beside the X, adding that it has a great big red arrow sticker on it and he'll look and come back with 'are you sure?' Grin

Chris Hemsworth! I accidentally spilt a lemonade drink on him at a Gold Coast pub here in Australia. He just said "Hey watch it" then continued to give me the evils the whole time he was there

Kate Mulgrew - I got into the lift with her! We made small talk happily for a few seconds and just as I got off the lift I said I really loved Star Trek and she was clearly pissed off at that. Bizarre. So bizarre I actually googled to re-check she was bloody in it!

I guess she gets the Star Trek comments all the time. But it’s not like I said ‘I hate you, your family, and the lift you stand in’. Gees.

At a party I met a winner or runner up from a singing competition show like x factor. Cannot remember her name but i thought i knew her. I stared a little too much while we were having photos taken and she was unnerved and disappeared soon after. I'm sorry lass whatever your name is. I just thought you were a neighbour from some years back.

Walked past Gary lineker and commented on him being orange (which he is) and very short (also he is) looked back and he obviously had heard me. Oops. Also his girlfriend at that time was waay too young for him.
Met some lovely guys on a night out in Leeds, had the most wonderful night, such fun. And at the end they said to me, you dont know who we are? Nope , no clue. Only some of the Leeds rhino's. 🤦‍♀️

Sat in train station with friend who suddenly gets up and runs after a bloke. I wondered what the hell she was doing so raced after her. It was someone from emmerdale apparently. Anyway she bagged him, almost knocked him over getting the photo and whatever. Caused a bit of a stir she did, quite quickly a crowd formed around this poor fella. People asking who is it and I'm shrugging saying I dunno, some bloke off coronation street. He heard me and scowled.

Theres more but y'know menopause and memory dont mix

@Namethecat Martina Cole was nice to me when I met her (I used to work in publishing), but I think that’s cos I was supplying her with vodka.

Pinkiii · 12/03/2020 15:48

I got blocked by Jodie Marsh for calling her out on certain things

ArthurDentsSpaceTowel · 12/03/2020 15:51

Gordon Ramsay swore at me once when I was crossing a road (He was in his car).

He was probably just saying hello.Grin

Sunflowersok · 12/03/2020 16:25

My friend once stole a hat from a verrryyyy famous footballers head when she was younger. It got in the media apparently he was really upset by the whole thing Blush

Lynda07 · 12/03/2020 16:32

I had a serious talk about being late for an important appointment where I worked with the late, great Gary Moore. Though I had his name I didn't recognise him.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 12/03/2020 17:00

My DD used to work at the London Eye. A very well known footballer demanded that when his pod was at the top, the Eye should stop for 1/2 hour so he and his family could just admire the view. When told that was not possible he shouted in DD's face "do you know who I am??" To which the reply was "yes and it's still not happening. If you carry on being rude you won't be going on at all".

elizabethrose · 12/03/2020 17:05

@Tp93 my daughter was on set with Chris Hemsworth recently as an extra. He wouldn't talk to anyone, wouldn't allow photos or autographs. She was so excited to meet him, but technically she never really did. He was such a diva.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 12/03/2020 19:25

My dsis upset Kit Harrington on the tube. He was stood by the door with a cap on trying to look not like Kit Harrington. Dsis (didn’t have specs on) and was peering about he obviously thought she was star struck. She got up to get off, and he frowned at her more and opened his mouth to say something. She just said “excuse me can I get past” and he looked deflated. (He is rather short btw)

keepingbees · 12/03/2020 20:19

@Tunnocks34 Shock I thought Tyrone was supposed to be lovely in real life, a lot like his character. That's disgusting!

GeraldtheGorilla · 12/03/2020 20:34

Used to regularly work on reception in Alderley Edge - did not watch football or soaps so refused tables to many. However very quickly sorted found out who were the nice people.

You’d be so surprised who are lovely and who treat people amazingly well and who are twats.

Funnily enough sometimes the lesser known gets better treatment than the big star.

ChristmasFluff · 12/03/2020 20:38

Graham The Genius (not a genius at all) off Jeremy Kyle blocked me on Twitter cos I tweeted that he "couldn't spot a psychopath if they told him they loved him before mugging him".

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 12/03/2020 21:19

Terry Pratchett was not pleased with me because I couldn’t provide him with non-Russian vodka in a small town in the middle of nowhere with no notice Probably pissed off many celebs as I’m terrible at facial recognition. I can walk past members of my own family, never mind celebs.

Did meet George Alagiah (sp??) though. He was lovely, and looked so young I originally thought he must be his son!!

WhereDidMyEyebrowsGo · 12/03/2020 21:34

I was in the Sound of Music at a large regional theatre about 20 years ago. About 6 of us nuns took our usual shortcut through the rehearsal studio from our dressing room to get to the stage. One evening we accidentally woke up Prunella Scales, who was there rehearsing her play and sleeping on a sofa in the rehearsal studio hidden under piles of newspapers. I don't know who was more shocked; her or us.

Probably her actually. Nobody needs to see a procession of 6 nuns walking through the room when they've just woken up!

Tp93 · 12/03/2020 23:45

@elizabethrose I didn't do it on purpose obviously, I actually didn't even know it was him until i looked over and said I was sorry over and over but he seemed really horrible but in the media he is lovely of course!

Just having a bad day when she called someone a retard then? Hmm

Iloveplacentas · 13/03/2020 12:50

Yesterday! I was waiting for my older 2 DC’s to get off the school bus with my 3 year old twins. As I’m distracted they start rattling the letterbox of the house we are standing outside and the door opens and a voice says ‘whose that knocking on my door’, look up and it was Sir Ian McKellen! I apologized and he was very sweet!

AnneJeanne · 13/03/2020 12:57

In the mid-90s I got the finger from Gene Hackman for driving too slow (Didn’t quite know where I was going). I remember thinking that he looks like a man who would flip you off.
