To ask if you've upset a "celeb"?

[QueenOfOversharing]

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?

Quite a few! Michael Bolton by dancing too much when I was sat next to him randomly at a prince concert, Sara Cox for keeping her awake at Glastonbury in 2009, Rick Astley at a friend's wedding by singing Never Gonna Give You Up when I walked past his table frequently, then digging the single out of my friend's bedroom (it was at his house), and getting the DJ to play it. That was 25 years ago. I spent a portion of my adult life backstage at festivals nicking booze from performers' riders, so am sure there are more. These days I only babysit DS and work, so I look back on these times fondly, especially now I am trying to save my business in the face of corona.

I gave Michael Ball a nosebleed by karate-chopping him in the face in a moment of youthful over-exuberance. He was 19 (so not famous but clearly talented), I was 17 and we were rehearsing a show with Surrey Youth Theatre. Blood everywhere. He was upset but gracious. I was mortified.

Years ago I was drunk in a bar in Soho with friends and spotted the man who played the Swedish lothario from Eldorado (cast you minds way, waay back). We remembered his daughter was called 'Trina', so basically we just kept saying 'Trina Trina' etc. until he looked on the verge of murder.

Me and a friend saw Bonnie Langford in a shop in Kensington many years ago. We pretended to be casually browsing while obviously staring at her with laser-like intensity. In the end she sighed loudly and left.

@ posterPyongyangKipperbang I would LOVE to call Quentin Tarantino a twat to his face! Also Kayne, but who wouldn't?

I saw Barbara Windsor years ago in York minus her wig and stood looking open mouthed at her, she didn't look impressed.

Robbie Williams gave me the two fingered salute at a Take That concert a long time ago. I was at the front and he peered out from the stage curtains. He'd just shaved his hair off and I shouted what have you done to your hair and that was his response!!

Oh asmuch, I used to see Barbara Windsor regularly when I worked in Harley Street, she had a mews cottage round the back of my place which I passed when going to shops. I was extremely impressed with her lovely complexion and she looked quite nice with her own short fair hair. Her cottage had frilly curtains and window boxes :-).

That makes sense I saw her in Waitrose Marylebone high street a couple of times.

How funny. I loved Suede and Masun. Met Brett and Bernard at TOTP.

Oddly, the lead singer of Mansun (Paul Draper) started following me on Facebook, then Twitter and then Insta in the space if a few days. I didn't follow him and my accounts aren't linked, so no idea how found each account. I felt a bit stalked. 👀😆

He's solo now.

I was drinking with Super Furry Animals and James Dean Bradfield from Manic Street Preachers at the Jury's hotel bar, after their gig in Cardiff, many moons ago.

SFA were a hoot as always, but James was sadly very grumpy.

James randomly had a little wind-up monkey that played cymbals in his pocket and set it off across the table.

We were a merry and giggly and my mate piped up and said, "Do you spank it James?", he went, "Sorry?!"

My mate replied, "Do you spank your monkey?"

The table fell about laughing, JDB either didn't get the joke, or didn't find it funny, he grunted, stood up and walked off to the lifts in a huff. Only to be accosted by a wannabe (drunken) groupie. Who he certainly had no time for. 🤣

I still love him and the Manics though.

Bump. I want to hear more stories.

Not me, but someone I worked with upset the drummer from Coldplay and it made the news.

This bit made me laugh. Shows how insane London property prices have become: £650,000 is nothing!

"Jacqueline, a primary school teacher, was impressed with how unstarry Will and his fiancee Mariana seemed. Even though their home is worth around pounds 650,000, she'd see them out riding their mountain bikes."

Also, why wouldn't rich people like to get out on a bicycle every now and again?!

@spatchcock Just read the link. That's amazing! Can't stand Coldplay. 😆

Never liked Coldplay - thought ‘Im looked like he was too far yo his own backside. I was right
