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?

I refused an upgrade to Harry Redknapp on a flight. I didn’t have a clue who he was, but the plane was full anyway. He sulked the whole flight. Entitled cheapskate.

@Picklypickles she sounds awful. Karma got her though. Her most famous work now is about vaginal dryness 😂

TealWater · 10/03/2020 18:05

Oh, I just remembered one more!

Candace Cameron-Bure (from Full House) who had apparently gone ultra hard right Christian. She tweeted on the day that Obama was re-elected that it was "A sad day". That's all she tweeted, but everyone knew what she was referring to. I tweeted to her that the problem with the Republican party candidates was that they were so off-the-wall with comments about women's bodies would know the difference between rape and sex and not get pregnant (paraphrasing some Rep who I forget their name) and other horrible things like that about women and rape and abortion.

She blocked me, within minutes. Ah, she was an extremist nutter anyway, so I don't care about that so much. DJ was my favourite character in Full House though.....she has ruined it for me now. lol

I did once cause Baroness Trumpington to criticise my posture and appearance - I was supporting one of our ministers at a House of Lords sitting as the designated civil servant, and was waiting outside the chamber for my cue, leaning against the wall. The good baroness stalked down the corridor, looked me up and down, and remarked 'stand up straight, girl, you're making the place look untidy' and then entered the chamber. I was a bit embarrassed - I'd seen her on Have I Got News For You the week before so I knew who she was Grin

My friend once accidentally pushed Kylie Monogue off a pavement and she should have been miffed, but she was lovely about it.

GabsAlot · 10/03/2020 18:09

Aww little kylie bless her

GrannyBags · 10/03/2020 18:11

Oh, and I stepped on Dean Gafney’s stomach in a club. Both of us were slightly (lol) the worse for wear so I have no idea if he was upset or anything.

crispysausagerolls · 10/03/2020 18:13

I wrote this on another post recently but Hugh Grant.

Used to live in Chelsea and saw him around loads, to the point where DH and I referred to him as “my friend, Hugh”
😁. Once he drove in his Ferrari into my street. He was on my side of the road as there was a flower van on his, and he needed to back the hell up so I could get round. He refused. We had a stand off and I switched my engine off and he, with a very bad grace, eventually reversed.

After that we referred to him as “my nemesis, Hugh”.

Picklypickles · 10/03/2020 18:13

@Asmuchuseas Yes she was, I always have a giggle when I see her vaginal dryness ads!

SpokeTooSoon · 10/03/2020 18:15

I was recently blocked by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitch from Modern Family) on Instagram.

He and his husband are having a baby via a surrogate mother. He was repeatedly referring to the “gestational carrier”. I can’t remember exactly what I said but I was pulling him up (politely really) on the term as it removes the notion of “mother” or even “woman” from the process.

I was blocked quickly. Disappointed actually as I liked him.

About ten million years ago I had a boyfriend who was a photographer. He got a few jobs from a classical music magazine and once was asked to do a photoshoot of Andre Previn at his country pile in Surrey. Boyfriend persuaded me to go along as his assistant - I duly went, and helped with setting up all these big old light reflecting screen things while we waited for the great man to appear. Next thing, we heard him yelling down the phone at someone, apoplectic about how we were 'fucking about with fucking umbrellas' and wasting his time. We were ejected from the house and I remember burning with shame as we crunched along the gravel driveway back to the car. Much later I just thought he was a tit for being so rude.

Gre8scott · 10/03/2020 18:17

I 2as working with the actors who played Tony from corrie and justin from hollyoaks one pantomime. Justin would always go out and sign autographs after a show but 'Tony' wouldnt so one night I saw him at stage door hiding u der his hat and shouted oh Gray (real name) theres your money back I had bought him something at the shop and he got mobbed for autographs!! Haha was so funny

kirinm · 10/03/2020 18:18

Noel fielding blocked me. I made a comment on Twitter about GBBO that didn't tag him or GBBO in it so he must've been searching his name.

Bunnyfuller · 10/03/2020 18:19

Called the lead singer from Showaddywaddy a wanker.

Asked Michael Barrymore if he knew who I was. He looked confused and walked away.

SimonJT · 10/03/2020 18:19

I dumped one, which he wasn’t impressed about, but we’re back to being good friends.

I annoyed Beverley Knight at a show in Hyde Park this summer, she said something a bit unpleasant and my four year old told her off!

NeedToKnow101 · 10/03/2020 18:19

I have! Drunk in a club night in a pub in Islington. Went to the men's loos as the ladies had (as always) a big queue.. Mark Lamarr came in, who I had quite a crush on (crazy I know!) I said slurred 'I know who you are." He started preening and readying himself for my adoration. "Vic Reeves," I said (no idea why - I think I wanted to make him laugh). He walked off in disgust.

DingleberryRose · 10/03/2020 18:22

I’ve been blocked on Twitter by Donald Trump. I won’t say what for as its outing! Grin

expat101 · 10/03/2020 18:22

Not really a story but many years ago when Neighbours had reached its peak and Kylie was still Charlene, I was running down some back stairs at a major hotel in Sydney to get to their pool and nearly collided with Jason, Kylie and the other Lass who was in the series at the time. Not sure who got the biggest shock but all were gracious that I nearly bowled them over.

My only recent upset was this week when an Admin for a 'free' horse group I wanted to join didn't like my replies as to why I wanted to join.

At the time I was peeved that a property was advertising on social media that they rescued a couple of nags who actually need rescuing from the poster. Stupidly I mentioned this in part to the Admin who demanded to know who it was, and I refused. So I have been blocked from the page and my membership denied. No big deal and only confirms my theory that some horse people are far too precious and important in their own head, for their own good.

fairydustandpixies · 10/03/2020 18:25

Fanny Craddock (when I was a working in a library and her books weren't available - but wow, she was formidable!), Christopher Timothy, same library, he was absolutely vile. Upset both of them. One of the Changing Room presenters when she was launching a new development (can't remember her name right now), she asked me what I liked about the area and I told her everything I didn't like, she was not happy!

PeppermintPasty · 10/03/2020 18:26

Thom Yorke has/had a house near me, he’s not a very nice man imo having observed twatty superior behaviour from him in our local pub on more than one occasion.

Anyway, I once accidentally ran into him quite hard with a supermarket trolley whilst out shopping. I apologised and only realised it was him afterwards-he had a woolly hat on and he is also under my eyeline being tiny.

I was also driving home once and he waved at me in an angry fashion to slow down as he was by the side of the road. I’m afraid I didn’t see him, not because of his size this time, but because he was in dark clothing at dusk making no attempt to be visible (country road). A right wally, very glad I’ve pissed him off at different times (I am petty Grin)

PeppermintPasty · 10/03/2020 18:26

And his music is shit.

Changedmyname84 · 10/03/2020 18:28

As a young whipper snappers I saw Calum Best in a nightclub in London. I spoke to him about my dad being an alcoholic and how I sympathised with him - my dad died too - I don’t think I upset him as much but just prob wasn’t the best place to bring it up! He kind of looked concerned when he was talking to me - but he wasn’t rude and he didn’t walk off!

Devoilmum · 10/03/2020 18:29

Many years ago but Lorraine Kelly arrived to check in at the hotel I was working at - I asked her name. She was most put out that I didn’t recognise her!

PsychoSyd · 10/03/2020 18:33

Donna Air. I work on passport control & she came to my desk with her kids. All their passports were in covers. I asked her very nicely to please take them out of the covers (I won't do it in case the passport gets damaged). Well, you'd have thought I asked her have sex with a chicken! She pulled each document out & flung them one at a time at me. After I'd checked them, I passed them all back & sweetly said thank you & goodbye. She stalked off with her nose in the air. All in front of her kids 🤷‍♀️
