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?

Oh, I should add that I only realised it was her after I'd looked at her passport. I'm rubbish at slebs.

I was once 'breathtakingly rude' (her words) to Grace Dent on twitter... short DM exchange followed, she saw my point.

I think I annoyed Ronnie Ancona and Sally Phillips on saturday.

I was trying to quietly gesticulate across a busy press office, that I needed to get to my cup of tea/stuff at the table they had pinched, they thought I was waving and trying to get a selfie....

I got nearer, and they tried to shoo me away so I said 'look I don't know who you are but you've sat at my table...'

Pouty faces all round!

I once refused to sell goldfish to Richard E Grant. He was most unimpressed
Also once let off a string of expletives after answering, and dropping, the home phone when I was still living with parents. Picked it up and Joan Collins was asking to speak to my dad, having heard every word. Blush

Purpleartichoke · 10/03/2020 18:41

Yes.

I was in an airport waiting area and did a double take and recognized Lea Thompson (back to the future). She noticed me notice her and it clearly made her uncomfortable because she put her sunglasses on. Then I ended up standing in line next to her and her daughter in the bathroom. Then I was seated near her on the plane. It was a small airport

I hadn’t done anything other than take a second glance because something made me look back, but she clearly thought she was traveling incognito and got rattled. I felt awful.

Darren Huckerby (footballer for a few clubs including Norwich) swore at my toddler DS as he got in his way outside Santander in town. TBF he was on crutches but he was quite cross about it.

Anna Ryder-Richardson pulled the 'dont you know who I am' on me when I worked for an airline, she was the last to board by miles and was being really showy about not seeming bothered about that, but also not wanting people to notice her. And she had loads of massive bags.

Only older Corrie fans will know who I'm talking about but a friend and I were visiting a market and we saw the actor who played Annie Walker's son doing some shopping with a woman. No-one was taking a blind bit of notice of him, he could have been anyone, but I just happened to recognise him. I have no clue what the actor's name is, just recognised the face.

I whispered to my friend 'there's the bloke who plays Billy Walker in Corrie' and the woman who was with him saw me and told him he'd been recognised. We weren't bothering him in the slightest, and had already walked past, when he came up behind and said "People like you make me sick". Eh, all I did was recognise him? I just muttered 'twat' and walked off.

Weirdly mine is also a Heather Mills-McCartney one, the 3rd on this thread? Involves accidentally stepping on her prosthetic foot in the loos and then apologising for stepping on her foot when she hadn't even felt it/realised. I think we'd both had some bubbly which didnt help the akward encounter.

crispysausagerolls · 10/03/2020 18:49

@SpokeTooSoon

That is very disappointing!

@DingleberryRose

Ohhhh please say for what 😁

Lynda07 · 10/03/2020 18:49

You may not have upset Noel Clarke (whoever he is), he could just be culling his Twitter acquaintanceship for all sorts of reasons. You don't know him so don't take it personally.

Toomuchtrouble4me · 10/03/2020 18:56

Jeremy Clarkson shouted at me on an A road for my poor driving when I'd just passed my test and I was really upset because I loved Top Gear, and then I realised that he's an arse and a bully and it didn't matter.

BUT...some are nice; My mum said hello to Boy George and he gave her a cuddle.

stuckinthemiddlewithtwats · 10/03/2020 18:58

@kizkiz he's a massive twat by the story I heard. My ex worked for BMW and they were contacted by Richard E Grant as his daughter had smashed up her new car. He wanted a brand new one for free as it was obviously the car's fault for getting in the accident. He was a huge bellend about it and threatened all sorts of bad press for them.

GabsAlot · 10/03/2020 18:58

Might ghave been her fake name devo you know the one she uses for tax purposes

ChocAuVin · 10/03/2020 19:00

A million years ago I was at a wanky party at China White. I saw Sid Owen (at the height of Rickaaaaay mania).

I said “Wow! I can’t believe it!” and he was all, “Yes, I know, it’s me” and I just said, still open-mouthed: “I had no idea from seeing you on TV that you’d be SO SHORT!”

His face turned to thunder Blush

BearSoFair · 10/03/2020 19:00

Gavin Rossdale unfollowed me on Twitter. I wasn't hugely offended as I never worked out why he even followed me to begin with Grin

Bbang · 10/03/2020 19:03

Not an upset but I accidentally ran over Joe Lycetts foot with my pram in Leeds last year and he couldn’t have been nicer about it! We even had a selfie!

PlomBear · 10/03/2020 19:05

I have no idea who most of these people are...

TowandaForever · 10/03/2020 19:08

@hamstersarse kirstie allsop has boys and her stepsons are boys too. You sure it was her?!

purrswhileheeats · 10/03/2020 19:12

I've upset John Barnes twice prick

My friend once accosted Linda Robson outside a cafe in Cyprus, poor Linda took it well but I've NEVER been so embarrassed in my whole life Blush

Coughsyrupsucks · 10/03/2020 19:13

When I was a teen, my Saturday job was in Waitrose. Gareth Hunt who did the Nescafé ads at the time, walked in and asked me where the coffee was. I pissed myself laughing and he walked off disgruntled. Thankgod he didn’t grass me up to the manager who was very scary!

Nikhedonia · 10/03/2020 19:17

@PsychoSyd Donna Air only has one daughter, are you sure it was her?

crosspelican · 10/03/2020 19:17

Thom Yorke had to step over my baby half-crawling/half-walking across the floor, making a (slow) run for it in a big cafe in my city and was visibly pissed off about it.

In my defence, it's a very popular cafe with Mums with toddlers at that time of day (fab food, big, noisy & bustly) and he was there all the time so it's not like he was shocked and stunned at toddlers in the giant toddler cafe. His own kids had been toddlers not very long before too.

I got in a very animated conversation with Beverley Knight two years ago at The Oliviers. I was really warming to my point swung my arm out and narrowly missed smacking Alexandra Burke in the face... She looked very surprised...
Many years ago was at the cinema with a friend her dd and my ds2 who has learning difficulties.. Thick ice and lots of snow... We were walking into town when a man hobbled towards us on crutches... Making conversation I jokingly said 'I don't envy you on those today mate! " Then looked it again and it was Richard Wright who was England and Ipswich goalkeeper... I got quite excited and told Ds2 who he was... Ds2 was unimpressed..." I LIKE CHELSEA... " He announced in his loudest voice... I smiled nicely and we slid off across the ice!! 🤣 🤣 BlushBlush

35 years ago I very nearly reversed into an athlete who was quite well-known at the time but went on to be very very famous. I don't know how I missed him (although he should've looked where he was going...).

Mydogatemypurse · 10/03/2020 19:25

Whilst waiting in a florist to collect my order I mistook a premier league footballer for an ex colleague and banged on for ages about how shot our job used to be and well done us for getting out. He just nodded.
We never worked together ha. I just recognised him and decided we must have worked together ha
