Who is the most famous person you have met?

[WomenHour]

I would have to be George Sampson.

Hells teeth, I did not mean to quote!

I met quite a few at work over the years, I couldn't say who was the most famous. Maybe George Carey who was AofC some years back. Plenty of actors, opera singers, politicians, foreign royalty but I don't think I ever met any British royals, certainly none of the premier ones.

One person I remember very well was Gary Moore, the guitarist. I didn't recognise him at the time :-). He had some bad healed scars on his face but they didn't spoil his looks. Some years later I felt sad when he died such miserable death. Oh and the old comedian, Jimmy Jewel. He was absolutely charming.

jackdaw it deserved a quote, she is a fine woman. Extra points for use of the underused "Hells teeth".

Larry Mullen
John Humphrys
Prince Charles

^^
My personal fave 😂

David Walliams. Asked him if I could get a picture with him, he said yes and came over and hugged me, He is very tall compared to me and I literally got stuck underneath his armpit, He had to hunch over to even get my face in the picture. I know he seems to get a lot of hate, But I have been a fan of him and Matt Lucas since the 90s so it made my day.

Zsa Zsa Gabor. About 35 years ago, full on hollywood glamour inc fur coat and the Rolls.

I also met the Queen Mother as a very young child but don't remember much. I think the helicopter landing in front of our school left more of an impression.

Some of my stepdad's family were really good friends with Oliver Reed, but that was before my time unfortunately. The stories we kids over heard though..

@myteethareinmymouth that's really surprising given his reputation

Am I the only person who had to google George Sampson ?

I have no idea who he is, and I can't be bothered to Google.

My most famous, in the sense of actually meeting and talking to properly is probably Quentin Crisp .... whom I loved to death, but who turned out to be rather disappointing.

I work in the gardens of lots of 'so called' celebs. I'm no longer impressed by any of them. Most ignore you or are rude. The lovely ones a so few and far between. I'm not able to divulge names as I'm under a disclosure contract.

I see people online saying he is creepy but they never seem to elaborate much further than that. Met him a few times now and he has always been nice and respectful to me which is what I base it off.

mariah carey.

bon jovi a few times.

nicole kidman

tom cruise
keith chegwin

@myteethareinmymouth my younger sister adores his books, but I known 2 people who have met him who have said he's rude and arrogant and the youtubr stories are fairly bad so idk

Ella Fitzgerald. After a concert.

I poured out love and respect - she was absolutely amazing. Pure pure real genius talent. Legend.

Only more recently have I realised quite what an extraordinary woman she was and what an unbelievable life she had.

Prince William when he was at Edinburgh uni.

I’ve also met Amy Winehouse. She had red wine for breakfast. She was with that rotten Blake Civil-Fielder guy. She was titchy. She came to my galley to ask for tissues as Blake decided to wipe his snot on her

I have a list but my most internationally famous is probably Jeff Goldblum

@Longdistance I never met Amy but I knew Blake. Fucking cunting arsehole on so so many levels. She wasn’t the only girlfriend he got hooked on heroin

@Justaboy any clues?

Steve Redgrave
Lenny Henry
Chris Eubank
Kenny Samson

I’m glad my instincts about this arse wipe were right. I wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole 🤮

Desmond Tutu
Queen Mum
Malala

The Queen 👑

Served her some spuds I did some other big wigs were there too but she’s the Boss.

She also asked me for a G&T - a double - so I think she found the event as interesting as I did.
