Spike Milligan when I was really young (About 8) at a church fete

I accidentally met Jeremy Beatle when he was doing some filming near Oxford Street

Sue Perkins coming out of a recording studio which specialises in voice recording

Oh and quite a few footballers from the 90s because I played for a ladies team and the mens team often cane to watch and encourage us

Oh @IJumpedAboardAPirateShip. So he's not just sexy as hell but lovely too.

IJumpedAboardAPirateShip · 13/09/2020 17:22

@monkeyonthetable @SingingInTheShithouse yup, he’s very sexy and very lovely and really clued into politics and cares about the world and has a brilliant mind that works at 100miles an hour. And sends emojis via text

@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip - do you need a new best friend? Grin

trixie1970 · 13/09/2020 21:22

Boy George - in a night club when I was about 18.

Alex "Hurricane" Higgins - asked me to go for a drink with him when I bumped into him on Chancery Lane. I was about 19. (He was pretty drunk already.)

Roger Daltrey - he was a client in a barristers' chambers I used to work in (same job as when I met Alex Higgins and around the same time too). I served him tea and cake as one of our housekeeping ladies was ill and he was quite possibly the rudest man ever! Right up his own backside - I hate people like that!

I would've loved to have met David Bowie - adored that man!

Great to hear @IJumpedAboardAPirateShip 😊

I've been lucky to meet so many other celebrities over the years, mostly in my line of work. Sadly that isn't even close to what can be said of some of them

Leakinglikeacolander · 13/09/2020 23:23

Dex Dexter from Dynasty, please tell me he was lovely.

Defender90 · 13/09/2020 23:29

The Proclaimers.

Hugh Jackman. Our sons used to play together as toddlers

Robbie the Pict made a pass at me when I was about 18

StrumpersPlunkett · 14/09/2020 21:19

@leakinglikeacolander
he was gorgeous, he had just been on Wogan the night before I bumped into him in the street in London and he sat on the curb and chatted to me for about 10 minutes whilst my mum talked to the lady he was with.

PontiusPilates · 14/09/2020 21:25

Roland Rat.

BikeRunSki · 14/09/2020 21:28

@PontiusPilates wins the internet! Grin

Flappypants · 14/09/2020 21:28

The Hoff!!!

Flappypants · 14/09/2020 21:29

And a few others but that was the most hilarious and random.

PunkrockerGirl59 · 14/09/2020 21:29

Susan Hampshire. An absolute delight

Hueandcry · 14/09/2020 21:40

Timothy Spall

Cahu58 · 14/09/2020 21:44

Prince Edward, Boy George ... not together obvs

CrocodilesCry · 14/09/2020 22:01

Properly up close and the nicest would probably be Ralph Ineson (Amycus Carrow in Harry Potter/Chris Finch in The Office) who is just brilliant - worked with him for a few hours.

I've met and interviewed quite a lot of people though.

Some of the more bizarre: William Hague was delightful - a really nice man and great to talk to. Joe Pasquale (bonkers). Lembit Opik is also charming and really friendly.

HerBigChance · 14/09/2020 22:03

Oh I am pleased to hear that about Dex Dexter. I fancied him in Dynasty.

whynotwhen · 14/09/2020 22:16

Idris Elba. Oh and I was at a party with Beyoncé once and stood as close as I possibly could but no I don't think that counts

WeMarchOn · 14/09/2020 22:16

Jason Manford & US Impractical Jokers

Queen, Prince Philip, Charles, Anne. Anthony Joshua!

Jiggeriepokerie · 14/09/2020 22:20

Forgot Prince Harry. He was so normal he introduced himself to me. And told me stories about his granny 😀
