Rio Ferdinand. Very briefly. My friend asked him for his autograph and he was very grumpy about it ( I imagine she was probably the gazillionth person to ask that day so I suppose I can understand his reaction) lol

I once served Joan Collins ice cream. Also bumped into Pamela Anderson out on her hen night for her short-lived marriage to kid rock.

I don’t know if this counts as a proper meeting but I did meet all 3 of the marvellous ladies in Fascinating Aida. After the show they came out into the foyer of the theatre to meet the audience. Myself and my daughter were amongst the last to leave and so most people had gone, there were only a couple of people around by then, and we had a few minutes to chat. They were absolutely lovely.

Ziggy Marley, Princess Anne, Nicola Benedetti

It is a toss up between the Queen and Samuel L Jackson.

I also did bump I to Kriss Akabusi in a service station.

Happyadventurer, thanks for the reminder about Fascinating Aida! They're so funny and so brilliant, but I keep forgetting to look their stuff out for some reason.

Who is George Sampson op?

I've meet Will Young, it was a meet and great situation but he was lovely, I was a gibbering nervous wreck, he was so patient as I went on about coming to past shows with my mum (she had past away 6 months before this show) I have a bracelet with the ashes off my parents in and was explaining she was here tonight in spirit. He seemed genuinely interested and caring.

Also at show later, he spotted me in crowd and gave me a wave. If you've seen Will perform he really makes eye contact with crowd, always looking ahead.

I just think some celebrities don't like being approached when not at 'work'. I'm a massive Madonna fan but wouldn't want to meet her. She has a terrible reputation and doubt I'd ever see her out and about and know if I did, I'd get told to fuck off! She really does meet and greets so if she ever did I'd feel she wouldn't want to be there.

SuitedandBooted · 05/10/2020 11:39

Princess Anne, Kate Winslet, Sam Neil, Richard E. Grant & Boris Johnson (not all at once!)

Bluesheep8 · 05/10/2020 11:48

Ewan McGregor. I didn't recognise him though and had to be told who he was afterwards Blush

Bit of a mixed bag really. My favourite was Monty.

I went to school with Jamie Cullum. Had to listen to him playing the piano many an assembly.

Neil Gaiman a few times. Kissed me and I didn’t want to wash my face again, also made his wife..(estranged wife?) Amanda Palmer a necklace and she’s photographed wearing it quite often which is nice.

Pierced the bass player from Pendulums ears.

Got stoned at a party with Billie Piper when we were about 16

That’s all I’ve got

I used to date a Mr England. He's not really famous though.

IntermittentParps · 17/10/2020 13:52

TopBitchoftheWitches, what was the Hoff like? A hoot, I hope.
