What's your claim to fame? *lighthearted*

[BadlyDrawnSimpsonsCharacter]

Inspired by an article I've just read online whilst waiting for my train, AIBU to ask...what is your claim to fame? The weaker the claim the funnier, such as "I dated Margaret Thatcher's cousins drama tutor" e.g. But any will do.

I'll go first. I served Gary Cahill (footballer) once as a waitress; he came into the budget restaurant I worked at...and didn't even foot the bill!

A bit of a silly post I know, but the article I read had me giggling. If this post makes at least one person giggle that would be great - I think we're all in need of a laugh right now!

My dad's Uncle Bill is Brian Blessed's uncle by marriage. My dad also (50 years ago) used to work for the same company as David Seaman's dad. I also used to work in the same office as Brian Cox's sister.

@Dungabees was she a nice person? Watched it a few times

@FannysSteadiedBuffs

And I've been behind Charlie Dimmock at the checkout of Waitrose.

I’ve met her!

Oh am I once bumped straight into Les Battersby in my way into my GPS surgery

I sat behind Alfie Enoch (he's in Harry Potter and How to Get Away with Murder) on a flight from Glasgow to London. He was quite invested in chatting up the woman next to him

My aunty went out with the bloke who designed

1. Terry's Chocolate Orange and
2. Buzby ( one for the teenagers) This is far too good, I know!

I babysat Rory McIlroy

I was in all the sea life centres brochures/posters etc as a kid, have a photo with fergie and Andrew when they came to open the one my dad worked at.

My dad was also on blue peter through the sea life centre, must be around 30 years ago now, I still have the badge!!

I was on the 6pm news.

I've sung nursery rhymes with Frankie Detorri

I was in a music video dressed as Marilyn Monroe

And I made a giant pair of pants to break a world record.

I once sat with my friend a table away from Christopher Biggins in a spa. We were all in white fluffy bathrobes.

I also had a meal in a pub with some friends and James May was sat with a friend around the corner. He has now bought this pub, well half of it.

Bernard Manning offered me a job in his nightclub.

And I have been shamed by my father in front of Margaret Thatcher for wearing ripped jeans (in my parents’ home)

In normal times we let out our spare room on Airbnb. We had a lovely chap stay a night who'd been in Brookside years ago. Can't remember his name for the life of me. Have never watched Brookside.

My mum is friends with Celia Imrie's sister...

I regularly serve James Nesbit in the shop I work in.

I used to work in theatre and telly many years ago. Whilst working in theatre my friend, an actor, invited me to join him and a friend for lunch.

The friend was the actor who had been in the Maynards Wine Gum advert - There's Juice Loose Aboot This Hoose - dancing in the kilt. I sadly cannot remember his name and Google isn't helping but he was the loveliest chap and I really enjoyed his company. And I bloody loved that advert!! My then young son was very impressed!

I once dated a professional footballer.

He bought me a ring every day, but the relationship soon cooled as I dumped him after 10 days. Unfortunately, I had run out of fingers to put all my rings on!

Oh what it was to be 7 years old. Wish I could say that he went on to be a famous footballer, but unfortunately not. However I recognised him immediately in a match I went to see once. I understand cyberstalked that he's now a football manager.

I grew up living next door to Mr Blobbys parents.

I also sat behind Harriet Walter whilst in a cathedral for an advent event

Jeffrey Archer answered my tweet!

John McArdle (Billy Corkhill ) used to go into the paper shop that my mum worked at. Very nice man apparently

I was married to Jarvis Cocker.
Well.
When I say married....
He spilt a pint on me in the Barrow House pub.
And bought me a castaway.
More or less.

I starred in a BBC programme called 'Hot Pursuits ' I took Katie Price's son bookshopping

I helped look after Bob the Street Cat
This is all very outing

My grandma used to babysit the wrestler Big Daddy.
