Of the lovely celebrities I've met, top of the list has to be David Suchet, with whom I worked a few times, he was absolutely charming. Also, randomly, Courtney Love was great, albeit this was the v early 90s not recently.

Maybe David Attenborough is sick to death of people wrecking the planet? Most humans are enough to frustrate anyone.

You should read Revenge - Tom Bower about Meghan. Whole new insight into her behavior. However considering what Charles Andrew and Camilla have done I think it's a joke how MM is highlighted as the worst.

Mistaken identity, from Jeremy Vine's book about himself. Sitting on the loo in a train, one of those scary ones with self-opening doors, the door opened and someone was waiting outside. "Jeremy Paxman!?!" "Yes I am. That's me".

I met David Attenborough and he got all lagered up on the Carlsberg Special Brew and told me that it was well known industry secret that he has an identical twin brother and they alternate being DA every other day so that David can get a bit of peace from the limelight. He said that his identical twin was a bit of a c* so maybe this is why half of you have had a good experience of him and the other half had an unfortunate encounter with his evil twin.

You all got off lightly, we were on location and David fed my foot to a lion

The guy that played Beppi de Marco in Eastenders was starying at the same hotel as us. Going back 20 years here. There was a pool table in the basement bar and we were playing a game. He strutted in with a few
mates and expected us to let him have the table. We told him where to go. Then the next morning at breakfast as we were leaving the dining room at the end of service they walked in and expected to be served even though breakfast had finished. Vile man.

Mark owen (Take That), paid for my coffee at a train station when my card declined. Chatted for a while about his kids, very smiley and just lovely. Ever so polite

Oh, another one. Have had the pleasure of being shoved past by Gemma Collins in a Towie bar in Romford...

She really shoved past me (VIP area) and gave me a filthy look.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 25/10/2022 14:19

Dean Gaffney (Robbie in EE) used to be well known in a town/city where I grew up for getting off with loads of local women and having sex with them. Super sleaze.

My ex said that Charlie Brooks blanked him in his health club, said he'd met Alex Reid the cage fighter and he was lovely.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 25/10/2022 14:20

Friend of mine has served and chatted with Katie Price in a gay pub and said she was lovely, charming.

meatyryvita · 25/10/2022 15:38

I was lucky enough to meet Rory McCann (drool), Timothy Dalton, and Jim Broadbent at a pub in Wells whilst they were filming Hot Fuzz. They were having dinner with some of the other actors (not Simon Pegg) and were incredibly lovely and chatty. Top blokes, all of them.

The best reply I've heard of is 'Hey lads, this chap doesn't know who he is'.

I once sat near Ellen MacArthur on a train. It was not long after her record-breaking around the world exploits, which I'd followed closely. I'd even been one of the many people sending her regular encouraging emails. Although I admired her (we are about the same age and size and the only significant thing I'd done that year was have a baby!) she was happily sitting in standard class with nobody paying her any attention. I guessed that was what she would prefer and decided to leave her alone.

I'm a dead ringer for a well-known celebrity and I take great delight in behaving like a complete dick when approached by the public.

It blows my mind every day that this woman is famous. For what?? Taking up oxygen?

So it was you, not David Attenborough?

What a relief!

So the "have a go at Meghan M" brigade take over the thread. Just a matter of time, I guess.

Just unnecessary!

WrongSortOfPoster · 25/10/2022 19:02

@RedDwarfGarbagePod , I can't tell you who, because it would out me, but I'm not called the Baby-Faced Hassassin for nothing.

Mswarrior77 · 25/10/2022 19:56

Ricky from eastenders ran over my foot in asda brighton 🤣🤣🤣 he was lovely and apologised repeatedly!
Don't know his name,but he was in casualty for awhile as a paramedic and he & his wife were in b&q and stood next to me & dh and politely asked if he could use dhs tape measure,spoke about he was doing up the baby's room 🥰
Chris Ellison is well known in asda brighton marina,would see him often in there,bit hit & miss if he was nice.
Dh would see bianca (eastenders) often walking her dog,she was always nice.

Floatyunicorn · 25/10/2022 20:25

Tyrone from coronation street and his girlfriend who used to be in it (i think she was called steph)
In our local bowling alley, seemed very up thenselves and asked for a wider lane..... they ended up moving a kids birthday party for them 🙄

I see someone has already drawn attention to this but please don't name the Duchess of Sussex on this type of thread because, as most of us realise, negative comments about her are always inspired by a fundamental racism.

Don't be ridiculous. If someone is not nice, they are not nice, end of.
If that were the case no person of colour who had met Jimmy Saville would be allowed to say he was a cunt, because of reverse racism. Please don't say such a thing doesnt exist.

I didn't meet Bob Geldof, but walked past him in Chiswick, many years ago, and he cheerfully said hello to me, asked me how I was. I hadn't noticed him walking towards me, so it took me but surprise!

I was in Harrods when Paula Yates was there with her very young children at the time, and FiFi went missing. She started panicking and I've never seen security move so fast. She was asking for the store to be closed until FiFi was found, but she wasn't diva'ish about it, just pleading.

I was in a café and Paul Weller passed me as I was walking out. He held the door for me and said hello.

Met Fiona Philips and was really surprised at how pretty she is, which doesn't come across on camera. She seemed like a good egg.

I met John Barry, and he was fine. I know he had a bit of a rep.

Met Donny Osmond. Very warm and kind.

I've met a few through the work I used to do.
