I would love to be friends with Emma Kenny - I find her absolutely fascinating.

I swear there was an identical thread last week? I said Stacey Solomon.

I used to work with famous people and now I would cross the road to avoid most celebrities.

Except JK Rowling, she is fabulous.

What did you do?

My friend is a local journalist and has interviewed him a couple of times. Said he's an absolute delight.

Lisa Tarbuck - my husband knows her and she really is genuine.

But I can't believe people buy into the personalities they see on the TV - these people are putting on an act, a front - it's a professional job!

Why on earth do you imagine they are anything like that in real life?

One who's been mentioned (rhymes with Candy Socksbig) was a horrendous bully at school. OK, people might possibly change, but that would put me off hugely.

I like different friends for different things

Kate Middleton for loyalty, discretion and what is quite clearly steely grit and determination. And to share hair secrets with.

Jennifer Lawrence to go out with and do the butty run the day with.

Adele as a school Mum.

Dave Grohl. The stories! And he seems like such a down to earth guy

Id have been gutted if he proved to be a complete jerk. He comes across as so genuine and kind as well as fair and wise. Plus funny too. I just imagine he’s be a wonderful friend.

At his best a great laugh - at his worst a vulnerable sweetheart

We could all be friends together. We would have the best times. 😁

I’m sure people are fully aware that celebrities aren’t necessarily the same in real life. The thread’s only a bit of fun.

If you want us to pick from celebrities we’ve actually met properly and got on well with, though, I’ll say Bill Bailey, Julian Clary, Sadiq Khan and Stacey Solomon.
