To think I've peaked after spotting three celebs in one day??!

[Fancyflorist]

On a work trip to London today. I spotted:

Hugo Taylor (MIC OG) this morning on the street near Liverpool Street station

James Acaster (comedian) coming out of Liverpool Street station at the end of the working day, AND

(Most excitingly for me) Marina Hyde with her husband, running for a train at Paddington Station!

I’m not even a massive celeb-spotter usually, but this was a personal record. AIBU to think this is peak and it’s all downhill from here?

Can anyone beat that? What's your best day of unexpected celeb sightings?

I once shared a sauna with Josie Gibson. She was absolutely lovely & very down to earth. My dd & I then saw her in the changing rooms

Agreed!

M&S in Handforth Dean used to be THE place to spot Coronation Street and the odd Hollyoaks actors. I remember driving really slowly along the main street in Wilmslow trying to look in my mirror at David Beckham driving behind me.

Nope. Not heard of any of them

Exactly this! Though we did see Sandi Toksvig on a barge once. That was v exciting.

Someone I know mixes with loads of slebs. He's met the Le Bons and said Yasmin was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.

Ok so Rolf Harris aside, I have googled them and still not really any the wiser.

They’re barely ‘celebs’ - I mean Marina brings up ‘Guardian columnist’ which is not really celebrity status is it - especially with the absolute shite they’ve been writing recently.

I wouldn’t know who they are so I may have inadvertently seen them too! 🙈🤣

Didn’t it say who she was when you googled her then?

I was thinking exactly this!

Never heard of them

That’s exactly what my colleague said about Yasmin.

I saw Cliff Richard and Van Morrison walking down a back street in Dublin once, deep in conversation. Do I win??

Why would people Google randoms they’ve never heard of just because a stranger on MN saw them from afar?

When and how?

Oh! I did the sauna thing with Rosemary Leach. Wanted to ask for her autograph but being naked neither of us had pens!

I know who Marina Hyde is but I don’t think I’d recognise her if I saw her! No idea who the other two are!

It’s always fun when you spot someone you love. Hope you had a fun day in London today, OP!

The girlfriend was the actress who played Kate in the Windsors

I don’t know who the men you mention are.
i know who marina hyde is but no idea what she looks like!

Wasn’t Marina Hyde with Boris at one point or have I imagined that? Apologies to her if I have!

I once saw Susan Boyle in Bathgate Tesco does that count

i also went to school with Nina Nesbitt

Mark Addy, Mr Bloom and Seasick Steve. Oh and Troy Harris and ex Soap Stars at every Xmas/ NY Panto at Bridlington for the past 5 years or so!🤩

That was Marina Wheeler

Are we only defining celebrities if Nomas had heard of them?

Some great celebrity spotting here, I can't deny that a fair few are slightly more ahem high profile than my offering....

In respect of all you querying whether Marina Hyde is in fact a celebrity, I'm very tempted to submit that to her as a question on her podcast. She would probably say no too 😆
