Sophie eliis bextor was lovley took time for all that had waited for her after her show she is also stunning in the flesh .
Anthony stewart head very polite and friendly
Lizzy cundy hardly a celeb but she comes into the place i work and is very polite but always wears her sunglasses inside which annoys me lol
Also met christina aguilera she is amazing she knows whats going on at the drop of a hat she knows what she wants and how she wants it done but is very appreciative once things are done. Her staff and crew seemed to genuinly liker her to . though i wouldnt want to get on the wrong side of her
My friends husband is a chauffaur the only celeb he found rude was kelly rowland she was a hour late and so she went on to miss her flight and acted like a mardy cow the rest of the journey espesh when he wouldnt park the car where she wanted him to as it was illigal to park there she also seemed to think he was her servant .
I met Kathy Griffin once when she did her stand up over here last year. I won meet and greet tickets with my ex bf. She was wonderful. She is so lovely and funny and catty. she signed anything and everything we threw at her (not literally) and she decided to sign our "home made" t-shirts my ex made. She wrote "SUCK IT!" Love Kathy Griffin on them. She gave hugs and kisses and really surprised me. Being a fan I know she can be a bit B.I.T.C.H.Y but I know she loves her gays too. She also does a lot of charity work.
You lucky sod!
I am absolutely going to try to meet her next time she's over here. There's no way I would have chance in LA.
Glad you had a good experience - Your story kind of reminded me of the bit she told in one of her specials about when she met Celine Dion haha!
I hope you called her a 'Crazie Biatch' in Kathy's epic Cher voice too haha.
Anthony Newley - top man
Joan Collins - always friendly and charming
Eric Morcambe - quieter than you would imagine, could be a bit tetchy
Ernie Wise - warm, great company
Bruce Forsythe - thoroughly professional yet friendly, didn't suffer fools gladly
Lulu - sparky and lively. good fun
Cilla Black - World's biggest snob
More Recently:
Alesha Dixon - really genuine, warm and funny personality. Probably too nice for her own good.
Lulu - people change
Len Goodman - has a very high opinion of himself
Paul Daniels - much nicer person than many people seem to think
Terry Wogan - developed a right ego
Don't know if you can really call them proper celebrities but Dick and Dom. They did a DJing set at a nightclub at my uni. Lets just say that Dick lived up to his name..very rude and when fans would try and interact with them he just completely blanked us and kept downing his whiskey and cokes and demanding that people in the club buy him drinks. He also refused any photos, very stuck up his own arse. Dom was a little better and had more interaction with fans but wasn't much of a people pleaser
I met Biffy Clyro at a record signing back in 2008 as they were just making it big. They seemed like genuinely great guys, really down to Earth and talkative with their fans. I got a bit overexcited though. Haha.

Not met exactly, but my chap used to be a chef at a restaurant where Zara Phillips and Mike Tyndall used to eat regularly, the staff said they were always lovely. Her father however was not so nice when it was pointed out that his dog was not allowed in the restaurant area - he gave the 'do you know who I am' speech
Met Suzi Quatro - shes absolutely lovely, got a photo and I got her autograph. I'm a massive Quatro fan, and was totally starstruck, and she asked if I was okay because I could barely talk. I told her I was a bit nervous about meeting her, and she gave me a hug.
Was also surprised about how short she was, and how great her arse looks, especially in ripped jeans. Also, she looked quite 'motherly', I'm not sure if that's the right word.
I also "spoke" to the lead singer of La Roux, didn't 'meet her' as such, she was performing in a relatively small open-air amphitheater here in Perth (West Australia) and we had a storm, which in turn had strong winds that blew a big screen down onto the stage, nearly hitting the drummer. Anyway, she just continued, came into the audience and asked for jokes. Again, I got a bit starstruck, and I wanted to tell a slightly-blue joke, (although the person before unfortunately ruined it by telling a racist joke about our Indigenous population - luckily, I'm not sure she knew what an "Abo" was), but all that came out was "Why did the lobster blush? Cos 'it saw the ship's bottom). She kinda groaned, the audience booed, and then she laughed.
Also, not sure if they're known back home in the UK, but I met Katie Noonan and Kate Miller-Heidke at a Cyndi Lauper concert.
Kate Miller-Heidke is a bit of a diva, not very interested in the little people, and I think a bit shitty that she wasn't the headline act.
Katie Noonan, however, was absolutely delightful - she asked about my name (it's an Irish one that's common in Ireland but not elsewhere), and seemed genuinely interested, asked if I was excited about seeing Cyndi, and seemed genuinely happy when I said that I thought she was fantastic. Made a bit of a faux pas, though, as I said I hadn't really heard her music much before, but she laughed it off, and I said that I'd be getting her albums. But so down-to-earth, and I've seen her in interviews and she is just as lovely.
I also shouted "I bloody love you" to Cyndi Lauper and she said she loved me too, bless her, and I got a wave and a smile from Deborah Harry when I shouted, "I bloody love you" to her. My mate also did the Sound Teching for the Blondie show, and apparently Debbie is a really cool chick.
Also saw Jeremy Beadle in Blackpool Pleasure Beach when I was very young, he was waiting for the same ride as us. Dad whispered in my ear it was Jeremy Beadle, and I couldn't stop staring. Then I said, quite loudly, "Dad, are those two men his boyfriends?".
Needless to say, Beadle didn't end up going on the ride. Quick exit.
I spotted Su Pollard in my local theatre when she was playing Miss Hannigan in Annie, chased her down and in a terribly starstruck voice said 'we love you Su' she replied with a 'what was that dahling'? so i said with a trembly voice 'we love you Su'. She put her hand on my chest and said 'thank you sweetheart'. My partner was hiding behind a pillar.
I met Julian Clary some years ago at a local uni where he was doing a gig. I was walking from the library and he asked for directions to the main hall. We chatted for a few moments. He was very polite, tall, good looking actually, rather shy and funny, too. Didn't see him on Celebrity Big Brother but I'm not surprised that he won. Seemed like a nice bloke.
David Beckham must be one of the nicest, most genuine celebrities in our country judging by the posts here, and I'm going to add another positive one!
I met him a few years ago through work. I knew I was going to meet him and expected not to like him - I thought his public image as a nice bloke was just a PR scam. But I admit he charmed me and everyone else, spent time talking to people, and winning everyone over, and I got my picture taken with him and it is still on the wall at my home to this day!
I've met him too - absolute legend in my eyes! Granted many wouldn't consider him a 'celebrity' but he's been on TV a fair bit, and the work he does puts him well above most famous people IMO.
Quite a few years ago I met Simon King, the wildlife presenter/film-maker and he's a really lovely guy.
I met all of the band Athlete after a gig in 2009 and they all signed a CD for me - again they were very friendly and seemed touched that I'd waited to meet them, especially Joel (the singer).
Also met Editors after a gig the same year and again they came across as really down-to-earth, their third album had just gone to #1 as well. They seemed to really appreciate comments on the gig.
Finally, I've also been lucky enough to meet quite a few people from Dancing On Ice including Hayley Tammadon, Suzanne Shaw, Clare Buckfield, Daniel Whiston, Matt Evers, Michael Zenezini (before he was on DOI though!), Nina Ulanova & Katie Stainsby. Again, all really nice people and happy to take some time to sign an autograph and have a quick chat. Katie was particularly talkative - I do find it a bit awkward approaching people, so it really helps when they actually talk to me and ask if you enjoyed a show, etc.
Jeremy is nice however watch the keepers they appear nice on tv but in reality are nasty,they hate visitors
A few year ago I was on a flight to Las Vegas and Richard Dreyfuss was on board in 1st class. Unfortunately their toilets were broken and they were using the ones in cattle class. Several people came through the cabin without a fuss, apart from Mr D who had two cabin crew in front of him and two behind acting as chaperones in case us plebs dared to try and talk to him.
I spotted Su Pollard in my local theatre when she was playing Miss Hannigan in Annie, chased her down and in a terribly starstruck voice said 'we love you Su' she replied with a 'what was that dahling'? so i said with a trembly voice 'we love you Su'.

But she's not lesbian!
anyone who gets paid thousands for a charity event is not a decent person.
You wouldn't have like Jimmy Savile, then, given he said he always charged at least five figures per public appearance.
I'd imagine not all public appearances were charity events.
I officially hate you

I get the impression he will be a lovely bloke, I'm jealous !
I'm nervous! Ever been interviewed by anyone for tv least of all someone I really like!
let us know how it went !
