I always find with 'popular' celebrities it's not them themselves that are the problem but their security. I was stood next to Jessie J with a huge crowd around, she was trying to talk to us but her security practically pushed her into the awaiting vehicle. She did manage to sign a few things off a few girls and shout stuff to us all bless her. If it wasn't for her security I'm sure she'd of stood and talked to us all. Similarly with James Corden at his book signing. A lovely guy who was genuinely nice, kept asking if I was alright, and other random questions but the security were telling him he couldn't have photos and that he needed to stop talking for as long.
Nicest Celebrity I've met is Samantha Janus/Womack. I've met her 11 times now and every time she's been lovely, very warm and bubbly towards you (hugs and kisses constantly). She would happily natter to you for ages, and has done quite a few of the times I've met her. Even when she's in a rush she'll have a quick chat, pose for photos and sign anything. She's had me in stitches numerous times. Pleasant celeb to meet and when she's chatting to you you'd never think she was a celebrity.
I used to go autograph hunting in the late 80's to 2000. I met Steve McFadden, Emlyn Hughes and Tony Pitts (Archie in Emmerdale) at a charity football match and they were really nice especially Tony who gave me his medal from it. Kevin Keegan is lovely and he gave me a cuddle, Peter Beardsley,Ian Rush and Rik Mayall were also nice. We didn't like Adam Woodyatt as he was impatient.

I know people who have worked in security, and it's usually the case that the celeb will look like they want to stay but the security will bundle them away and look like the bad guys. The celeb is the one in control.
Really? I've only ever worked with her on radio, and I found her to be exceptionally nice...
Really? That is nice to hear. However a good friend of mine in TV production and who I trust (and has no axe to grind) does say that MF has a reputation for being difficult.
Yesterday we visited Brentwood in (my daughter's) hope of meeting TOWIE people, lol. Went into Harry's World and met Harry Derbridge who was incredibly friendly, really lovely and happily posed for photos, what a sweetheart No sign of other TOWIE people in their shops though
Then happened to see Alex Reid coming out of MacDonalds, he also posed for a photo but seemed in a real rush and not especially friendly, but then suppose he didn't want his lunch to get cold, lol

I can't ever imagine ever wanting to meet two people less
To be honest I find people who ask for autographs a bit naff. So you've got a hastily written signature on a piece of paper. Well done. Why not say something interesting to the target instead if you have make contact?
It's no more odd than those who want to cover their limbs or bodies with tattoos that can never be removed totally. To each his or her own.

So it's true! The streets of Essex are paved with zelebs!
Jason Donovan was exceptionally rude when I met him at a radio station last year. I was there as part of my Uni course and he came in for an interview- not only did his press agent forward a ridiculously long list to our production team regarding questions they weren't allowed to ask, he also rang ahead to cancel a meet and greet with some of his "superfans" (most of whom had been waiting at the station for a very long time)
Came into the studio in giant sunglasses and a hat. Didn't smile or talk to anyone until he went on air when, surprise surprise, he became Mr Personality.

I saw a picture in the paper and he looks fat and a bit raddled, I dont know whether he really is a bit of a loose cannon with his fists as his last wife suggested and am some how intrigued to know

He looks awful in person. When I first saw him I genuinely thought "god, that homeless bloke looks just like SB...." before realising "oh. It is SB". I used to have such a crush on him back in the day as well, but - yuk. He doesn't seem all that savoury. Walked past him once outside a pub, he was just effing and blinding away. Re: wife - 4th wife isn't it? "Volatile relationship"? Hmm.

I used to fancy her, around 1990/1

But I was talking about the people who want an autograph in the first place. It's a weird mentality.

Each to their own!
It's about wanting the handwriting of someone that's famous. It's fair enough if you wouldn't want one, but others would though.

I'm not saying they are the two people I most wanted to meet in the world either, but we just happened to be in the same place

Not nice folks.....Never kiss and tell....
That's disappointing
I haven't met him, but I see him around quite a lot. He's not looking great these days, tbh - you can tell he's a bit of a boozer.
