    I appeared at the High Courts of Justice in London and was sued by Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd and Creation Records, facing the same solicitors that just stitched George Michael up for millions in the case beforehand, and received some subsequent column inches in the tabloids afterwards.

    I was on Page 3 in the story next to Jo Guest. Although now I think about it, that was to do with Pringles and not the story above...!

    Helen Worth said I had a pretty name

    My boss said Frank Carson wanted to meet and thank me for a good event, so I went over and chatted for 10 minutes to a random guest with thick rimmed glasses and an Irish accent

    (Do I win??)

    It was at Great Ormond ST.I was waiting for my son to have an op.It was running 5 hours late because of all the security and he was very distressed,being autistic.

    Prince Charles said "I bet you will be glad when we go"

    to which i replied "Yes i will,he was meant to have his operation ages ago,and i couldnt get back onto the ward earlier because of your security.your security had no right"

    Not very rude,but still.
    I was cross though :o

    Someone in my maths class is Peter Mullan's nephew.

    He was on The Fear all of last week so any time I went into Maths I'd be like "I saw your uncle on my tele last night"

    The former team GB cyclist and Olympian, Rob Hayles, was a mate of mine at school. He is a thoroughly decent bloke too.

    My younger brother was friends with Michael McIntyre at school until he moved away.

    I met Frankie Coccoza on my birthday last year and had a lovely photo taken with him, much to the embarrassment of my husband.

    I once interviewed Sooty & Sweep for a magazine article and got the full on water pistol treatment.

    In 2007 I won the Teddy Bear Times Teddy Bear Artist of the Year Award.

    I once made a commissioned teddy bear for Billy Connolly.

    In 2009 I went on a charity trek in Romania to a Bear Sanctuary and met Rosie Marcel (Dr Jak from Holby City).

    Sadly, none of the above events made Heat magazine. :D
