An American friend of mine dated The Hoff back when he used to drink a lot. She said he used to invite her over to his house whilst he got ready, then stick on a DVD of one of his concerts for her to watch whilst he was in the shower or whatever. Unsurprisingly, the relationship didn't last
You're joking right? That sounds like something out of a sketch show rather than something that actually happens 😂
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (went to school with her). Also met Dawn French and Lenny Henry when they were a couple back in Dawn's homeland (which happens to mine too!).
I've bumped into Joe Pasquale three times on a train and all three times he looked depressed - the third time he was carrying a bin liner filled with stuff.
Back in 1995, I was presented with an award and shaken hands with Mike Elliott (boxing coach in the film Billy Elliot).
In 2002, I have shaken hands with Lord (David) Putnam during my graduation ceremony. He was Chancellor of the University of Sunderland at the time.
I walked past Paddy McDee from BBC Look North / Radio Newcastle when he was presenting for the Peterlee Gala quite a number of years ago.
Got a lovely email from Tyne Tees Weatherman Bob Johnson.
My mum met Gary Lineker quite a few times. He sometimes visited the Walker's Crisp Factory in Peterlee and my mum showed him around. I have a photo of my mum with Gary.
My Gran knew Ridley Scott very well as is from South Shields, near to where my Gran lived.
Quite a few politicians: Tony Benn, Michael Foot, Ken Livingstone, Mo Mowlem, Denis Healey, James Callaghan and, by way of redressing the balance, Kenneth (now Lord) Baker.
Met David Essex in Debenhams in Oxford Street. He was looking at lampshades.
Regularly see Arthur Brown and Mark Williams, as they both live in the same town as me. They're both very nice, and Mark Williams always stops to say hello to the dogs if they're with me.
i presume by 'met' you mean talked too as opposed to seeing in the street..
well here in derby you dont often bump into celebs! lol
my claim to fame (which isnt very impressive) is meeting edwina curry..... she was the local mp in the late 80's and visited my open garden.
other then that, ive worked for geofrey boswell..... lol.. naturalist who had a tv seriese in the 70's.
and i know a composer of musical scores, whos work includes the music for bbc tv's 'galapagos'.
oh, just remembered...i met 'agnes' off bbcs 'the village' last year, local girl chloe harris, so if she makes it 'big' in the future then im claiming it!
Not me personally, but my parents have met with, and effectively dined with, the Queen. My Dad was in the Foreign Office and we were living abroad, the Queen was doing one of her visits and that's how that happened.
My Dad's played jazz piano with several famous (in the world of jazz) people - Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth are two I can recall, I'm not a big fan of the genre so I can't recall other names.
I go to loads of TV show recordings and get to speak to many of the "stars" and I think the most famous (in my eyes) has to be Liza Minelli when she was performing on the alan titchmarsh show a while back.
My second favourite is Anthony Daniels who was very nice and it's great to see he is going to be famous again.

Yes :kitty:
Tracy Emin
Chris Martin
A cousin of mine worked as a crotch consultant on the recently made spiderman film.
In other words, the 'in-crowd'!
or Tracy Barlow - Kate Ford, Den Watts Eastenders, Mandy Dingle Emmerdale, Jamie Baldwin.
To be fair, if you go to Premier League football games you see about 40 famous people straight off
David Attenborough
Gillian Anderson, though we never spoke

Although He didn't say anything and blended into the background really well, actually you would hardly think He was there at all.
