    I went to a pub in Islington in 2008 where they were having a stand up comedy night. Spider from Coronation Street was there. I thought he was going to be one of the acts but it turned out he was working behind the bar.

    Really! I thought the actor had actually managed to grab a decent plethora of work after leaving the show.

    I was walking along the pavement one day and I saw Shirley in the gutter with a bottle of meths. I suppose, on reflection, it wasn't that unusual.

    Was it Lily's Bordello by any chance? I think that's where celebs tend to hang out.

    Is Lily's still going? Doubt he'd be in there, I emigrated 10 years ago and it was already scraping the bottom of the barrel to end up in Lily's.

    Back on topic - I see Rula Lenska in Chiswick Sainsburys most Sundays. Shes usually wearing a massive 1980s jumper over skintight black leggings and leg-warmers...she manages to carry it off though!

    Often have a pint with Jerk Armstrong-Windass and Jerseph Armstrong-Brown. No one is parenting either of them lately so it does 'em good to head down the pub for a swift couple after a hard days graft.

    Last year my sister, brother in law and I went to visit Edinburgh Castle and we saw Craig Gazey (Graeme from Corrie) there with whom I assume was his girlfriend! :D

    My brother in law especially was the most excited out of the three of us and wanted to take a picture with him, whether he did in the end I'm not sure I'm going to have to ask him next time I see him. :)

    In the film the Buisness Shirley Carters character says to Danny Dyers character 'I'd pay a grand to shag you' or words to that effect.

    Also saw Bruce Jones in Portugal. Janice and Katy CS in the Trafford Centre (not at the same time).

    Spotted Steve McFadden walking around Huddersfield in 2004, when he left EastEnders for a year when i was at Uni, thought i must be more drunk than i thought as i had, had a bit to drink but it turns out he was opening a nightclub that night in Huddersfield.

    I also saw Chaz from Emmerdale in Toys R Us when i worked there with her daughter, she was all dressed in black as usual and looked as miserable as sin, also saw Brenda from Emmerdale there as well she was lovely and Bob's daughter Dawn in Emmerdale she was wearing a scarf over her face as well as sunglasses and was trying not to be seen though nobody actually seemed to be that interested in her anyway and it was years after she left the show. Also once saw the lad who played TJ from Emmerdale at the hairdressers at the end of the road were i live with his Mum and Dad who was ill, it was just before the fire that killed Terry and Viv and the hairdressers were trying to find out what was going to happen but he didn't say a word.

    Emmerdale stars seem to follow me and my family around as my sister saw Alicia outside a nightclub in Leeds earlier this year and my sister was let in as a VIP as she knew the bouncer but Alicia thought the bouncer was letting her in as she was a soap star, apparently she gave her a right death stare later on in the club. She has also seen Jimmy and Carl King out and about in Leeds when she was on her dinner hour from work.

    Not sure if I mentioned it already but I spotted Charlie Hardwick crossing Lothian Road in Edinburgh with a group of female pals, about three years ago. I also saw Ian Reddington (Corrie's Vernon) in the Playhouse Bar, Edinburgh. Lovely guy.

    Seems quite a few people have spotted CS's Graham (Craig Gazey) out and about!

    He walked past me at Glastonbury festival one year, then earlier this year I saw him running the London Marathon!

    I once saw Sandy from ED go into M&S in Leeds. And quite a few years I saw the actress who used to play Emily in ED in my local shopping centre, then later a supermarket.
