    Lucy Speed from EE and The Bill stayed at the same hotel as me in Cuba about 9yrs ago. she was there pretty much the same length of time as me and i kept seeing her around the pool and in the bar etc, she never looked particularly smiley despite being with quite a nice looking black bloke.

    Sheree Murphy, last week in Dubai, got in our lift and her mum leant against the floor buttons so we stopped at every stage from the 12th down. She was very apologetic though.

    He had just retired from boxing and was doing a DJ set on the island. I literally walked into the back of him.

    When take that were around in the 90s I saw Gary Barlow in San Francisco.

    My parents and I walked past Anthony Edwards in central park in new york, I didn't notice him but my parents were big ER fans so were quite excited. We all loved Dr Green!

    Never met any though, I never feel right disturbing people if they're going about their day.

    I haven't but my friend was in the same taverna as Johnny Depp and his family in Kefalonia. She said they were completely inconspicuous. There was no enterage, no bodyguards and they were just a normal family having dinner.

    I saw Bernard Cribbins (of Dr Who and Carry On films) at the Central Station Newcastle about 10 years ago, when I was a student. :)

    It wasn't exactly a holiday, but I was away from home. :p

    Elton John and his now husband in California back in 2000. He walked straight past us, not even acknowledging the fact we tried talking to him.

    Actor Richard Wilson at The Louvre in Paris a few years ago.
    No, I did not go up to him and say "I don't believe it!"

    Many years ago went ski-ing to Austria and Ian Hislop was in the queue at the airport. Then he got on the same transfer coach and yep stayed in the same hotel. He was with his family and one afternoon, while at the kids tea his kids threw a total strop HAH ! Later saw his kids in the street and took their picture. Does this make me a stalker :confused::eek:

    Oh and on the Monday night there was some sort of audience participation/improv entertainment... Ian was nowhere to be seen :( Chicken :eek:

    As much as I'd love to say something like seeing Madonna jogging in central park back in the 80's it's sadly no true.

    No celebrity encounters for me but some here sound very interesting :P

    My aunt and I saw Julie Walters in a tearoom in Jersey. She was with a young woman, maybe her daughter. My aunt's a big fan and was trying to tell JW how brilliant she is but JW was having none of it! She was really down to earth and lovely, and she recommended a nice restaurant for dinner.

    I once saw the late, great actor Michael Gough, on a clifftop walk with his wife in Cornwall. I was always a great fan of his horror work and wanted to tell him so, but didn't want to disturb him. Now he's gone, I wish I had.

    And one evening, also in Cornwall but a different year, my Mum and Dad were talking for ages to a very interesting man who knew a lot about animals and was making a huge fuss of our dog. I wish I'd joined in more, instead of messing about with whatever I was doing, because we later found out that it was Gerald Durrell.
