Any famous celebrities live in your own area? For me it has to be Donovan who lives just outside Mallow here in North Cork in Ireland. any time I go into the pub in Mallow - The Hi-b bar or my local Tescos he is in there.He still plays gigs in Ireland and America and has just released a new album and is an all round nice guy to talk to.

Do they have to be musical celebs? if not then i live oposite Blaster Bates, for those who dont know him he's like Fred Dibner but he knocks down chimneys with dinamite. He also has relesed a couple of albums in the seventees with him talking on about his comical experiances.

Madonna and Guy ritchie used to but when they were there you would never see them.

seen jameila around my area.

Beckingham Palace is only a couple of miles away from my house.. and I pass by the the place by train twice a day going to and from work (their house is huuuuuge)

Don Brennan from Coronation Street.

Anthony Minghella used to live on the Island. Celia Imrie (Calendar Girls) lives in Cowes, as does Kenneth Kendall (Treasure Hunt).

Tommy Cannon lives quite close to me.

The worlds greatest percussionist Ray Cooper lives around here (can be seen most Sat mornings in a couple of the local shops) as did John Cooper Clark the "punk" poet - but not seen him about for some time.

The late Joan Hickson (TV's Miss Marple) lived in the next village until she passed away - but thats not a musical celebrity.

Oh yes - Nelson, the bass player with New Model Army (they're still going) often plays with other musicians in my local pub.

erm...Jane McDonald...

I saw Judi Dench near where i live a few weeks ago. I was quite shocked really, i guess she must have a holiday home or something nearby. Was quite chuffed to see a proper celeb though especially where i live....

Baby Spice woman (can't remember her name) lives just down the road. Various footballers and ex-footballers lurk around the place, Gary Mabbett, Martin Chivers, Dennis Berkamp the ones I can think of.

Kirsty Crawford and Lee Otter went to my school and Ricky Butcher lived temporarily in my town but he came accross as a bit arrogant to fellow townsmen! I am also friends with a band called Dark Revolution who have just singned a record contract so theres a band to listen out for in the future if there are any punks/rockers/metal heads in the house...

i've seen ian hislop (from have i got news for you) in the local shop and waiting for a train in staplehurst

Don Brennan is a legend :P

No, really, he is.

Robert Plant has a house round here I think

George Michael, Boy George, Richard & Judy, Jonathan Ross, Nick Mason, Jamie Oliver, Helena Bonham-Carter, John Le Carre, to name but a few near-ish neighbours.

One of the guys from Showaddy Waddy lives near me and owns a club. Can't remember his name though. Thats the best I can do!

William Roach (Ken Barlow) & Robert Lindsay were both born and brought up in my home town.

ashley from corrie usually see him in mr smiths our local nightclub erm kerry katona is known to reside round here well her mum does. oh pete waterman lives about 20mins drive from ma area in the same town.

I currently live quite need to Cannock Chase... quite popular with a certain local ex footballer for it's... err... *cough* woodland nightlife *cough*

I used to live in Liverpool, and used to see the Hollyoaks cast a lot. The guys used to slum it in my local chippy, and bumped into the girls at the local cinema.

Ashley in a night club.. not a sight i'd believe in until I seen it :P

Bradley of former S Club 7 fame used to go to my high school. He left the year before I got there though.

You mean they lurked round her place or just lurking in general?

Alistair Griffin is the best I can do. Living here not lurking that is.

You lucky person. Want to swap homes?

umm...well Gareth Gates lives in my city...although he isn't really famous anymore, is he?! lol...I have come across his sister quite a few times but never actually bumped in to him on my travels..!
