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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
