I haven't personally but I know a couple of people that have and from what I remember were not very complimentry about him i'm afraid. He's always appears to be ranting and raving about something or slagging someone off.
On a lighter note, my sister met Shaking Stevens at the Blackpool Winter Gardens in the eighties and he was really happy to pose with fans and sign autographs. Always struck me as a down to earth man. |

My friend was working on Saturday and had an experience with Greg Wallace from Masterchef. Staff were told beforehand not to speak directly to him, he was very rude and arrogant and pushed past people without saying "excuse me" etc. My friend had to personally serve him and instead of Greg talking to him he just kept pointing at him or things and shouting words instead of sentences to demand what he wanted. He called/referred to people by their attributes or what they were wearing instead of their names. He said he was a complete tosspot and he was very close to punching him for the way he was treating everyone. Complete knobhead!

I saw texas on Friday and the security before were saying how much of a bitch Sharleen is, NO! she is so bloody funny and so appreciative of the crowd. She interacted really well with the crowd aswell. And she did not mind having photos taken either.
I met Sue Perkins once, I was 15 now thinking of it she was a bit offish. Mel was lovely but I would love to meet Sue now and see how she is. She is always lovely on twitter. |

I agree about the posters who've said not to base your opinion on a celebrity from one persons encounter.
I think some people see celebrities as robots and not actually human. They have feelings just like us (shock horror) and I will bet my last £1 that you and I have had days were we're miserable and have to go out to work or whatever, it doesn't make you a bad person. We all have off days. |

"where was this supposed to have occurred ?" " I have no recollection of being served by anyone on Saturday. Also have no idea of whom I was supposed to be addressing." " in fact my only interaction with the public was at a book signing. Sat eve I was at The Ivy." Seems your "friend" might have some explaining to do at his bookstore / The Ivy.... |

Met James Cracknell today. Nice bloke, quite good sense of humour but a bit rambling.

I met Gregg when he came to my place of work for a little preso. Friendly and very funny. But it was in a "corporate" surrounding.

I think I have read posts on here about Sean Tully- he really is a nasty nasty person and there is no nice side about him. Really horrible and treats people like shit.

Simon Rimmer - Sunday Brunch
I met Simon Rimmer today at a cooking exhibition. He was very good with the crowd and stayed behind afterwards to talk to everyone and sign autographs. He was particularly good with the kids. Top bloke

Has anyone met Axl Rose? From a lot of accounts he is supposed to be obnoxious, but I'd love to hear otherwise.
On a more contemporary note, woman at work met David Tennant when he was filming an episode of Doctor Who and said he was lovely and willing to talk to the fans. |

Rick Wakeman was just an ordinary bloke, but charming and funny.

A google search says that he was supposedly at the Good Food Show on Saturday as a celebrity chef. Maybe the other poster's friend was working there or at a nearby hotel, if it is true. Definitely will be interesting to see how this one pans out...
*Shrugs* No excuse for blatant rudeness, though. However, if it's just one other person's interpretation, it makes you wonder about a possible personality clash. |
