Omid Djalili was at my uni earlier in the year filming for The One Show, lovely guy, very down to earth. I didn't realize how tiny he is in real life, he always looks taller on television than he is! Funny and easy to talk to. Spoke to everyone and would have stayed on longer only he had to rush to the airport to catch his flight.

You sometimes see Prince Naseem the ex boxer around meadowhall in Sheffield, surprisingly he is always gracious and will always chat and sign stuff.

Jessica Ennis, complete bitch, until a film crew is around, then she likes signing autographs

Seriously? I've never heard anyone have a bad word to say about her before.

My daughters school used to frequent the institute of sport in sheffield gym she went to, whenever she was walking out, she'd tell the kids she was too busy to speak to them.

We met her at a comic relief event, and when the cameras started rolling she then wanted to sign autographs, when they went back to the studio, she stopped and walked off.

Seen her numerous times, and never had a smile nor a willingness to even have a picture taken.

My cousin met Jimmy Nail when he was at the height of his Auf Pet fame, a totally, down to earth, amusing celeb who was happy to talk to his fans.
However, I don't get all this Paul O Grady hate on here. He strikes me as quite an amusing, caring person and brilliant on the radio and his dogs show.

I didn't notice a lot of POG hate on here as the one person who met him said beforehand they were looking forward to meeting him and weren't disapointed when they did. Any dislike of him I can only attribute to him being mates with Cilla Black who is a complete cow by almost every account of her not just here but on a cabin crew site about celeb encounters and other sources.

The thing is that at the end of the day you've got to eat and surely it's ok to enjoy your own success if you are willing to give something back. The problem is that the world just isn't equal and probably shouldn't be you need to reward people who are willing to work hard and stick their necks out but on the other hand you also need to help those who fall upon hard times and give everyone an equal chance to succeed and help those who are unluckly and reward those who are willing to do the necessary but often underfunded jobs. At least a champagne socialist is willing to acknowledge that just because they're doing ok for themself doesn't mean they should turn their back on everyone else.

Many long years ago, back in the 70's, I met both Les Dawson and Les Dennis when they were appearing on the same bill in Scarborough where I was on holiday at the time.

Both were lovely and accommodating. I didn't really know who Les Dennis was as he was just starting off but he still gave his time freely as did Les Dawson who was a big star at that time and was warm and charming to us.

Socialists don't argue for equal wealth distribution - communists do.. Not all socialists are communists

Met the lovely Kelsey-Beth Crossley (Scarlett from Emmerdale and the Voice) after a show in Lytham last night. She was very sweet, friendly and gorgeous and after hearing her performing live realise just how much of a disservice the battle rounds on The Voice actually did her. She really is that tall too...

I just want to put in a good word for Steve Coogan. I met him last week, and he was so nice and friendly I was slightly take - aback!

Top bloke who always has time for others.

Sir Roger Moore is a totally nice guy, very chatty, met him a few times and he does not mind people calling him roger without the title.

Audrey Hepburn was amazing to meet, very demure, pleasant and dare I say it still very pretty when I met her a year before she passed. Apart from family she is the only icon whose death I found really upsetting. I'll feel the same way when Sir Roger goes and I hope that's not for a very long time.

I met Rob Newman on the 13th, he was a lovely bloke very approachable and had chat and a photo. Shame his stand up was shit!

Met John Bishop on Sunday night before his gig, he was late but still stopped to sign things. Another guy was there and told him he'd been there since 4 to which Bishop replied "what the **** have you been stood there since 4 for?" with a massive grin on his face!

And I've just met Jimmy Carr about an hour ago after his gig, always thought he was an arsehole on the telly but he was lovely after his gig, didn't do photos but signed things and he complimented me on my dress sense, top top man!

Meeting John Lydon, Omid Djalilli, Frank Skinner, Ruby Wax, Justin Moorhouse, Al Murray , Michael Barrymore and Kevin Bridges in the future has anyone got any stories about any of these?

My mate has seen her & partner in a country pub having lunch, he said she was lovely. No cameras around either...though he did say, you could see her partner was starting to get slightly annoyed by it all.

Frank Skinner is lovely, really down to earth & funny. Omid Djalili is the opposite, horrible and rude - refused to sign something for some children at a charity event.

Shame. I liked some stuff of his that I saw on the telly.

About 25 years ago my daughter met Paul Daniels and Dennis Waterman after her husband had filmed an episode of Blankety Blank. Both she said were rude and not nice despite being at the bar for drinks after filming. On the other hand Clare Rayner and Lyndsey DePaul were both lovely people with absolutely no airs and graces at all.

My granddaughter has been a Big Brother fan for years and has met many of the contestants. All of whom have been happy to chat and have pictures taken.

Me.....I've met no one famous

I've met Omid Djalili several times and he has always been very nice and approachable.Al Murray was really laid back and we chatted for ages...really nice guy. I met Frank Skinner years ago and he seemed really friendly . I only met John Lydon once , years ago at a Sex Pistols gig......didn't know how to take him , but think he was putting on a bit of an act. He seemed ok though , but was a lot taller than I'd imagined him to be.

He was at The Stand in Edinburgh during the festival when we there about 4 years ago watching Kevin Eldon. He has got THE loudest and most annoying laugh - but seemed very affable and laid back.

If someone is having dinner or with family they may not like to be disturbed, or perhaps get a bit fed up with people interrupting them.

When I met Kelsey-Beth Crossley the other week, I'd already tweeted her and asked if I could have some photos after the show and she was more than happy for that. She was so friendly and chatty, as someone else who had met her had said, so it really was a pleasure to meet her - she thanked me for coming, appreciated me coming to see her and we chatted about The Voice and her being in pantomime. I got a couple of lovely photographs with her too - even met her mum and dad!

I also saw Charlotte Hawkins outside the ITV studios the other day, wouldn't say I met her as she was getting into her car, but considering she was surrounded by photographers she appeared to be very bright, chatty and very friendly and quite happy to pose for photos. One thing that did strike me was she seemed to be quite tall, even though she was wearing heels - only something I noticed in the photos of her standing next to Susanna that I noticed it more... funny how you suddenly notice these things

I think the line should be drawn at interrupting a famous person enjoying their meal/family time for a photo or autograph. That to me is the height of ignorance and arrogance. If you feel you have an overwhelming sense of entitlement with regards to invading their private space at such a time then you deserve to be told to p*ss off. I cannot believe people do things like that - it is like 'you're famous so you owe it to me to be in my selfie or sign my scrap of paper'. Like....get a life

BIB. I met her through work and I completely agree. A very warm, down to earth and friendly woman. She started her working life as a nurse and it certainly showed in her demeanour.

Agree. My sister and her husband are very good friends with a very well known actor who shall remain nameless. They met for lunch once, and the number of people who came up to their table asking for a autograph was unbelievable. He took it all in good grace though.

Ah, but they're not celebrities though are they?
