I've met Ant and Dec and they were very nice. I also was around the area when Kellen Lutz was in the country, I wasn't really a fan because I'm not a fan if Twilight etc... but as I walking past, I saw him speak to his management who tried to drag him away but he insisted to sign autographs for A LOT of people and was being a good lad.

My friend who currently lives in the US met Downton Abbeys Dan Stevens and spoke to him on the set of The Guest and said he was incredible to speak to..what he found funny is that when producers came over to hurry him up, he spoke to them in an American accent (as he played an American) then returned to British again talking to a friend. Must be difficult to change your accent mid sentence.

As for bad....I have heard from all the people that have come across him that Bruce Forsyth is a nasty man...but I haven't seen that. Cilla Black is not pleasant either. I have also heard unpleasant things about Dawn French.

Oh do tell about Steve am all agog

He's worth £62 million and he has the odd grumpy day.

That's hardcore.

I met Matt Baker today and he was a top gent. We spoke about Blue Peter and Countryfile, and when I said he was one of my favourite BP presenters he shook my hand and seemed genuinely touched. I'm so glad someone who was so prominent in my childhood was so nice!

I'm a stand up comic - I have either met or gigged with Gary Delaney and Justin Moorhouse, both lovely, genuine people.

I sadly missed John Bishop though!

Anyone got any stories about Paul Weller?

A company I work for does some home stuff for Bryan Adam, I was ask to casually write a Christmas card for him yesterday - very surreal.

Well it is 'Christmas Time'.

I'd be interested to hear what Melanie Sykes is like, she comes across as a bit of a touchy cow on I'm a Celeb.

Peter Capaldi was lovely - very patient and friendly with fans

That's an understatement. She's a horror. Perhaps her estranged hubbie will post!

I met her once, not very pleasant.

Not very nice I have heard.

I was being kind


Oooh care to tell us more? I get the impression she's all nice and smiles in the surface but vile once you scratch beneath.

I've met David Heyman, producer of Harry Potter & Gravity. I'm a Potter fan and I was waiting to board a plane to Morocco when I recognised him, he was wearing the same cool jacket he wore in some of the behind the scenes of Harry Potter interviews. He was only a couple of seats away from me and he had paperwork with the Harry Potter logo on it as this was when they still had a couple more films to release, maybe I could have took a sneaky peak to see if there were any details on the Deathly Hallows films! Me and my dad got talking to him about various things and he was extremely kind and warm. Once we landed, he was more than happy to take a photo with me, one of the nicest people I've met.

Sorry, only just spotted this!

Basically he was a rude, incredibly entitled arse. As you can imagine it was quite a 'budget' situation... No frills at all. There was a couple of tents backstage for acts to change in/prepare in etc... it was decent weather so all the other acts were happy to sit around on little folding chairs in the sun backstage until they were to go on, provided with cheap refreshments, rehearse and warm up etc. Some acts, like Matt Willis, Chesney Hawkes, some girlband... All happy to sit and chat to each other, to staff, competition winners, drink squash & eat biscuits. The acts who weren't happy with this (Liberty X, for example), just asked me where the nearest pub was and what time they had to be back! BUT Brookstein was something else completely!

He was a monster about it. Turned up late, kicked off big time about some percieved issue with the sound (pretty sure he was miming too but not sure?), rude to everyone, loudly belittling staff, criticising all aspects of the event, moaning about everything, doing everything he could to draw attention to himself. His gf/wife, whom I remembered from the X Factor, looked mortified most of the time. He ended up going and sitting and sulking in his car until he was due on stage. Just vile. So unpleasant.

While it's a bit much to read 180 pages, I'm disappointed to see so many stories that claim to be negative about certain people but aren't at all. Some celebrities are immensely shy and would prefer not to be lavished with attention, so if you're "blanked" by someone it doesn't automatically mean they're an arrogant prick, they just might not be in the mood for interaction. Other people may have had horrible or genuinely exhausting days so may not quite be as nice and smiley after six hours of autograph signings than they were at the start of the day.

Here's a few of mine, some may contradict posts by others in this thread but all are true:

Way back in the 1990s, Mark Speight in full 'Scratchy & Co' costume was energetically signing autographs to a huge crowd of kids in Battersea Park. Being a bit of a shy child at the time I wish I'd have spoke to him more given how things would turn out.

Ken Livingstone met me and a lot of locals on the day of the 1997 General Election (back when he was our local MP for Brent East) and was very jolly and friendly, but then given the circumstances of that day it would be hard not to be in a good mood. Twelve years later I saw him looking a bit moody on the Jubilee line at West Hampstead, which was a little heartbreaking.

I was in a TV show with Rik Mayall a couple of years after his motorcycle accident. Unsurprisingly he wasn't quite the manic persona you see on screen, but very quiet and polite.

Tom Baker at a Doctor Who signing in 2002. Still quite young at the time I was absolutely terrified, which he sensed straight away and immediately made me feel welcome. As did Katy Manning who played Jo Grant in the early 70s, even more so in her case who properly chatted with me for ages - given this was quite a few years before it returned to TV, I was the only person there under the age of about 20 (I was 14!) so I probably stood out from the crowd. Both fantastic people and a big highlight of my early teens to meet them.

Noel Edmonds I met on the set of Deal or No Deal in 2007. Despite some horror stories he was lovely! Happily met audience members and signed my book during a quick recording break, although he left soon after recording finished.

Keira Knightley and Lily Allen came to a theatre show I staffed on back in 2008. Both polar opposites, Keira trying to avoid attention by literally walking around with her hand over her face at points (which did the complete opposite and made her stood out by a mile), Lily sporting bright pink hair and happily smiling and talking with everyone.

I met Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer at a HMV signing for a Shooting Stars DVD. Bob was one of the loveliest I've ever met, warmly shaking your hand and chatting with you, Vic a little more reserved although he still said hi.

Charlie Brooks (Janine from Eastenders) went to my school and we were both at a reunion a few years back. Pleasantly lovely to all.

Mostly recently a guy called Alex Reid came to the cinema I work at in Wembley with his girlfriend. As I got them their tickets (for a film called Noah) they had a bit of a weird staged-sounding comedy 'argument' with each other as if they were on a TV show, which was a little odd but they were both nice enough and didn't mind waiting their turn in a massive Bank Holiday queue at the ticket desk, which is admirable. I didn't know who they were until I saw the starstruck look on my supervisor's face! We've had One Direction and Mutya Buena there too but sadly I wasn't on shift those days, so that's where my post ends

I met Adam Bloom(although it could have been Jason Byrne, I don't know, I was drunk, and they look similar). Nice guy, even though he did steal a joke off me.

I hope the job centre puts out a red carpet for him when he goes to sign on!!

Talk about having a big ego. He's a nobody!

He's all over Twitter like a rash, promoting some tittle-tattle book he's written. Sounds like a very vindictive, bitter person.

He might apply to be on that home for almost forgotten no marks, Celebrity Big Brother, and get forgotten again when he is evicted.

Wouldn't it be the ultimate snub if even CBB or I'm A Celebrity didn't even want you

Met him a few times back in the Jam days, nice bloke who always had time for people,

Nice to hear about Bob Mortimer in Billy Hicks post. Ever since Big Night Out there was something about Bob for me. Just found him hilarious and appealing. No offence to Mr Moir, who I'm sure is perfectly nice, but Bob was my favourite and always sensed he was a really top lad.

A lot of people have this big hate for Hughie Green, OK he was a terrible parent and terrible to his partners, but my grandparents met him at a Butlins Opportunity Knocks roadshow in 1974 and said he was excellent towards the audience. Seemingly the public Hughie Green could be perfectly friendly, but in private life he was awful.
