I once saw the late Don Estelle on a beach in Bridlington. He was selling his own CD's from a suitcase. Some young child asked him to sign an autograph book but he refused saying he would only sign his CD's but sadly he was very snappy with it and sent the child away with a flick of his hand.
I remember thinking, you're flogging your own CD's from a suitcase on Bridlington beach, you need to behave better. No problem if he wouldn't sign but no need to be so dismissive. I later saw him marching very quickly off the beach looking very cross. |

Don Estelle would have to pay me to listen to his awful singing. He's lucky the police didn't spot him selling things on the beach!

Aw bless your little socks. Totally normal reaction in the circumstances I think! Was Les nice though?

I met Stefan Dennis and Olympia Valance (Holly Valance's sister) from Neighbours while they were in the UK recently.
As I knew Stefan was going to be on this morning, I tweeted him asking him if I could have a picture with him before he enters the this morning studios. He replied and said "I don't see why not" so I asked him what time he was going to be at This Morning and he said around 9. As I got to ITV the next day, I got there just in time to catch Holly Valance and her sister Olympia leaving Lorraine Kelly's programme, they both were celebrating Neighbour's 30th Anniversary. Holly got straight in a car but there were four other vehicles waiting for Olympia and they didn't know which one she was supposed to get in. As Olympia walked through the gates the paps had a field day and she posed for some pictures with them. Once Olympia was done with the paps, I called over to her and asked if I could have a picture taken and she was happy to oblige. I looked at the one I took but I had her almost cut out of shot! I quickly went back up to her and showed her the one I took and she was happy to pose again. I was struggling with the front camera on my phone and she offered to take this one for me and she took a bloody great one of us! While I was speaking to Olympia, I missed Stefan arrive for This Morning. I sent him another tweet explaining that I was at the other side of the ITV studios and he said he was already inside but there may be a chance at the end. There were a few other Neighbours fans waiting and we saw Stefan waiting as his car was being prepared, he was looking at his phone and he called out my name. I walked up to him and he walked up to me and greeted me with a handshake and said "glad you made it" an ITV member of staff quickly came up to me and asked me to remain behind the gate so Stefan walked up with me to the gate and posed for a picture with me. |

WOW amazing!!! They're probably my two favourite people in Neighbours so I'm pleased to hear both were so lovely. Stefan Dennis is a legend in my eyes and Olympia is stunning, so I'm most impressed you had such a great encounter with them both!

I remember meeting the late comedian John Junkin at a TV studio.
Nice man, but one thing I did notice about him. His pants seat was very greasy.

To be fair cavegirl's posting was from 2008 when Fed was still likeable along with Rolf, Stuart Hall and DLT. I wont mention Savile as he was never likeable even before we knew what we now know.
Which makes the whole thing all the more gruesome. |

Have only met a couple of celebs.
Toyah at one of her concerts. She's like a tiny little doll of stage, very nice. Noel Edmonds seemed quite arrogant from my encounter, he certainly gives the ladies the eye. Princess Dianna, I didn't actually meet her but were the only two women on an airport run way, she was greeting a row of military and I had to walk near them to get where I was going for my work. She seemed ever so tall and slender. She looked across at me and I got the feeling that she wasn't too happy that I had to walk past them, like I was disturbing the moment. My friend much later suggested perhaps one of the men was her boyfriend what's his name, the chap with there'd hair as it was about that time and location. Bay City Rollers chappie, the singer Les, but won't go into detail as made a right idiot of myself! Only to say he looked slightly afraid. Oh dear. I guess sometimes.when you are that high profile sometimes it can get annoying having to be not caught off guard. |

What are peoples views on here about celebs signing autographs?
I mean I guess its a nice thing to do but also I can see why some high profile stars decine since it must be annoying having to sign everytime you go out. |

I always think Stefan Dennis seems like a top bloke - he's got that relaxed aussie demeanour where he doesn't take things too seriously

My old man has had lunch with Prince Charles on several occasions. ( probably not really a celeb as such ). Anyway,he said that Charles was charming and extremely well informed about the work himself was doing and they chatted for ages. He also said that HRH looked a bit shabby round the edges.

Wow I thought Princess Diana was supposed to be pretty good with people. Obviously everybody has their own opinion of her but I know a.person at work who met her and said she was nice....
I guess sometimes.when you are that high profile sometimes it can get annoying having to be not caught off guard. Also Charles and Eddie had a spat at Sandringham when Ed was dating Sophie, Charles wanted one particular bathroom for his use but Ed bagged it first for him and Sophe, Charles had a grumble and Ed told him to "f@ck off". A tale of every day folk just like you and me, squabbles over the lavvie and language to make your Nan blush. |

I know what you mean about Sa(vile), for years I've always thought he gave off a cold, unpleasant vibe, even more so after watching the documentary Louis Theroux did on him.

When he was trying to be warm, friendly and avuncular with children on Jim'll Fix It, it just looked so forced and unnatural.

Even when he gave that rictus grin, the eyes were cold and dead looking. When people say "who you bring back from history", Savile so he could face trial and be shamed in front of the whole Nation.

Lol, don't be fooled by the 'little Miss Butter Wouldn't Melt' image she portrayed whilst peeping shyly from beneath her fringe. My Dad used to know a policeman in the Royal protection squad, once cameras were round filming at Highgrove she went ballistic at the camera cables all over the floor, "get these f@cking cameras out of my f@cking way!"
Also Charles and Eddie had a spat at Sandringham when Ed was dating Sophie, Charles wanted one particular bathroom for his use but Ed bagged it first for him and Sophe, Charles had a grumble and Ed told him to "f@ck off".

i never said I judged her or was fooled by her. You don't really know what anybody is really like when those doors are closed and people spread so much about her in the press that you can't help believe how much of it was bull**** and just written to sell papers.
Not saying you are not lying but you get my drift , my post wasn't meant as a dig at Diana, I once lived with a very wealthy family who had titles and a castle, my post just illustrated that Royal or not, these people are just the same as everyone else.
