Jeremy Hardy - Comedian, I was sat in the pub next to the venue, quite fresh as I remember! and saw him entering the venue and had a quick picture and he signed some of my things. Very small man in the flesh!?

I met Brad from The Vamps whilst having a drink in a pub. He's originally from my area and we were sort of with the same circle of friends, he was lovely. Didn't speak much but seemed very grounded and kind.
Never met her personally but I know someone who served Emma Willis in Selfridges, she was buying a pair of shoes to wear on her first night on hosting Big Brother. She was lovely apparently, couldn't have been kinder to the staff working there - asking for opinions on what she was wearing and whatnot. She also served Katy Perry once, who was also nice. I met Travie McCoy from Gym Class Heroes once, outside a gig. He was wandering around outside and a friend asked for a picture. He refused, saying he was with a child which I guess is fair enough. He seemed very shy. |

Met Daniel Radcliffe in a nightclub on the Kings road before the summer. He was quite happy to pose for pictures with people and was very apologetic and polite when he wobbled into me at the bar. He was absolutely hammered which I found funny having watched him talking about being tea-total on Graham Norton a few weeks before .
Being labelled as such means anytime he is seen drinking, people will comment, whereas people would not normally comment on a 25 year old out enjoying themselves, it is what people his age do. |

You can disregard my celeb experiences if you like but I felt like including them to the list
-I have met two X Factor contestants, the first one being Aiden Grimshaw who referred to me as beautiful and Joseph Whelan who got to judges houses who was lovely but also complimentary of my boobs -I have also met Louis Walsh's boyband Hometown at a record signing. They were lovely. One of them asked me if I was okay and I replied, "I am now I've met you" -I went to school with Irish rugby player Simon Zebo who seemed like a nice enough guy -I met Britain's Got Talent contestant Ryan O'Shaughnessy. I got to hug him and he smelled really nice Luckily, all my celeb experiences have been good |

A couple of mine:
Met Adam Garcia at the stage door when he was in Wicked on the West End. He was lovely to the fans and even hugged a girl who was so overcome she cried when she spoke to him ... Kevin Eldon near Piccadilly Circus. I was really awkward and just said I thought he was a funny guy. He smiled and said thank you, seems like a nice guy Meera Syal at a press event for Tetley Tea (I attended because I won a competition). They were running a new ad campaign so had someone talk about the launch, then there was an afternoon tea. I sadly wasn't sitting near her but she was making the people on either side laugh, I hadn't realised how tiny she is in real life though (and I am not exactly tall myself!) Ann Widdecombe, who spoke at my university (and I got to speak to her after the event.) On the not so nice side, someone I know met Barbara Windsor when EastEnders was filming on location in Spain (they worked in a bar that was used for filming) and says she was a huge diva |

I didn't meet him, but Telly Savalas once came into a restaurant that was regularly used by a company I worked for in the 70's, TS had been there the previous weekend, and all the staff and management there were bowled over by how wonderfully pleasant and generous he was with his time.

Not surprised about Ann Widdecombe. Have heard quite a few people say that she is a very nice person. Even people who are politically her polar opposite have commented on her generosity and good humour.[/quote] I agree. Met Anne several years ago when she was filming in our local hospital. She was making a documentary with Mick Philpott, then a benefit scrounger, now locked up for the murder of his kids. He was absolutely vile, she took no crap from him and said what the rest of us wanted to...only a little more politely! Great sense of humour too. |

'DO NOT REPEAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!' |

He used to give us sweets when he saw us playing in the street. Ah, growing up in the North East ![]() P.S I also met David Bradley backstage when he was doing Titus Andronicus at the RSC. |

In 1992, I returned for the second year of university, when through unforeseen circumstances, I found out I had no place to stay. I had the address of some friends so knocked on the door, no one in, tried calling but the phone was disconnected. We were students, not international company reps, so no one had a mobile. I went to the pub.
Every hour, I picked up my kit bag and headed off to try my friends again, only to turn up at the same spot in the bar. After the third time a voice chirped up "Are you locked out mate?" Sarcasticly, I replied "No, I'm homeless.". "It's a bit more serious then." Came the reply. I then explained the situation and this complete stranger, picks up the pay phone and Yellow Pages, starts shoving change into it and phoning up B&B's and guest houses and hotels. He did this for a good half an hour before giving up and turning to me and saying "If you can't find your friends, come back here at 9pm and either me or my girlfriend will see you have a place for the night." Now, I was 6'3, 16 stone, with a crew cut, not some pretty little student type. But the former lead singer of The Housemartins and the then lead singer of The Beautiful South, Paul Heaton was willing to offer, his sincere help, to a person that needed it. It's good to know not all successful people are pricks. |

Not in the least bit surprised. Paul has always come over as a very decent bloke with a genuine socialist heart. Loved reading this post x
"Fu€k me!", he said "....sorry mate, I'll go round." He is minuscule, great smile though. |
