I'm not saying Roger Daltrey's an all round bad bloke, just not the kind of marriage a lot of women would want, but rock n' roll seems to have it's own rules when it comes to wedlock and wives having to put up with their husbands indiscretions! Roger's done lots of good work with the Teenage Cancer Trust over the years.

I met him twice - the first time was in the bar after his show at Chorley Little Theatre - just a quick word from me to say how much I enjoyed the show - he was very appreciative and seemed to be chatting to anyone. The second time was again at Chorley Little Theatre - this time my friend and I had a great long chat with him. He really is a nice chap - you're right though - he is tiny! BTW - his shows are hilarious!

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.

Dan is only young, so I will let him off, but he/(or maybe it is the press) should not go around saying he is a recovering alcoholic.
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

Love Meera Syal, and nice to hear that she is apparently as lovely as I think she is.

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.

Met quite a few celebs over me 50+ years!

Nice
Robbie Williams - bumped into him in local wine bar
Boy George - used to live near me
Dennis Bergkamp - got his autograph in Brent Cross shopping centre
Ray Wilkins - at Chelsea in the 70's
Alan Smith - at the Emirates Arsenal
Alan Shearer - at the Emirates
Patrick Mower - used to live down my road
Ronald Regan - at a hotel where my dad worked
Charlton Heston - same hotel
Russell Crowe - in Pizza Hut (yes) with his kids
Telly Savalas (Kojak) - came to my school
George Best (twice) - Dover Street wine bar
Max Wall - on a train
Tom Conti (used to see and chat to him loads in my local supermarket)
Audrey (from Corrie in same supermarket)
Jade Goody - west end
Danny Dyer - Islibgton
Dan Ackroyd - Dublin Airport
Ian Beale (don't know his real name), but did the conga in a music venue with him
Brian Blessed, Bonnie Langford & Paul Nicholas - when they were in Cats
Johnny Rotton - in my local Hospital!


Can't think of any that were unpleasant really but my friend worked for a record company many years ago and said Cilla Black wasn't nice, but she also met Michael Caine who she was was adorable.

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.

met cameron diaz at lax years back, got my pic taken with her that ... at some point in the intervening years ... i lost!!!!!

who loves ya baby

Do you still have the jpeg/negative?

Surprise, surprise...

Boom!

That's it, close this thread and turn out the lights. We're done.

Cilla Black is meant to be vile.

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.

Bet that programme now has a 'flag' on the system, like Savile material.

'DO NOT REPEAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!'

I don't think there's been a single positive story about her in this thread

The phrase 'No sh*t Sherlock' springs to mind

Literally none of those people are celebrities.

Edit for content - I used to drink with Roy Chubby Brown when I was in college and my dad lived next door to Chris Rea when I was a kid. 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.

After all the stuff I've read about Cilla Black in forums, I don't think I want to meet her

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

I can honestly say that I haven't heard of any of them.

Thank you, enjoyed sharing it with you. I've also met Roger Daltrey, he was buying Guiness in front of me at a bar, only recognised him, when he turned round, and walked straight into me.
"Fu€k me!", he said "....sorry mate, I'll go round." He is minuscule, great smile though.

Has anyone met Angela Thorne?
