Ok ive never met anyone that famous but have met...
Pete Bennett winner of BB7 was a total sweet heart, truly lovely guy. Shirley Henderson - she's a scottish actress been in Doctor Who and the Harry Potter films. She was nice, very polite but only met her breifly cause she came into my work. My sister has met alot of people, David Beckham (This was about 10 years ago) she said he was nice enough. Pete Docherty - nice but troubled. Sharleen Spiterri (sp? Lead singer of Texas) she was lovely by al accounts. And Jimmy Carr just like he is on tv. |

Though I'd share this. My brother was standing at King's Cross station about twelve years ago and saw this pious guy lecturing a beggar about getting a job. Joss Ackland wandered out of nowhere, shouted at the pious guy to "Vuck off out of his face!" which the lecturing guy did. Joss then thrust a wad of cash into the homeless guy's hand and walked off. A nice, classy bit from Mr. Ackland I thought.

That's such a lovely thing to hear. Also I'm so glad to hear that Jerry Sadowitz is a decent sort.
Never had a celeb encounter but I know a friend of Russell Brands family and by all accounts he's a really nice man. |

I'm another who's had a not so nice encounter with Anthony Cotton, it was when he'd first joined Corrie and we were both in a gay nightclub in Manchester. Because I decided not to recognise him or give him my place in the queue at the bar he kept giving me quite obvious evil looks, very exaggerated like his acting.

I've heard a lot of negative comments about Amanda Burton. Anyone care to elaborate? I used to really like her 'til I realised she always seems to play the same kind of role with the same kind of persona. In fact, whenever I've seen her do something 'out of type', she doesn't seem to pull it off.

I'm pretty sure Gareth's band supported James Marsters, when he played a gig in Cardiff - so they definitely are mates!
Talking of James, did anyone else here ever see Ghosts of the Robot? As a side note the same friend and her daughter went to a GOTR convention on the following Saturday and Charlie the guitar playing in the band kept eyeing up her daughter ![]() .

To be fair, her husband had just left her so she may not have been at her best but no, I didn't take to her at all. |

She's one tough cookie! Went to a dinner party with her. She cannot bear anyone to mention Silent Witness, or any of her work!
To be fair, her husband had just left her so she may not have been at her best but no, I didn't take to her at all. Thanks! How strange. Mind you, she wasn't averse to playing away with Kevin Whately during the Peak Practice years, so I wasn't too surprised when Sven left her. She seems awfully aloof and cool...like when I've seen her in interviews. That might just be her style, so I wouldn't judge her on that, but I keep seeing random bits on DS from FMs she has peed off- mainly being quite cold and sarcastic when they've bumped into her (not literally!). Basically, a bit of a diva. However, though, I was wondering if it was a cover for shyness/awkwardness. |

Nice:
Went on holiday to the US and Thora Hird was on the 14-day coach tour. She was a gem and mucked in with everyone else. She never played the star. Our plane back to the UK was delayed by bad weather and we were put on another after a long delay at the airport. The crew recognised Thora and offered her a seat in first class but she refused, saying she wanted to sit with "her friends''. Alan Freeman. Wrote a fan letter to him many years ago but I never expected a reply. He did and he invited me to see him tape some of his Radio Luxembourg shows in London and also to sit in the Radio 1 studio when he presented Pick of the Pops in the 1960s. True gent. Both of these are much missed. |

A friend of mine works in the music business and apparently Amy Lee is known to be a bit of a bitch. Having said that a friend of mine met her at a meet and greet and said she was lovely
She wasn't impatient with us at all and stood talking to us all for about 5 - 10 minutes She saw me from the stage too and looked straight in to my camera, they're some of my favourite photos ![]() I forgot to add Natalie Imbruglia to my list, i knew i was forgetting someone. I was about 6 years old at the time so i can't remember much about it, i think she'd just left Neighbours and she was doing pantomine in Canterbury and came out the back afterwards. My uncle fought his way through the crowd to get my programme signed

A really lovely bloke with some really lovely fans too. ![]() Matt Di Angelo is lovely too as is Flavia Cacace (SCD Pro Dancer). Jackie Chan was nice too but I was a bit in awe of him and didn't talk much.

He won YEARS ago!!" Ive seen a few celebs in the street but i dont approach them... its a bit invasive IMO, esp when they arent working... |

I often see Limahl around town and he's lovely, smiley and friendly just as he appears on telly. He's twinkly and bouncy like a puppy, I love him! I once had a long chat with him and his lovely Mum, when we sat next to each other at a Soho cafe one night. I never mentioned about being a fan years ago or still being a fan, and I think he appreciated that and liked the fact that he knew I knew who he was, but that I still treated him normally, while other strangers were passing by and calling things out to him.
Every time I see him now we nod and smile, and it's lovely to know he remembered me. I'd love to chat to him again, but he's always with his bf or a group of friends and I'm not pushy. Maybe one day! |

Well, that's surprised me. I would have thought that Jeremy Clarkson would have been an up himself arrogant prat. The way he writes his column, he seems that way. I also see that Anthony Cotton is being slagged off yet again. It seems like he really isn't well liked on this forum at all. He must be a complete idiot judging by the amount of negative comments there's been about him.

Elisabeth Sladen- really lovely woman. Met her at quite a few Dr Who conventions in the 90s.
Sandi Toksvig- spotted her in Thailand last year on holiday. |

Jon McClure (Reverend and the Makers)- he gets a lot of stick for his political views but he is a really decent, down to earth man and extremely good to his fans. I went to his gig last night at the UEA, and after the gig instead of heading straight to the dressing room he headed straight outside to have a 30 minute acoustic singsong with the fans. After he went back in (I think security had a few issues with him being out there!) he came back out about 15 minutes later, signed autographs for everyone, chatted and posed for pictures. I love my picture with him...he's literally about a foot and a half taller than me and I have no idea how we were able to fit in the same frame! He's a really lovely man (he even waved to me from the window!) and its frustrating that people jump to conclusions about him being arrogant due to his outspoken comments...he's anything but arrogant.

I have at the Islington Acdamey (sp?) a few years ago I went with a friend and her daughter both of whom are huge James fans ,GOTR had recently replaced their drummer with a new guy who was v.good looking btw and us three were right at the front he asked us our names and where we were from and kept winking at us from time to time during the gig he was soooooooo lovely . As a side note the same friend and her daughter went to a GOTR convention on the following Saturday and Charlie the guitar playing in the band kept eyeing up her daughter Didn't one of the GOTR members die recently? I went to the convention you mentioned (then went to meet Alyson Hannigan, after she appeared in When Harry Met Sally). |
