And and Dec - Back in their Byker Grove days...seemed nice, and unlike some of the cast they didn't treat the extras like utter crap. Declan especially always came across like a nice person.

Michael Ball - Lovely man, tried to make time to speak to everyone even though his schedule for the weekend I met him was ten kinds of insane.

Roger Moore - Utter gentleman, and very charming. And this was on a bad day - it later turned out he'd been quite ill that weekend.

Jane McDonald - Lovely. Prior to meeting her I hadn't been much of a fan, thought her whole 'persona' a bit of an act. It isn't - that's Jane. She also sounds as great singing without a microphone or any digital fiddling as she does on stage - nothing fake about her!

Cliff Richard - Seemed nice but not entirely on the planet.

Honor Blackman - An absolute lady. Very kind and quite funny.

Emma Bunton - Very friendly and nice,

Robson Greene - Sadly, a complete arse. Head completely up his own backside.

Myleene Klass - Moody, stand-offish and borderline unprofessional. I was quite disappointed as I'd heard she was lovely.

Denise Welch - Quite unpleasant to be around and seemed drunk.

Tamsin Outhwaite - Cameras on - all smiles and nice. Cameras off - Sour-faced, unpleasant and sneering.

A friend of mine was living in LA for a while as she was trying to become an actress. She was in a supermarket and didn't have enough dollars for what she wanted - she forgot she had already spent a $20 bill.

Justin Timberlake was a few people behind her in the queue. He could see she was getting more and more embarrassed and the shop assistant wasn't particuarly patient with her. He moved out of the queue and only paid for her shopping!!! Not a huge amount, just $30 - odd dollars.

I didn't believe her when she told me, until she showed me a pic on her camera phone!!
That's so nice!!! Justin always came across as decent.
He visited local ski centre some years ago and was surrounded by kids wanting his autograph but he had some heavies who kept them all well back and he would not speak to any of them. He did not make any friends that day.

People in my year met John James from Big Brother 11 in an airport on the way home from a Music trip and said he was arrogant, rude and acted like he was an A Lister!
Oh now why doesn't that surprise me

Simon Cowell - same as on tv and a terrible flirt.
Sean Connery- lovely, very loud and deep voice but charming.
David beckham- cheeky and down to earth
Shayne warne- ladies man
Claudia winkleman- lovely, and so much smaller than expected but cute.
Bruce forsythe- funny, happy, jolly
Jodie kidds brother's wife- awful and her mum. rudest person on earth.
Sarah ferguson- pretty, nice, normal
Vinnie Jones wive Tanya- scary
Kirk douglas- not that nice
met so many but these stick in my mind.
Simon is the person I remember the most, as met just before x factor, his sarcasm didn't match mine, but he's a terrible flirt. Very likeable and charming.

Aw I'm quite gutted to read that, I've always liked her

I've met most of the Hollyoaks and Eastenders cast, they were all lovely. Nicest were:

Eastenders
Jo Joyner (Tanya)
Laurie Brett (Jane)
Madeline Duggan (the first Lauren)

Hollyoaks
Tony Hirst (Mike Barnes)
Guy Burnet (Craig)
James Sutton (John Paul)
Cassie and Connie Powney (Mel and Sophie)

I also met a lot of the South African rugby team, they were all so friendly and gave me and my dad (who is South African) an autograph.

Also my dad's good friends with Michael Kitchen (Foyle's War) and one of my mum's closest friends is Gillian Cross who wrote the Demon Headmaster books. Never met them but my parents have said how nice they are, and Gillian was praying for me when I was ill

Reading this whole thread (took me a while) and trying to remember who I have met/ seen and its rather boring.

Nick Hancock (They Think Its All Over) walking through Winchester. Lovely guy, happy to give an autograph.

Saw Sir Richard Branson about 12-13 years ago. He was on the Virgin float at the Notting Hill Carnival so I probaly wasn't the only one.


If I remember anymore I will add them later.

I wouldn't be gutted about Tasmin, as everyone can have a bad day. She could have been on her monthly's.

Stephanie Beacham is my best story. I'm a huge fan of hers, and I met her in December when I went to see her in a play, she stopped to talk to me by the theatre stage door and she was absolutely lovely. Then I went to see the play again in February and met her again. She remembered me and gave me a hug. I still haven't recovered!

This isn't a meeting, but I emailed Jacqueline Wilson last year via her website. I'd always been a fan but the main reason I emailed was to tell her how much I liked a book I'd come across that she wrote in the eighties. I was absolutely amazed and very pleased when I got a personal reply from her a week later.

Frankie from The Saturdays once replied to a comment I left her on Myspace a couple of months before they were officially launched. That was pretty good too!

I haven't had any horrible experiences yet!

Billie Piper was really lovely at her book signing. She made everyone feel very special, despite the queue being hours long.

Roger Moore - Utter gentleman, and very charming. And this was on a bad day - it later turned out he'd been quite ill that weekend.
this reminds me, i hope i havent already posted this ages ago, but my mum used to work as a receptionist in a London hair salon where quite a few famous people came in. it was raining and she was moaning about having to get to the bus stop and not being able to wait out the rain because she had to get back for my brother and sister, and roger moore, who'd been getting a haircut, overheard and then drove her home himself so she didn't get soaked! she said he was lovely, and 9 months later i was born

I recently met Colin Morgan who plays Merlin in Merlin. Very sweet, shy, obliging, modest, enthusiastic, down to earth. Very good looking in person - beautiful eyes and perfect skin .

This made me laugh out loud - in what way exactly is Jodie Kidd's brother's wife a celebrity?

I'm related to Bobby and Jack Charlton through my mum's side of the family (they're third cousins or something). Does that make me a celeb? :sleep:

My in laws met Julia Bradbury last summer when she was filming in Wales. They said she was lovely.

I was at Alton Towers last month and I saw Rebecca Ryan who plays Vicky in Waterloo road. I didn't approach her as I could tell she didn't want to be recognised but we literally bumped into each other in The Glass Elevator ride and she seemed nice.

Oddly so am I apparently - through my maternal Granddad's side, I think he was more of a Milburn offshoot than Charlton though.

So have I. My Granddad and Auntie met her a few years ago and said she was lovely.
Camilla came to my college last month and spoke to myself and my students after she came into our room unexpectedly (que panic-looking security folks) and was talkative, interested and warm and went straight over to my lot and asked them questions...I have to say, my view on her changed completely after that, very impressed with just how open and curious she was.

Bette, I personally dont care if you are repeating the story, it's brilliant!

PS loved you in First Wives Club, Big Business, Outrageous Fortune, well everything really. The singing? Ahhh, not so much.

Back in the day, 'Some Mothers do 'ave 'em' was a massive show, regularly getting 15-20 million viewers a week.

My oldest brother got a phone call from his best mate telling him that a film crew had turned up in his street and were filming an episode.
He raced over there on his pushbike clutching his autograph book. Everyone of the actors gladly signed it and chatted happily with the boys between takes (they were 12 years old). They asked Michael Crawford, the star of the show for his autograph, quite politely. He said "No"....."I don't sign autographs, I don't sign anything"
The boys were devastated

So if you are reading this Michael, as the boys grew up they regularly told this story to anyone and everyone, describing you as a "Pompous w*nker"

Sad, I could understand that nowadays because often the autographs are just put straight on eBay but in those days people would actually collect them.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting John Challis, alias Boycie from Only Fools and Horses, on a guided tour of his wonderful and very old house (where his series The Green Green Grass was filmed). He showed us around the garden and part of the house and then dished up tea and scrummy homemade cakes (made by his wife).

Top bloke – no airs and graces at all, very chatty, happily posed for photos, etc, though didn’t name-drop or make a big thing about being a “star” because the trip was all about the house and not about him.

I've not actually spoken to Jenson Button, but I've been around him on a few occasions. He used to be nice and down to earth, and is now a bit of a diva. Fernando Alonso appears to be lovely, despite his reputation.

I met Fiona Phillips last year at a trade fair and she was lovely. Very pleasant, chatty and smiley. Wish she (and GMTV) would come back instead of that awful Daybreak and its presenting team.
