Woweeee! I've heard the same over the years about Mr Numan. I love him, always have. This became a hot favourite vid of mine recently. I was utterly blown away. Gary's smile at 0.25 is so sweet. You've probably seen it many times already!

Sorry off topic. I've never met anyone famous that I can recall but I did have to talk to Will Carling on the phone a few times as part of my job once and he seemed very very nice indeed.

He's done a lot of work round here with disabled young people. My son has met him a number of times and liked him.

I'm a 50 year old woman who's had frequent and lengthy bouts of depression since my late teens, I would hope that I never use it as an excuse to be so rude and manipulative. I would also never volunteer to go into a situation where my depressive tendancies were severely tested....

Exactly! If he suffered from depression, why on earth go on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! for? He's bound to have high and low days. Does money really mean more to him than his health? If he does suffer from depression, I think he was crazy to go into the jungle. And as far as seeing people outside goes, surely he doesn't have a low day everyday.

How do you all meet these celebrities? Everyone seems accidently bump in to them. I never bumped into a celebrity as such.

Great post. I'm very sorry to hear about your dear mum, and literally/in every sense, wish you well.

I stood on the foot of Pauline Quirke in the Metrocentre once, and she laughed it off. Lovely woman. Glad it wasn't the other way around though

Nice: Ted Danson

Evil beyond reason: a certain Apprentice runner up who should be 'culled'.

Unclench already! It's only a bit of fun.

I'm really curious now - can't you give a clue? Go on!

Me too!

Come on, name and shame. It's not like your description before the colon's going to be taken literally.

Yeah.

Name and shame and get the thread pulled.

Uhhh, there's a pretty obvious clue. There's a certain animal which is going to get culled soon.

Oh, what are you talking about? All of the other celebrities have been named, why not them? What makes them so special?

Please accept my apologies for making a mistook.

The series two runner up then.

It'd be funny if you did that to Nigel Planer (Neil, of The Young Ones), then said, in Neil's voice, 'Hello Nigel-I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to stand on you again!' (remember Hole In My Shoe?)




P.S. It'd only be funny if you were joking, and weren't going to deliberately trample him again, and made that clear to him. Wouldn't want anyone to think I was inciting violence.

I met Russell Grant a few years ago and he was absolutely lovely, as was Tessa Saunderson. I can't remember if it was Hinge or Brackett (but it was the one in the glasses) and he was not nice, not nice at all.

I had to misfortune of coming across Lulu when I worked for the Beeb many years ago - an absolute nightmare. Rude and completely obnoxious - but when the cameras were running she completely changed into this sweet, butter wouldn't melt in my mouth type personality.

Also met John Duttine - what a charming, lovely man. As gorgeous off-screen as he was on and he was so interesting and interested in the person he was talking too.

I remember him from the 1978 TV serialisation of Wuthering Heights, as Hindley. He was also in that series, To Serve Them All Their Days, about the young schoolteacher, in Edwardian times, which I saw in 1984, thought I think it was first shown in 1980.

Lucky enough to meet Barney Harwood yesterday, went to see him in panto in Bromley. Lovely guy, signed autographs, took photos, spent about half an hour chatting to me, my brother and our two young cousins who he huggged! Genuinley lovely fella. Same day met Patsy Kensit, she's in the same panto, again lovely, as was David Spinx and Sarah Lark.

Also met Arthur Darvil, absoloutley lovely, photo and hug, fairly handsome too lol. Also had an autograph off Eve Myles, she was lovely too

Lovely

John Barrowman
James Marsters
Eric Roberts
Colin Baker
Paul Darrow

Horrible

David Soul (I've met him a couple of times, both times, unfriendly, miserable, bordering on rude, and these were at offficial meet & greet type of events!)

Don't let the curious posters in this thread badger you over who it was. Be ruthless!
