Bumped into John Hannah and his lovely doggie about a week ago. Both couldn't have been nicer.

That would probably be former BBC commentator and former World Amateur champion Ray Edmonds, who was dropped by the BBC as a commentator a few years back. He's a decent guy who is now retired, but still helps out at his son's club in Grimsby a lot.

Beckham on the other hand he said was absolutely lovely. Very down to earth and very friendly with the staff. Also the kids at the fence he talked to and stayed behind after the shoot for two hours to make sure every single one got an autograph,”

My mum was a teen in the 50s and had a crush on norman wisdom! Anyway he was performing at the london palladium and mum and her bf was hanging around the stage door,he not only let them in the dressing room and shared a b,day cake(another fan had made)he asked if they would like to have a dance and general muck around on the stage. My mum said he was a real gent,her and her mate was beside themselves.
I went to a Celine Dion concert around 1995. Rene Angelil was in the hall just milling about when people were arriving (we were amongst the first ones in). I said Bonjour Rene and asked him how Celine was doing, was she looking forward to the show (well what else could I say). He was very smiley, said she was fine and yes, very much. A lovely man, very twinkly and quite handsome.

Celine and Rene are one of my most favourite celebrity couples!

Sat next to Eamonn Holmes on a flight to Belfast and he was really chatty - hadn't liked him before then but that trip changed my mind.
Bumped into a man in Barneys in New York, turned to apologise and discovered it was Pierce Brosnan. I apologised and so did he. I was speechless but my 83 year old Dad who had no clue who he was chatted away to him while we queued to pay.
Lewis Hamilton was horrible to my son and told him to go away when he asked for an autograph. We were in the BA Executive Lounge at the time so its not like he was somewhere private.”

Never liked Lewis Hamilton anyway and am always pleased when he is beaten.
My mum tells the story of when the Queen and Prince Philip got married, they travelled through Gravesend on their way to their honeymoon. Some of the official route through the town had been published, but mum didn't want to wait with the crowds so she worked out the route the car would have to go on its way out of the town, and that it would probably have to slow a bit going up a steep hill. Anyway she waited by the side of the road (she was the only one there), with a bunch of flowers from her grans garden. She said when the queen (or Princess Elizabeth as she was then) saw her she asked the driver to stop, and thanked mum for the flowers. Mum said the queen chatted briefley, then Prince Philip said 'something cheeky' to my mum which made the queen laugh, and then they drove off. Mum was 18 years old at the time, she's 81 now and has never forgotten that day. She says she'll aways remember the twinkle in prince philips eyes, and that the queen had the most beautiful blue eyes she's ever seen.

Donald Sutherland is NOT a very nice person at all. Like Kirk Douglas and many other of that generation.
Not exactly a meet but Samantha Janus was in River Island in Liverpool around the time she was filming a cop show she did there. She was horrendous, the poor staff were running around after her and she didn't even bother putting anything back on the clothes racks, just lashed them on the top and kept moaning about the stock levels.
But for balance she also used to drink in a local pub I later went in and the staff said she was lovely, they had pictures of her and the staff and regulars behind the bar.
Also my Dad was staying in a hotel in Marbella and so was Dale Winton and Cilla Black (or she visited him there, not 100% sure) and both were supposedly grotesque.
It's no wonder Cilla is almost universally despised in her home town.

Well I have been very lucky to meet a few celebrities in the street and at signings and what not. Luckily most of my encounters have been good apart from a few.
Nice
Pixie Lott - So down to earth and very smiley
Niall Horan - My fave person ever! I met One Direction at a signing and maybe I'm just biased but he (alongside Harry Styles) went the extra length for fans by having their photos took and giving them hugs.
Samantha Mumba - Seems to really love her fans and has a beautiful smile.
Catherine Tate - Only asked for an autograph and ended up having a full conversation with her like she was my best friend! A lovely woman.
Not So Nice
Gary Barlow - I never met him but apparently he was very rude to my sister and her friends when they asked him for an autograph.
Aston Merrygold - Maybe it was because he was in a rush or something but just after JLS came second in the X Factor (way before even releasing a single) people were crowding around him in the street asking for photos and stuff. He just ignored them, put in his headphones and walked on.

I like them a lot too. They seem so solid and genuine.
My nephew once met Ulrika Jonsson who gave him her autograph and took the time to speak to him.
I have liked her ever since for this and will not hear a word against her!

I hope Hitler didn't give any of your grandparents his autograph.

I met her too, many years ago, and she was very sweet indeed.

Don't think Hitler came to Ireland!
We were in M&S in Manchester last year and my 18 year-old grand-daughter came face to face with Katherine Kelly (Becky from Corrie) and Katherine said "Oh Hi" to my grand-daughter, who then blushed profusely and was too dumbstruck to speak. She must have realised that my grand-daughter had recognised her. She said Katherine was really pretty.
That was a lovely story about the Queen and Prince Phillip.
I met Russell Brand last year, he was so lovely to everyone myself included. I know he is like marmite (love or hate him) but he always makes time for fans whether young,old,female or male.
Met comedian Chris Ramsey a couple of times too (although hes not super famous just yet) and he came out to say Hi and tweeted me to say Thanks for coming to gig etc,he stopped for photos too.
Jack Dee was a bit grumpy but he was quite poorly so I can understand his not wanting to hang around.
Paul Weller is a miserable swine,looks at people like they are something he might tread in. I do think it all depends on when you see them, even famous people have to have private time.

I've met him several times myself and can confirm that he is a bit of a git.
Glad it wasn't just us then! We didn't intrude on private time. Paul Weller seems to have been the same since he was a spoiled teen in the Jam, he never looks very friendly to be honest 
I met the Sugababes last year and all three were lovely! Had a good old conversation with Amelle too!
My daughter met Michael Sheen through work was lovely and very friendly to everyone. Charlotte Church was nice too although she wasn't expecting her to be. I've seen her out and about and she seems very down to earth even though I'm not keen on her myself, might be a different story if you bumped into her on a drunken night out!
