Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Simple question really, and one that we havent had in a while.
Have you ever met anyone famous ? Maybe its a film star, TV star, someone in a band, DJ, a singer, book writer, sports star, etc ?
Maybe you have a celebrity living nextdoor to you.
Old or new, it doesnt matter who they are.

I remember being in a choir at school and Kristian Schmid from Neighbours was on stage with us. He used to play Todd.
I then met Emile Hesky in PC world ages ago when he was opening the store.
I've also met dutchman DJ Tiesto who is well known accross the whole dance music world, as well as chatting to Armin Van Buuren, another big dance DJ.

Oh and last year I caught up with Andy and Ritch from Solarstone who slipped me a free tune too which was nice.

So I guess most of the famous people I've bumped into are from the dance music scene.

Only "celeb" I've ever met was Johnny Ball at some maths thing when I was a kid. Seemed a nice bloke.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

:shocked:

You don't work in the press do you?

As to the famous people I've met, I've met Michael Aspel in a bookstore and used to go to primary school with Steve Penk's daughter. Also saw Angelica off CBBC walk past me and also saw Huw Edwards working at his desk feet away through the glass when we went on some tour of the BBC.

Apparently one of the members of Busted used to go to my old secondary school. Or so the rumour was anyway.

Mate of mine who's a Sainsbury's part timer served Caprice last week at the till.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

It was Finders Keepers and I was in the Audience a couple of times when I was at primary school. Before they started recording the show Neil Came out and asked for 2 volunteers to come down and run down the stairs at the side of the house so we could see how the show would start. I got a finders Keepers pen as well.

Was also on Fun House audience.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Well I've spoken on the phone to a bunch of Rangers and Celtic players plus assorted other Glasgow living 'celebs'

Another CSR who posts here was speaking to Shell from Big Brother a few months back.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Kinda ;)

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

That would have been me. Very nice she was too.:D

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

What was she like on the phone though? :D

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Ive always had a soft spot for shell from big brother... oh well... that was the one who had the fight yea?

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Shes the one that did the cooking naked, and the lawn mowing, and the general running about.

Also she wasn't the gobby newcastle one or the thick londoner so thats two major plus points in her favour.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Graeme Souness, Rik Mayall, Saffron Burrows, Ed Tudor Pole, Johnny Marr (he came to my shop to give me some signed copies of the latest Electronic single and album at the time, because when I met him the time before, I told him I was a Smiths fan in the eighties, thoroughly nice chap) Richard Madeley, Robbie Williams, Prince and Vera Duckworth.

There are probably more, but I can't be bothered thinking. It's still before lunch.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

I met Timmy Mallet once whilst in hospital gfor the christmas party, there was a radio 1 DJ there as well if memory serves me correct but I really can not remeber him...

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Dunno if it counts as famous, but I went to school with Matthew Marsden (abortive career as popstar, shortlived role in Coronation Street, now living the high life 'starring' in Anacondas: The Hunt for the Black Orchid)

Right arse, he was!

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

That film was dreadful, incidentally.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

I've met Anthony Hopkins, Sarah Green, Chris Serle, Neil Buchanan, Peter Shilton, George Michaels dad, Mick Shannon, Tony McCoy, Nigel Benn and Richard Blackwood ( :drool: ). I also bumped into Kerry Katona and Suzi Mizi whilst out shopping on different occasions. :)

[edit] And Dick King Smith! :D:D:D

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Thinking on, I met Sarah Greene and Timmy Mallett at Butlins in 1992(ish) - a group of us from sixth form went there for a week and just had to see them. Apparently, with us all being 17 or 18, we raised the average attendance of the audience to 8 :D

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Sarah Greene, despite being completely oblivious to it, was largely responsible for me getting through puberty in one piece.

The way she made things with sticky-back plastic on Blue Peter gave me a funny feeling.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Hmm, not really "met" anyone famous. However, I do have some friends who are friends with Kate Lawler (winner of BB3) from Big Brother, I have seen her, and we even said "Hi" once. I have to admit she is a lot more attractive in real life than she is on camera.

I have bumped into (literally) Daniella Westbrook (pre cocaine nose job), Rachel Stevens (soo cute) & the lead singer from Dead or Alive (dunno if anyone remembers them, it was twenty years ago). My sister is friends with George Micheal's cousin, and I have met her. Nice lady.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

i meet al murray in the bar after one of his shows an dhad a long chat seems im one of the few people who saw his sky1 show and we had a nice chat about how sky1 sucks and how he sold out to ITV to do a one off show

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?

John Cleese - Toilets at a London Theatre
Gordon Ramsey - Book Signing (there are lots of these at Canary Wharf)
Gazza - his local at Dobbs Weir

Woooh.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Alyson Hannigan? You lucky, lucky boy :drool: :drool:

Oh, and I met Terry Pratchett at a book signing about 12 years ago :tu:

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

I used to work in film recording (a long time ago) so i met quite a few over the years.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

pmsl :D

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

I never met her, but I am loosly related to Labour MEP Barbara Castle..

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Why yes, yes I have.
Thanks for asking.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

A friend of mine went to school with Katie Price (AKA Jordan). I cannot repeat his opinion of her here as it's libellous..

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

It would be cool if some celebritites were registered on these forums.

Though I doubt they'd be using NTL lol.

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

I've met Trinny & Susannah (in fact was on stage with them at the Metro Centre in Gateshead - and yes they told me what not to wear) They are bloody massive!

I've passed Timmy Mallet in my town centre as well (he's often there because he is in panto)

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Right, can we just clarify this situation - is there anybody on here who hasn't met Timmy Mallett? I know he hasn't really got much of a career anymore, but stalking members of Cable Forum's a bit, well, creepy, isn't it!?

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

:rofl:

Its the fact he does not appear to have changed in the last 20 years that worries me..

and it could be that cableforum is just a guise for the 'Stalk Timmy Mallet Society'

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Yes, me, thank the gods!!

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

Anyone remember Gaz Topp from CITV? We were behind him in the queue for the ice cream van at some beauty spot in North Wales a few years ago ... :disturbd:

Its v tiring), Anna Friel (well stared at her in rapture outside Bury Tesco), Hooky from New Order (well stood next to him at an Oasis gig) Mani from Stone Roses/Primal Scream (he thought my mate was one of the Chemical Brothers), Ian Brown (well spotted him shopping in Chorlton Safeway), Clint Boon (top bloke), Frank Sidebottom (v. funny - bloke inside the papier mache insists on being interviewed in character, in full regalia), Robert Powell (momentarily)...... but no Timmy Mallet

I think that counts. Anyway, it's not like you passed water on him, is it?

And their music's crap :D

Re: Have you met anyone famous ?
 

I work with, and am friends with (well, most of the time, he can be a complete pain in the a*se) a member of the Climax Blues Band. They had a number 1 with "Couldn't get it right" (he apparently wrote that single) in the early 70s. They also had a couple of succesful albums. Mind you, if you remember them, you are old, and have a loooong memory..

Just to show how much they earned, he has an extremely nice house (went there years ago for a party) and is still living off his earnings as a band member.
