Looking startled, she knew she was lucky then waved and smiled in embarrassment.
Seen her a few times since but on the pavement .
I worked for a guy who lived next-door to her in Salisbury

Met a few celebs over the years, the first being Arsenal’s Lee Dixon and Alan Smith in the bar at Highbury just after the team I support Man United had just beaten them 6-2 in the League Cup. Great guys and I think it was Lee who told a few Gazza the insomniac stories as they room shared when playing for England.

Our business holds customer entertainment events from time to time and although I tend to leave the celebs alone, Strictly’s James and Ola Jordan stood out as particularly nice and we’ve now had them 3 times.

My favourite encounter with one of our entertainers was Stan Boardman the comedian. I’d already met up with him as he arrived as he was cutting it fine with his arrival time and I was outside our place on the phone to him trying to guide him in as he kept missing the roundabout exit. After a great performance finishing with his German Fokker joke he spent over an hour talking to our customers - and there were over 400 - which he didn’t have to do. He finally made it outside when he said to me that he realised he needed to go to the toilet which was back inside our showroom where he’d just come from. He asked if I minded him peeing up against the building wall as he said it could be another hour before he set off on his long journey home if he went back inside.

No problem I said but it dawned on me what would happen next. As he was zipping up his trousers he put his hand out to shake mine and said ‘I’ve had a fantastic time tonight Steve, really enjoyed it and your audience was great’. It would have been rude not to shake it.

Unfriendliest was Roger de Courcey who had a poor attitude from the moment he arrived and bombed in front of our audience.

I met a few over the years especially when I worked for a copyright solicitor. I remember taking then members of Duran Duran to the office of thier then solicitor , they looked like scared rabbits! But very polite

Remember June Whitfield being an absolute diva along with Judith charmers.

When I was heavily pregnant with DD1, BA Robinson refused the offer of coffee from me and went and made me one, as well as his own

Chris akabusi we met at LGW waiting for an Orlando flight, he was so friendly exactly as he comes across.

I haven’t met any rude celebs, they’ve all been really nice.

Kylie Minogue, Pink, Travis & Christina Aguelira being the stand out ones.
The majority of the Rangers & Celtic FC footballers, back room staff, managers, and board of directors of the 2003/4 era as well as the European teams they played at the time were all friendly.

Of all the famous people I’ve met, the one that gets me the most respect from my teenager is Divina De Campo of UK Drag Race fame. I met her one night on a girls weekend in Manchester in the toilets of KiKi, she was AMAZING - this was pre Drag Race fame and we regularly have chats on Twitter. My 14yo is a MASSIVE Drag Race fan so they think I’m dead cool for “knowing” her.

For those talking about Come Outside, it’s the got to for my class of p2’s when it’s wet play. They are transfixed to it!

Cannot beat the classics!

I used to work in the wardrobe department in theatres.

Tony Robinson was horrible, he used to constantly fight with Tony Britton who was in the same show.
Michael Sheen -okay this was over 20 years ago but he was creepy and as a girl in my early 20’s he made me feel uncomfortable, hopefully he has matured with age.

Jane Horrocks, Gerard Kelly, Elaine C Smith and Kenneth Branagh where all lovely.
