John Kettley?


horrible story

I was out in Birmingham with a friend who was a massive Baggies fan. He was stupidly drunk, saw Kevin Phillips, introduced himself, and felt compelled to introduce all of us to him, despite him clearly not giving a shit. And me neither really.

He really is very, very small.


the dwarf

out of the film willow hehe


paul daniels?

wasn't really that funny or a very good story.
darren campbell - Olympic runner, kinda famous really, but no one knows who he is when i talk of him.
he gave me a black man hand shake and asked me if i was sober, i lied and said 'yes of course i am!'


thats a pretty good story

you win so far. although maybe if it was a less successful runner you would win more.


Chesney Hawkes

I'M A STUDENT!!!!!!!


I walked past Russel Brand...

...in a corridor at the BBC studios. I said to the person next to me "hey is that Alex Zane?" (this was back before Russel Brand was famous) and he looked really pissed off.

Can't blame him really. Ah well!


you basically just asked your friend

'hey is that one of the biggest cunts alive today?'


.

and it turned out to be the second biggest cunt alive


irrational hate of russel brand

gotta love it


Why do you assume it's irrational??

He is, after all, very very very hateable.


Like I said

I can't blame him for being pissed off.


i went to college with alex zane!

he used to go out with my friend!

he was a nice bloke, not a cunt!


...

^^^^^
Tom Clarke sympathiser.


if i was him, i'd be smug too!

even smugger than i already am


...

Tom Clarke?

If I was Tom Clarke I'd fuckin' OD on kebabs.

Do us all a favour.


dick and dom?

in a burger king, strangely enough. in thorpe park


in a rubbish celebrity kind of way...

maybe we're thinking on different wavelengths


Paul 'Fat brother of Jonathon' Ross

At the hotel at alton towers when I was about eleven. The hotel has a swimming pool and you know when theres always a middle aged man happy to get nude in the changing rooms well Paul Ross was that man.


I've seen his cock

although my memory has thankfully blocked out the mental picture that could have potentially scarred me for life.


I served him once,

at the checkouts in Sainsburys, no one else recognised him or even knew who he was.


its cos

he didn't have his cock out

when he gets it out he gets mistaken for keith chegwin

he just can't win can he?


When I was little

I was with friends, and we chased Jim Bowen into his hotel, with him shouting bugger off or something at us.

I also saw Bernard Manning, and said awight Bernard in a Bernard voice. He said awight son in a Bernard voice.

Zoe Ball also once bought me a pint, but I don't think she's rubbish.


the other day

i was at mc dondands and former boro player bearine slaven sat next to m a started talking to me


Chris Hughes

from eggheads.. in 1983 or whenever he won mastermind. so (slightly) famous the first time round.

Oh, and Mark Curry came to my parents house once to interview my friends dad for TV


funny you say that

cos I was on a ex-boro players message board the other day and Bernie Slaven was telling Robbie Mustoe how he once met Jamie Sample in McDonalds.


OH!!!!!!

I've thought of a better celeb!!!

Stuart Hall.

He was a news reported on the BBC, as well as being the laughing presenter of It's a knockout. When I was really little I was on Blackpool beach with my classmates building sandcastles, and he was there doing some piece about something or other.


claire roberts


Craig Charles

is pretty rubbish - he was coming off the Loch Ness submarine, when I was about 14 and told me "that was wild, mayt"

A better, second hand story - my mate once met Dan Marino (remember - Ace Ventura?)... He signed his cap - took a short step back - pointed at him and winked - "stay safe, kid".


...

Oddly I spend about 10 mins today doing an impression of Ray Finkles mother today.

"Dan Marino should die of gohnorrea and rot in hell. Cookie?"

"Whataya know, there little footballs."

"Laces out."


not the fat one...

...from the roly polys.

see here... for those not old enough to remember.

http://www.nigelround.co.uk/infopages/roly_polys.html

i got run over by the rose queen float back in a northern market town i grew up in.. ( i was collecting money at the time) - she was the fete 'celebrity' and came to see my in the St Johns tent!!

LOL!


I once served

Lisa Scott-Lee of former steps and dancing on ice fame. She came into the cinema with andi peters and some other guys I didnt recognise. She was rather haggard looking. Andi Peters was pretty buff but showed signs of ageing.


:D


BRADLEY

S CLUB

OH and i was at the pub with Stuart from Big Brother the other night


I met him!

He was acting all gangsta in Pacha one night

Cock


...

ive been drinking with him and (see above) another dude called dan ( who played wulf in robinhood pot) cos my ex used to be a bit of an actor and they've all known each other.. but dan & danny were ok.. oh and john simm, daniella denbigh ash, and some random kids tv presenter fk knows what his name was.
oh, and the two guys off hollyoaks, they own the chilled eskimo in west london... full of small time tv actors in there .. loada shiiite


my mate had lunch with him at the airport

totally randomly
he was nice


Hardeep Singh Kohli

I was really drunk and told him he was my favourite Newsnight Review presenter. I then asked him "how can I be as great as you?" and he said "drink less red wine." I then accused him of being sleazy for some reason I can't quite remember.

Luckily though I stumbled into him again the following day and was able to apologise. He seemed pretty cool with it. Nice guy.


Eddie

The Eagle Edwards


Gary Wilmott

- at the Cliffs Pavillion restaurant, Southend, circa 1984. He was on TV at the time in a kids show called 'So You Wanna be Top.' He signed a paper napkin for me.

Bizarrely, the only other time i've asked for an autograph, was at the Slough Festival 92, from the bassist in Silverfish


double :D

Had my graduation there just last year. Good times


Jeremy Beadle

When I was at primary school and he probably still did 'Beadle's About'.

I saw his tiny hand.


i too have seen his tiny hand

i gave him a vodka and tonic, which he held in his tiny hand. the very same night i served jim rosenthal. jimmy carr was doing stand up. this was a crap celebrity haven.


The Chuckle Brothers

They weren't with the "...and no slacking!" man though


THE BEST CELEB STORY!!!

I can't believe I forgot this:

Isla Fisher was doing the summer season with Darren Day in Blackpool. She used to come to my local and drink (and play pool). One time we were in and a guy, Dodgy Pete went up to her and said "I stopped watching Home and Away when you left", she said "aww thats sweet", and as he turned to walk away he said "Well thats not true, I just stopped wanking over it"

I love that story.


Another one...

Another summer season. The Alessi twins from Neighbours were doing some show, and my friends saw one of them sat on the next table to them, and a girl I know said "Oh, she was the pretty one, where is the one with the gammy eye?"

...

She was sat directly behind her.


eugene from big brother 5 or something

my friends went up and started talking to him in the natural history museum in london. then he followed us around. for about half an hour, regaling us with thrilling stories about how he's terry wogan's secret nemesis, and how extensive his knowledge of buckfast is. you get the idea.


I have met the legend that is

Donny Tourette on a number of occasions.


...

i bet that was mildly amusing


^

Seemed alright to me, had a chat with him before his band went on once.


DR Karl Kennedy

but im proud of this.

ZING!


Diego Lopez

Villareal goalkeeper.
hes my cousin though so does it still count?


Gangrel


lmao gangrel


ive met the Road Dogg

he tried to charge me $15 for an autographed photo.


Orville!!

I accidently pulled his wing off then I cried because my auntie told me we had to leave as I'd killed him :(


My friend served Izzy from neighbours a smoothie.

That sounds like a euphemism.
He asked her if she wanted to join membership scheme because he didnt know who she was and didnt realise she was only visiting. She was a bit shocked, apparently.

Again, that sounds like a euphemism.


She should have said:

"Why, are YOU a member?" and then made wanker signs at him whilst mouthing "MEMBER! MEMBER!"

I wish I was famous.


ANDI PETERS!

When I was about 8.
He was a wanker.


victoria wood

at a petrol station
when i was about 5


david from eastenders

in 'The Box', a gay club in Soho, when I was 19 (about 9 years ago)


sinbad

my mum crashed into his trolley in Asda when i was with her then realised it was sinbad lol


celebrities really do like

Asda.

Kira from This Life winked at me flirtatiously in a Juice Bar in Soho, also about 9 years ago.

She was with her girlfriend.

Basically, all my rubbish celebrity encounters have been with gay people in Soho.


who

not a celebrity, never heard of her


yeah, she was famous

briefly while she was on 'This Life' which was a huge television phenomenon. But no, she's not at all famous unless you've watched the programme.


never heard of it

not a celebrity


haha

not sure why I'm bothering to reply, as 'My encounter with Kira from This Life' was only mildly exciting, but This Life was a pretty seminal programme on BBC2 in the mid to late nineties. There's no recent tv equivalent really - maybe Skins - cos most people watch DVDs of cable television shows or split their viewing time between about 100 different television channels.


never seen skins

looks gay

i watch boss TV like Lost


Booo

Don't compare Skins to This Life. :(

Egg would roll in his grave.

My lamest celebrity encounter would be Keith from the Office at Latitude this summer. Lovely.


no, it wasn't a quality comparison

This Life > Skins. 4eva.

Talking about The Office, I walked past an acquaintance in Stoke Newington who was with Stephen Merchant from The Office. They know each other from being a drama group in Bristol. I said, 'Hi' and then tripped over. Great.


I met him in Fab Cafe in Liverpool not so long ago...

I got him to sign my cinema ticket for 300 (after muchos cider I might add).

I'm not quite sure which part of this story I'm more embarrassed about, the actual autograph or that I went to see 300...


Ken Morley on a pushbike

Better known as Coronation Street's Reg Holdsworth.

I was about 16. He rode past my friend and I with his kids. My friend Craig, being the loveable bastard he is shouted, "Rrrrrreginald you big git". The look of embarrassment on his kids' faces was brilliant.

also walked past tony wilson on oldham street in manchester back in may or june. didn't say anything.


George Alagiah

Watched a play I was doing in Durham Cathedral, and said he liked it
