I used to work for upper class Virgin Atlantic at heathrow, and we used to get celebs every day. The ones that stick in my mind are posh and becks, daniel radcliffe (harry potter), meryl streep. i once escorted gordon ramsey and was shocked how tall he was! i got in heat magazine in the background when jade goody was being papped by photogs and i was escorting her, oh and naomi campbell told me she was going to sue me because i told her her cases were too heavy lol! xx
Ok am totally envious it_must_be_love think Chris Moyles is FAB! Have to say I guess it has something to do with where you live-no one really comes to Darlington! And lately I don't go too far either! You have all def beaten my Jack Dee spot!
I met the Stereophonics (back in 2001 when there were 3 of them!), also seen Keith Miller from Eastenders, Dean Gaffney (Robbie), Tony Adams, Lee Ryan from Blue, Calvin from Hollyoaks And I've served Charlie Brooks (Janine from Eastenders), Maxine from Corrie and one of the Nolan sisters (the one that was in The Bill) at work (mothercare) a few times
Saint Bertie, do you live near Kingston? I remember The Bill used to be filmed there a lot but that was quite a few years ago, haven't heard of them filming there for ages!! Gemma
God mine are crap but here goes...I used to work in a dog kennels and the Blackburn Rovers Footballers all used to bring their dogs in!I remember the dogs names more than the players lol! Vicky Entwistle(Janice in Corrie)gawd she does my head in!but ive stood nxt to her at the bar in a local resturant..yeah they served her first!pah!
Right quite a few, Robbie, Janine and Billy from Eastenders. Janines boyfriend at the time was doing club nights in Gran Canaria when I worked there. Also Molly from Corination Street was out on holiday there a few years back and she came on bar crawl with us and was soooo pissed I had to take her to the toliet!!!!! Best one that I met was Richard Hammond from Top Gear - did anyone watch his special about Guy Fawkes? I was there when they filmed the explosion. xxxxxxxx
Was a HUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE groupy of Boyzone the first time round and have spent many an evening in hotel rooms with them (there were about 10 of us who were total saddo's and followed them EVERYWHERE), met ant and dec, met the spice girls and have photos with them all, Robson green - drank cocktails with him, sue johnstone (from the royle family), taught anais gallagher and therefore met whichever brother it was and oooooooooohhhhhhh god what's her mum called - dur brain freeze so can't remember. Went to school with sophie ellis bextor - what a stuck up cowbag! Saw Gwyneth paltrow and (can't remember the lead bloke) filming scenes for Sliding Doors in my fav pub on the river - we were pee-d off cos it was closed so we just mucked up their shots by sticking our noses to the glass - till they moved us on Flew home from holiday once on the same flight as Chessney hawkes!
Went out with one of the World cup winning rugby players for about 6 months, therefore have met a lot of rugby people, martin johnson, rob andrew and his baby - random, jonny wilkinson, josh lewsey, lawrence dallagio, austin healey, matt dawson, brian moore, blah blah blah won't go on there. Met tim henman at queens club stella artois competition one year.
Gave the queen a bunch of flowers when she opened our shopping centre when I was about 5 - my mum still has the newspaper with the picture in it
Sure there are more - but my current one is that Jil halfpenny and her little boy come the the local mums and babies group I go to!
My best one has to be Katie Price (that was end of last year in WH Smiths) and i've also met Noel Edmonds a couple of times. I used to work as a waitress at the local university in my teens & Peter Phillips (the Queen's grandson) was studying there so used to dish up his dinner! Think that's as exciting as my claim to fames get being in Devon! I did read in the local paper that Johnny Depp was here filming Alice in Wonderland the other week and walked into the local pub there and ordered a pint. Seriously gutted i missed that one!!!! x
I've met Mister Maker I've been on stage at the end of a panto with Little and Large and I've met Geoff Capes. I think that's the best I can manage. Very jelous of all the people who have met proper clebrities. I will have to try harder
I Met Princess Diana at our local hospital when I was 5. I had made her a posie of flowers from the garden and a police man lifted me over the barrier so I could take them to her - the photo of me handing her them is still in my Mum's lounge now!
I went to the same school as Alan Carr and Michael Underwood, they were 2 years above me I think.
I literally bumped into Howard Donald at the Grand Prix, then sat 2 rows behind him and Gary Barlow to watch the race.
The queen came to do a visit on our hospital ward when I was a student nurse.
Martin Kemp opened the shopping centre in Loughborough that my hubby built and he gave me a kiss.
Me and my oh both went to school with plus CBeebies 'mister maker', and his mum was my music teacher at school! He lived around the corner from my oh! We both bumped into David Cameron last year in London. And my oh (a fews years ago now) was at a fullum match and sat next to Hugh Grant in the bar during half term and Michael Jackson was there surrounded by bodyguards..........he said it was really hard to see him as they cirlced him!! Oh and my brother in law was the vet on the vanessa felts show!
Just reading out the posts to oh-Geoff Capes wow and Terry Nutkins fab!! Seriously what great people you've all seen am very jealous! Not a lot of love for Sophie Ellis Bexter-I would have thought she's have been nice-just goes to show! All these brilliant spots and all from a thought I had in the shower! What will I come up with tomorrow?!! (dread to think!) Thanks for the replies this has been really fun! xx
I have a hotel in Corfu and one day a woman came upto me and asked if it was true that Darren Day was staying in the hotel. I didn't know he was famous as had been living abroad for a few years.
During his stay I got to know him quite well (not in that way - I was married and my son was about 2). He seemed a really nice guy. At the time he had just broken up with his girlfriend (coronation street star) and seemed quite upset about it. He really liked my little boy and said that he would like a son like him one day. At the time we used to do a Karaoke night and word got around that he was going to sing. He got up and did a few numbers. The bar was packed and we made more money that night than we usually took all week. One night him and his mates went skinny dipping in the pool. I had started to realise that he was quite famous at that time and thought if I took photos of him swimming nude I could probably sell them and make some money. But he was such a nice guy I couldn't do that.
I was shocked a year later when I saw a documentary about him and he was being so awful. It was nothing like he had been when he had stayed in the hotel. So I think really he is a nice person but acts like an arsehole to get attention.
When he left he gave me his phone number and said to contact him when I was next in England and I could come and stay with him for a few nights. Never called him though.
