Who's the most famous person you have met and where did you see them?

[andy hughes]

I am at a considerable advantage here as a music journalist, my most famous interviewee is Sir Cliff Richard. I met him doing a video shoot in the gardens at Alton Towers, which, unlike the funfair, is very tranquil and quiet. Cliff was there, with a full film crew and a speaker sistem playing his single, while he strolled along miming. An old couple wandered past, and the lady said 'Do you know, you look exactly like Cliff Richard!' 'I am Cliff Richard.' responded the Peter Pan of pop. 'Oh yes, very nice,' replied the old lady, proof if any were ever needed, that old people just don't listen!

Gos from Big Bro 4! Or Alex Ferguson, David Beckham and the rest of the 95/96 Manchester United squad staying at my local Swallow Hotel. Daniella Westbrook before her cocaine addiction took her nose away, Dennis Bond who wrote the munch bunch books, Jodie Kidd, Jamie from Eastenders, Kenneth Noye (the bloke who stabbed Steven Cameron on the A20 about 10 years ago), Natalie Umbruglia, Lucy Benjamin (Lisa in Eastenders) and Kristian Schmidd (Todd from neighbours). Take your pick! I reckon David Beckham wins it. Closely followed by Alex Ferguson!

met goldie hawn in london. saw some woman walking down with hair so bright that it looked like you were looking into the sun. she stopped to look in a shop window and as i walked past i realised it was her. it was about 5 years ago so she was probably in her late 40's but looked amazing.

[natalie_1982]

I've met Ryan Giggs, Mick Hucknall, Paul Whitehouse, Rory McGrath, John Virgo, Father Christmas .... really clutching at straws here ... nope, can't beat David Beckham.

[natalie_1982]

Oooh! The cast of Hidey High! I met them at Butlins when I was eight! Ha! Dolallygirl - beat that :D

Had squash and biccies with Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee. The chap over the road from me used to be quite high up in the magic circle. Bumped into Simon Day from the Fast Show at Swindon train station. That's it....

Bill Bailey, Dave Spikey, Johnny Ball, David Dickinson, Joan Collins, Gwen Taylor, Steve Ryder, Sue Barker, Michael Winner, the Pet Shop Boys, loads of the casts of Corrie and Emmerdale, Julian Clary, Rhona Cameron, Mel and Sue...there must be others I've forgotten (I work in a theatre)...my fave, who was probably the least famous, is Mark Radcliffe, ex-radio 1, now radio 2. Just cos I'm a huge fan and he was really nice and friendly.

[natalie_1982]

Kind of puts the cast of Hi-de-hi into perspective..... :(

bumped into Thom Yorke once at the arts cinema in Jericho, Oxford (can't remember its name, is it the Phoenix?). Had had a few and he wasn't too impressed when I asked for his autograph (wouldn't normally have bothered him if totally sober). Said he was 'on time off' but eventually gave in to my rude persistence.

[natalie_1982]

Rja - Do you know Jericho? I live in Oxford! And Thom Yorke went to school in Abingdon which is where I grew up. An exbf of mine was friends with his bro Colin.

[natalie_1982]

MN8. Remember them? They were supporting East 17, I was 11 and I met them. Woooo!

[becks]

the spice girls, prince, various soap type people, tony adams and i've seen a load walking around in london... one day people will be on here saying they've just seen me...

[natalie_1982]

I have met a good one... Xmas shopping one year with my mum in Toys R us for my little bro. I'd just bought him the Arsenal annual when I saw Martin Keown, who very kindly signed it for me ... my mum thought he worked then and proceeded to ask him where the yoyo's were. I could have died.

[gem_mother]

I've seen Bob Carolgees (without spit the dog!) in his candle shop, Matthew Kelly in our local Chinese restaurant (he was wearing a leather baseball cap!) and Paul Shane in a pub. I also saw several members of the Hollyoaks cast filming in Chester city centre (I don't know what they were called, but they were blond). Also, my daughter saw Kevin Webster from Coronation street at Quarry Bank Mill.

[Tony Monero]

I once met Ray Reardon in a happy eater in Devon!!!! I think I win!

[natalie_1982]

Who's Ray Raerdon?

[Closer]

I met the Pope in Castel Gandolfo in Italy. Somehow, I got invited in to the villages 'festival of peaches'. I also chatted with Morrissey at a Beautiful South gig in New York. Pretty good considering I'm not a catholic or a smiths fan.

[natalie_1982]

The Pope? I think you've won hands down Closer. My partner met Prince Charles when he was at school tho (my bf was at school, not Charlie!).

[Doolallygirl]

The Queen and Prince Phillip opened my local shopping centre but I was only about 2 when that happened so don't remember it! I saw Frank Bruno in Hamleys but he wouldn't reply to OI FRANK so we tried Alright Harry and he gave us a wave! I met Cannon and Ball in Bournemouth too! Oh and Jade Goody and Jeff in Lakeside! Cheryl Baker shopping in Marks & Spencer in Bluewater!
