Crap Celebrity Spotting

Ok this is a thread re: the celebrity nobodies you bump into, and as a result, the US NOOLers probably wont have heard of the names mentioned here.

i) Today I saw the miserable sour-faced bitch that plays June Ackland in the Bill, driving a shitty Rover in Abbey Wood, SE London.

ii) Some years ago, I was in the next pisser adjacent to Paul Daniels at a service station on the M4. He had 'not a lot'.

iii) I had my car bonnet tapped by Richard Stilgoe in a safari suit, after nearly mowing him down at a zebra crossing in the nineties.

iv) My mate sold some coke in my local once, to Marti Pellow, the smiling 'housewives favourite' git out of Wet Wet Wet.

v) Stood behind Gary Rhodes, crap celebrity chef, in Macdonalds, ordering shitloads of bad food.

vi) Oh... and went into a pub once with both Gareth Hale (unfunny fat c___) and Steve Backley (failed Olympic spear thrower), drinking at the bar and not talking to each other.

Anyone else got any crap celebrity anecdotes?

Can anyone top this?

I sat next to Sade on a flight back from Germany once.She cried for almost the entire journey.

Myself and Louis Walsh had a very drunken discussion about he Pet Shop Boys at Electric Picnic a few weeks ago.

Seen Rory McGrath quite a few times around Cambridge... Not a crap celebrity spot, but a few years ago while on holiday in Iceland, we met Paul Heaton and a couple of the Beautiful Sotuh in a cafe in Reykjavik, got him to phone a friend to find out the footy results... Kept bumping in to him for the rest of the weekend... Sure he was stalking us!

A couple of years ago my wife went to a librarians conference in Edinburgh and stayed in the halls of residence at the conference centre. At breakfast the first morning she spotted a good looking bloke, smart clothes, perma-tan, hint of bling etc. ahead of her in the queue. She thought to herself not a typical librarian, but he looks strangely familiar. Anyway she remembered who it was - Andrew Ridgely (crap half of Wham!). He was staying there for some golf tournament that was happening. She now likes to joke that she has had breakfast with Andrew Ridgely (yawn).

I can remember knocking Norman Wisdom off his feet as he was coming out of the Oxford Apollo and Ruth Lawrence (maths child prodigy) and her dad off their tandem, also in Oxford (there's a pattern there somewhere.. )

Lord Owen in the airport in Anchorage, Alaska

Edward Woodward at the Crazy Golf in Sun City - he was crap by the way, talk about Most Golf!

Andrew Ridgely (crap half of Wham!).

Was there a good half of Wham?

Joely Richardson was in the pub by that festival in Cambridge last year

I saw one of the comedians from Whose Line is it anyway? at an airport a year or so ago.

Im mates with Philip Oliver,does that count?

See most of the Corrie,Hollyoaks etc lot out and about on a regular basis shopping or drinking in Manchester,but doesn`t everyone up here?

Sat at the next table to Carol Vorderman in The Slug & Lettuce once,she is really good looking in really life. I was quite suprised!

oh man.. I've got a bunch to add, but I can only remember three

Samia Ghadie (or Smith now whatever she's going by) using the ATM at RBS on Mosley Street in Manchester

Mathew Kelly after Cat Deeley replaced him in Piccadilly Gardens

Jonathan Ross (not crap tho I love him and want to have many many of his babies) outside the Beeb in Manchester when they were doing Britain's Best Sitcoms.

A fourth one--that's not really a spotting as I went specifically to an appearence of his: some short skinny black dude, Ian Wright's stepson I think...Lives in London now.. broke the heart of many when he moved down there..

Have pissed next to both Dave Gedge and Tiff Needell, though not at the same time obviously.

John Collins tried to crash the Viking pre-Hyde Park sesh - even brought his own security.

I had a slash next to its a knockout guffawmeister stuart hall once........

Met European Cup hero Jerzy Dudek at Manchester Airport on Friday

Saw Horatio Sanz (ex SNL cast member) at the food court at Carousel Center (biggest shopping mall in Central New York). Wanted to say hi, maybe get a pic, but lost my nerve as he seemed distracted and was about to move on after getting photographed by someone else.

Family was gutted that I didn't have the balls to go over and say "hi".
