Most unimpressive celebrity sighting

Once saw Uri Geller having his tea in the Wahaca restaurant near Leicester Square. I thought "that makes sense for him, Mexican food, no risk of getting in trouble for accidentally twisting up the cutlery".
 
Walked past Gail Tilsley/Helen Worth in Kensington High St.circa 85,we didn't speak,I think she had her mouth full at the time.
 
I’ve met one of the cheeky girls (Not sure which one)on a boat party on the Thames. Walked upto her and asked her if she would like her photo taken with me, my poor humour went straight over her head.

They also had Charlie Dimmock at our local garden centre flogging something or other the other summer.

I was on a flight once and Heather McCartney and her friend were sat next to me , she whipped out a box of dominoes and her and her friend played the whole flight - she asked me to play but I politely declined. Contrary to the press portrayal she seemed like a really nice woman.

Finally and breaking the rules as he’s quite famous,we were in a queue for a flight going to Thailand (sadly not Rio) I turned around and Simon and yasmin le Bon were boarding behind us, we got to the plane he turned left towards business class and his wife and three kids turned right towards economy class (I just thought you tight sod - all I can imagine is the food is better in business class and he was,wait for it, hungry like a wolf)

Todd Carty from Grange Hill/Eastenders/The Bill around 20 years ago coming out of a lift in a hotel in London.

Amanda Barrie from Carry On/Corrie walking through Covent Garden around 15 years ago.

Most famous - Our very own Ali Brownlee walking his dog behind the crematorium. I was walking mine and said hello. Lovely guy (as I am sure a lot of you know!) :love:
 
Nobby Styles came to our house when I was a kid but didn't come in.

Su Pollard held the door open for me in Binns Newcastle as I followed her out of the store, she is tiny.

Celeb anecdotes eh?

Sounds like it was Gabriela as her sister Monica has a great sense of humour and would have loved it.
 
Professor Green driving his convertible Merc (or BMW can't remember) down Hatton Garden in London with music blaring.

Also the drummer from Travis (who my mate pointed out who he was, and he only because he drank in the same North London boozer as him apparently).
 
Walked past one of the Alessi twins from neighbours in Oxford Street back in the 90's. Ashamed to admit I used to watch it.
 
Stephen Mulhurn walking down the road. Took me ages to twig who it was. "Say what you see" is kind of ironic
 
I bumped into Chris Quinten on the dancefloor of the Empire nightclub in 1994, I was a bit smashed and shook his hand and told him it was an honour to meet him, and it was 🤩
The night before, on Corrie, Nicky Tilsey had been shouted at by Martin Platt and as the programme was ending, Nicky shouts "You can't tell me what to do, you're not my dad!"
As the end music started, the camera zoomed in to a photo of Brian on the mantelpiece...
Yes, so it was bizarre that I met him the night after 😂
 
Stopped by Bernie in the farm lane a few months back "Yer have nae seen ma dogs, have ye?".................... "Yes I think that might be them bobbing up and down like loonies in yonder barley field". :rolleyes:
