Seeing Celebrities in the flesh

I was about 10/11 years old, my cousin (she was about 14/15 at the time won a competition on TFM to attend a under 16 gig at Liquid nightclub in Boro. Special guests where Atomic Kitten - my claim to fame was a peck on the cheek from Kerry Katona, only i turned my head so our lips met.

Anyone care to beat that.

I’m no celebrity botherer and glad I left Rom alone with his meal and I guess personal assistant… a couple of people asked for photos..

I always cringe when Tom hardy is spotted in Tesco hardwick and the gazette explodes with faux teesside pride over the fact he’d grace our humble area…

Its on the list of Gzaette headlines for no news days:

1/ Tom Hardy spotted in Tesco
2/ Parmo, Parmo, Parmo
3/ Lee Duffy
 
I’ve met Robert Carlyle. He’s a big champion of unsigned music.

Lovely man, couldn’t have been nicer.

Me too. I knew his lass as a kid. In fact I’m almost certain she was my girlfriend for about 20 minutes once. So he nicked my bird the **** and he wants to watch himself.
 
I had a few drinks with Super Hans from Peep Show, funny bloke. Also, Terry Sue Pat at a Boo Radleys gig, lovely fella. Best was Johnny Vegas who signed his card 'From one Boro boy to another'.

Stood behind Sally Lindsay in our local Co-op.

And browsing vegetables next to Manny in Tesco - he's small too.

Remember bumping into Stuart Pearce in Flannels Newcastle, and was surprised that he was fairly slim and not really that tall. Expected some big brick sh*thouse.

I've met Manny a few times as his partner is one of my friends best mates. He's a good laugh. He must have a weak bladder as he was often popping to the loo.
 
Ian Brown is smaller than you expect too.

Randomly saw him going into the Sainsbury's in my old apartment complex. When he realised I recognised him he gave me that "not today kidda" look so I left well alone. I really don't feel comfortable when talking to famous people so, except a passing comment to Bill Bailey once, I just don't.

To be fair she probably offers that on her OnlyFans page now, and so you may not be the only man she's ever kissed.

My mate maintains he had a "fumble" with her in the 90's as we had a lot of friends in common with her, and so he's come up with the same "Tom Hardy nicked my girlfriend" line before.

Noel Gallagher and I once shared a Boro nod in much the same manner, me going into and him coming out of Stone Island on Beak Street, Soho.

Uncle Harry (y'know, the Fanzine) is related to Charlotte. They were at a family wedding once, and H gave Tom Hardy a lift afterwards. H had no real idea who he was, so struck up conversation with a "so what is it you do, Tom?". 🤣

Mind you I was the same. I got a message from a friend on FriendsReunited years ago. We were in a band together, went out drinking every week when we were kids. I didn't recognise the name, but it was him. Anyway, I said "oh what do you do Steve?". "Oh I act, a bit". "Anything I'd know?". "Well...". Turns out Huison is his stage name, hence why I didn't recognise the name. He's barely changed since he was 17 and as my Mrs said, "how could you not know?".

I walked Sarah Millican from Boro train station to a comedy gig when she was still doing the Northern England circuit and we had a good chat about, well comedy mainly.

Smoked backstage at SIRF with Chris Sievey aka Frank Sidebottom, he let me briefly wear Frank's head which was a huge honour.

Hung out smoking, drinking and watching Family Guy with metal band Breed 77 as my housemate at the time was also from Gibraltar and actually knew them.

Also once got off with a reality show winner turned DJ turned...whatever she does these days
