Re: Famous people I have met.
I met John Thaw while doing some "extra" work for one of his series.
Also Frank Bruno at a boxing bout the hubbie was in and a few motocross guys but no-one from here would know them I don't think.
Still waiting for Sly to turn up and whish me off my feet

Re: Famous people I have met.
I've not met many famous people. I've chatted with and had a kiss on the cheek from Jimmy Saville a few years back.
He had a flat next to the hotel I was working in so used to come in and flirt with the receptionists.
Ive met some guy that used to be in Neighbours.. he played a Doctor, I think called Clive??
Ive met a couple of childrens TV presenters donkeys years ago... cant even remember their names.
I met Daniel Bedingfield at some event in Peterborough.

As mentioned in the 80's thread, I met Dave Gilmore, Paul Weller and Martin Wotsit (Sique Sique Sputnik) all during one holiday in Rhodes!
Was involved in a dance club in my early teens with Michelle Gayle. She lived in the same street as me and believe me, she couldn't sing for toffee then!
Nick Owen and the secretary from May to December used to live in Berkhamsted, haven't seen them for a while.
Met Luther Blissett (Watford FC) in a gym in Abbots Langley many moons ago.
The bloke who played little Mo's nasty first husband (even so, quite dishy I thought!) and Kim Wilde at a children's farm. The former's voice is very distinctive which is what made my head swing!

My only claim to fame is that I met Diana Ross back in the 80s. She lived in the appartment above us with her Norweigian husband. I was an au pair at the time living in Oslo. She appeared quite friendly and opened the door for me on a couple of occasions.

Re: Famous people I have met.
Having worked at Heathrow I have met quite a few famous people who passed through. Kylie Minogue, Jamie Oliver, Chrissie Hyde, Mick Hucknell, David and Victoria Beckham, Bryan Ferry, Nick Faldo, Richard Branson, Tony Blair, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Vanessa May, Jackie Chan, Donny Osmond, Status Quo and quite a few others whom I cant remember their names. Jamie Oliver was one of the nicest and called me 'sweetheart' quite a few times...bless.
