So far then we have the real Steve Martin, and the neighbour of a mum whos son played in a band that Elton John wasn't good enough for - I knew I was talking to some real to life A listers!!

Ok so I am name dropping now, but dont want to feel left out lol. I used to be mates with Lisa Stansfield at school (many moons ago). We used to wag off school together and go and sit up at the local amateur rugby ground in the sunshine lol.

Nice one I've been to Rochdale a few times, lived about 12 miles away in Rossendale

Bill Roache (Ken Barlow) once held open the door to the chippy for me, he was going in as I was coming out, when he was living in Haslingden. I was 16 so it was a 'couple' of years ago

Oh yes - almost forgot - Tony Thorpe (Rubettes) was a mate of hubbys.

Yep I was brought up in miserable Rochdale, but luckily spent the last 20 years at Hollingworth lake so not too bad.

I used to manage a store in the Trafford centre and personally served David Beckham. God he was bloody gorgeous. One minute the store was empty and the next minute it was heaving. Even got his autograph cos he paid by credit card lol.

You breathed the same air as David Beckham

Yes Rochdale is miserable but Hollingworth Lake is nice, been there a few times too

I had a cup of coffee with Charles kennedy at my landlords house a few weeks back, does that count?


Ooooo and I worked for Greg Rusedski a couple of months back, and a lot more famous people as well.

Does that count?

Breathed the same air and made sure my hand touched his as he gave me the credit card slip back. I had to go and have a sit down when he`d gone cos my legs were like jelly

Anyway my mate paul mcartney told me its better not to name drop

as we are name dropping, I went to the same primary school as Jude Law

my little bro is a cover boy pin up this month does that count


(he is the one with the hat on)

My little brother is Andrew Pierce formerly Assistant Editor of The Times and now moved to The Telegraph. On television a lot these days and also on radio. Used to do a radio programme with Charlie Whelan on Sunday mornings. Does this count? Also knew Gilbert (Ray) O'Sullivan and his family from school and church days. My Home Economics teacher was the Mother of Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues. That's the nearest I get to being famous!!!

I think that puts you both on the top table - so far!!

I grew up with Gemma and Jodi Kidd, does that make a difference?

I'd wager an introduction, would see you in the VIP lounge!!
