Melvyn Bragg.
Went to sixth form with fearne cotton..... But this is obviously before she was on telly/ radio!
When I was growing up lived down the road from Linford Christies and John Suche; Met both of them a few times in the shops.
A friend of mine works for the radio 1 so occasionally dishes out free backstage passes for gigs.... So I've shook hands with the Saturday's, girls aloud, coldplay...and snow patrol.
But my most random.... A few years back, was in HMV with some mates.... And we were looking at the chart CD's and the girls aloud greatest hits was pretty high up there.... And one of us said "greatest hits.... When have Girls Aloud even had a single great hit" just then we turn around and see Sarah Harding behind us

Met and got Vic Morrow's autograph when I was in the first grade in the Philippines circa 1963. He was the star of the American WWII series "combat" and died filming Twilight zone the movie in 1982.
I was on a plane leaving Salt lake city a few years ago. After take off had my Ipod going. Turned it off for lunch. And the fella next to me starts talking music. Had a nice chat. I commented that he knew a lot about music. He said he should as he was in a band. Turns out he was the drummer (Omar Martinez) for Paul Revere and the Raider from 1972-2006. Super Super nice guy. Even gave me an invite for dinner with his family at their home. But alas, I was packing and moving my elderly mom across the country and had to decline. I always regretted not going.
Went bowling with Kevin Schwantz and his father at Suzuka and got to stay in the Team Pepsi Suzuki pits during practice. I will be forever indebted to the British moto journalist that took pity on three American GI's Sitting in the rain three days before the race looking quite sad that no bikes were going on track. He cheered us up by getting us press passes for the 1987 Suzuka Grand Prix. Kevin Autographed that press pass. Also had breakfast at the rider's/press buffet with Randy Mamola, Kenny Roberts, Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson all at the same table I was at.

I never seem to notice them, though sat next to a portly fella on the way to Athens in about 2000 up in Business.
Got chatting about a few world events & he seemed quite knowledgable ... turned out he was the UK Defence Attaché & jokingly I asked what kinda credentials he had to be given that kinda position, to which he replied he used to be the Captain on one of HMS Trident submarines...
no point in putting my CV in for that job

I played football with Tora Andre Flo ( Ex Chelsea forward ) a few times in the last year on the indoor training ground at Reading FC and yes he's still got it.
Sat next to Rick wakeman at stansted airport while eating my full English, hes a scruffy git.
Went to see Reading FC play with the Hoosiers and got pretty drunk with them afterwards in the Bar ( a friend went to school with them)
Also went to school with Ian Waite off strictly, funny thing is i can even now remember sitting in the same English class having a group discussion on hobbies etc , when he declared hes was Ballroom Dancing and a few snigger's from us more manly students he said 'Well at least i get to dance with attractive girls every day' at the time it made sense but of course we now know different ( And yes he is what we thought he was back then.)Oh how a 14 year old boys mind works shame on us.
ops almost forgot played football with Phil Parks , Alvin Martin and Steve Potts and had a few drinks with Frank lampard , Michel carrick when there were still at the Westham academy

Sir Bobby Charlton gave me a reference for my first job at MUFC, while I was there I dated Sir Matt Busbys grand daughter (once!). Met loads of players and George Best really was a nice guy.
Played with the Jam for a couple of hours
Met quite a few B list politicians, all seem interested in what I said but never really absorb the details
Boring and provincial now - lovely!

Like Inkey i've met lots of famous people as i work in TV. Honestly way way to many to remember.
Highlights have been Kylie squeezing her t1ts for me, watching an England game with Jerry Springer and a nice chat with Mariah Carey trying not to look up her skirt.
Also living in a nice part of London, celebrities are everywhere, Emma Thompson lives in my road, as does that woman who was in that Hyacinth bucket program and i sometimes see Jude Law with his kids up the park.

I've met a few, Terry Butcher probably the highest profile.
went into WHsmiths in newcastle train station to kill time once, browse magazines, pick up edition of Loaded, full special spread Kelly Brook photoshoot, i flick through it appreciatively, put it down and turn to my right and Kelly Brook is stood right next to me! (stunning, by the way. And very petite)
Turn round further and there is ( then boyfriend ) Jason Statham. Who is also very petite in real life. Gave them a nod and scuttled away mildly embarrassed at thoughts I'd just been havingn

Well all this lot makes mine ( excluding the Queen ) look pretty feeble ! Whats happened to you Lucy ? As a virtual newbie on here I've already marked you down as a bit of a celebrity in your own right - in fact when I first saw your pictures I did wonder if you actually exist ! Anyway you do look as if you mix in glamorous circles - I bet you've met a few celebs - c'mon spill the beans !
