Re: Which Famous People have you metKai Owen, Tom Price and Gareth David-Lloyd from 'Torchwood' (the latter one twice). Was awesome.
Think I might have met Cheryl Baker as well - I was on a video which she presented.
Non TV-related, also met David Blunkett and his dog Lucy when he came to my school (I think). -

Re: Which Famous People have you metI was Stephen Hawking's paper boy when I was 13 to 16, he lived behind a big black gate and I use to see him sometimes if I caught him at the right moments. I didn't really talk to him but he seemed really nice, gave me good tips at Christmas.
Stood behind Tim Westwood in a newsagents, bought some fags. My friend said alright Tim and he walked out.
Phil Jupitus visited a college I went to years ago, talk to the radio students. I went to watch a talk he did.
I met Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock, Ricky Gervais, Stewart Francis and Russell Brand becuase I use to go to alot of comedy shows. I've got some of their autographs. -

Re: Which Famous People have you metDimitrij Ovtcharov was sitting 6 rows in front of me at the men's team gold medal match at the olympics and I went up to him for a qick chat and picture in the break.
He is the most successful German Table Tennis Olympian for those who don't know. I also 'met' but didn't talk to Timo Boll (only German to be no.1 in the table tennis world rankings).
Oh and one cute athlete actually replied to me personally after I posted on her facebook page. Oh yea

Re: Which Famous People have you metI saw Olly Murs, wanted to get an autograph for my brother's fiancee who loves him, but he was in Nando's, and I didn't wan to interrupt his dinner.
I've met a few West End actors and they're all lovely, so down to Earth and pleasant! I met Jacqueline Wilson about nine years ago, she signed a copy of her book for me and had a photo, she was lovely. My 11 year old self thought my life was complete.

Re: Which Famous People have you metMe and my girlfriend danced with Brian Capron (Richard Hillman from Corie) at a club which Jonathan Wilkes got us into for free, that was entertaining.. My cousin's husband was in the panto "Pantos on Strike" so after a show we met up him went and got pissed with the rest of the cast.. Also met the comedian Ross Noble, he's a funny lad and he has his own tank.. xD He lives next door to a property my dad is developing so he speaks to him regularly.. even had his wife scream at my dad over the phone over dispute of land.. xD
My mate met Jimmy Page in KFC in central London once....Last edited by MadCatChiken; 27-08-2012 at 23:25.
