According to the Wikipedia page of 'notable residents' in my town, we have that guy who used to play Nick off My Family... :dontknow: . Suspiciously, several famous people USED to live here, but they've moved away... :tongue:
Ozzy Osborne
Looked through Wiki for notable people: Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Andrew Garfield and Alex Kingston (for all you Doctor Who fans :smile: ) They probably don't live here anymore though lol

There was some young singer guy who i once served at ASDA when he was with his mum was shopping .

She was buying 10 identical "Happy birthday" cards for his fan club. (I asked why she was buying so many cards)

Can't remember the singers name. Similar age/looks to One Direction. Jonnie something? Jamie something? Looked a bit like a mop iirc...

Brighton is chock full of washed-up celebrities, can't say I've met very many of them though. Spotted Ian McKellan outside a pub once (not that he's washed-up :p:), didn't speak to him though.

I once got harassed by Chris Eubank's brother in Brighton. That was weird/scary. Just started yelling at me about horrible things his brother had supposedly done...

He seems to be always doing crazy things in Brighton.
