Seen the Chuckle Brothers a few times. Even got their autographs.

Met John Steel and Mick Gallagher from The Animals only last year, some nice autographs to boot.

Watched the Kaiser Chiefs last year too, as well as Gerry Marsden and P.J Proby.

Once saw Bruce Jones (Les Battersby) wandering down the high street in Conwy. Didn't look very approachable at all. Look like he'd place a well rounded punch straight to your nose. He probably has done.

Met Bryn Terfel at the Greenwood Forest Park near Caernarfon.

3 years ago, I was sitting outside my mates house when I spotted a group of lads swarming round this well dressed man in shades, sporting a mop top hairstyle. It was Kris Marshall off the BT adverts, previously Nick in My Family. He was up in Llandudno to attend a wedding.


Anyone else got some sightings to share?

Saw Robson Greene at Gatwick Airport in October 2007. Aye, pet.

Other than that...my dad saw Eric Bristow playing darts in Portsmouth the other day...

Like Tom Hanks and his football on that island in 'Cast Away', it looks like it's just me and the bots here now. But that's alright, we're having a grand old time. Aren't we, Wilson? WILSOOOON?!

A few of us who were once part of the furniture, once stalwarts of the grand and extravagant, exuberant and thriving forum, have receded back into the walls, still faintly visible, still here as poignant, reminding relics of an era gone by; but most of us have vanished, forever immersed in the mists of time.

The only celebrity on this planet to have ever graced my presence is the one and only Mr. Peter Kay. Although they say "don't meet your heroes" (he's not my hero, don't worry...) he is JUST like he's shown on TV.

I saw Fred Dinenage at a car show in Port Solent, near Portsmouth, about ten years ago...he's quite the famous figure around my "local" area.

I liked his "Murder Casebook" series on the Crime and Investigation Network last year. He's also very good on Meridian Tonight. :smt023

Not sure if these really count, but:

Jenny Pacey (enigma from Gladiators) who was at a sports presentation at my sister's school a few years back
and Lee McQueen from The Apprentice came to my college a few weeks ago

There was program on BBC a couple of years back called "Exile" which was filmed in my hometown. I didn't meet but I saw both John Simm and Olivia Colman whilst they were filming just in front of my house. :D

I've met Bob Eubanks.

He is an American game show host who has been to England because he has hosted the British version of his American game show called "Infatuation." His most popular game show was the original American version of "Newlyweds" (We call it "The Newlywed Game.")

He was also responsible for bringing The Beatles to America.

Not one, either because I'm unlucky, or most likely that I don't know of many celebrities, and don't care to recognise them... :suspect:

I saw Frankie Boyle in the RSC theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in July this year. It was pretty damn surreal, just sitting there during the interval for Titus Andronicus only to look down from our gallery seats and see the bespectacled Glaswegian sitting there. He walked past us outside, donning a baseball cap to deter interest.

I say Joan Collins game of DoND at the studio, and a few days after was shopping in TK Maxx, and who did I see with her daughter and grandchildren?? ONLY BLOODY JOAN COLLINS!

We spoke for a couple of mins, she was very happy to discuss the charity, and her time on DoND. Lovely lady.

Since I posted that list in May, I've seen a few others including Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley in Coronation St), Eddie Izzard, Jocelyn Brown and Paul O'Grady. Although I'm cheating a bit because I saw them whilst I was in the audience for the Paul O'Grady Show last month. :P

Perhaps more strangely, I spotted actor Peter Gunn (who used to play Brian in Coronation St) while I was in London for the POG Show, who was randomly walking around on the streets near the ITV studios. I went up to him, confirmed it was him, and took a 'selfie' with him which I posted on Twitter. :P

I know that you either like Paul O'Grady or you don't.

Interestingly, there was an American TV show called Peter Gunn, but it was fiction.
