Celebrity Encounters IIII once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

I'll keep these briefBecause they're shit and I've told them before, anyway.
I was at a backstage bit with a bar at a festival several years back where the (then) Dr Who cast were also hanging about. Billie Piper and David Tennant were having a chat standing by the bar. I tapped Billie on the shoulder and she ignored me, so I did it again. Eventually she must have realised I wasn't going away because she turned around and forced a smile and said "Hello! Pleased to meet you, I'm Billie!". And I said "Oh. Er... Hi... Sorry, but could you move out of the way please, I'm trying to get to the bar?" She looked quite embarassed...
Also, Nightshade from Gladiators attended my Mum's 40th birthday party, and she knows Steve Redgrave to say hello to. And my dad claims to have been punched by Keith Moon, have beaten Rick Wakeman at pool, and that as a teenager he taught Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders to bowl.
