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 met Aussie rock star Ian KennyOkay, maybe not super-famous outside (or possibly even inside) Australia, but the Karnivool/Birds of Tokyo singer was at a gig I was attending. I asked him if he would mind coming over to meet my disabled friend who wasn't walking too well that night but really wanted to thank him for the music, and he gladly obliged. He was an utter gentleman in a way he didn't need to be, considering he was on a night out with his friends. His girlfriend was lovely, too. We had a good chat with her after the gig.
A few days later one of his bands were announced to be playing the AFL Grand Final which, for my countrymen back in the motherland, is kind of as big a deal as playing at the FA Cup Final.
