Celebrity Encounters III
I 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've got a Stephen Fry one
I was on a works jolly which involved a treasure hunt around parts of London (and some drinking) and we had to go and look at a statue outside St. Paul's for some reason. As we got there, Stephen Fry was with a small film crew doing a piece to camera on the steps outside the cathedral so we stopped to watch and listen. Maybe because I was wearing a suit, but people started approaching me asking if they could have their picture taken with him, so I said I was sorry but they'd have to wait until Mr. Fry had finished filming and could they keep it quiet please. By the time he'd recorded his bit I'd amassed quite a few people waiting patiently in line to meet him. I think he was a bit startled when he turned around.
