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?)

When I was 12 or thereabouts
I found myself in Söll (Austria) on a family skiing trip, 9-pin bowling in the lane next to Billy from London's Burning and his bird who was from some other show I didn't watch, maybe Brookside. After some time I eventually recognised that it was Billy from London's Burning, helped by the fact that I watched it most weeks, but my mother had to explain that the bird was some TV face as I had never seen her before due to my manly hatred of soap operas.
The whole thing struck me as mildly amusing yet completely inconsequential and it did not improve my bowling.
