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 was lucky enough to be the meat in a Jedward sandwich.
A friend 'won' 2 tickets for their gig complete with a meet and greet beforehand.
Wondering what the fuck we were doing, we got a slightly bit tipsy beforehand then met the other lucky winners at the venue. It was a lovely young man escorting his nephew who was about 8 and ever so excited. The manager came out to meet us, and fair enough being met by two 40 year old women stinking of fags and booze wasn't the most exciting thing ever, but he was a complete cunt to us all, including the 8 year old kid. We were ushered backstage...
Kiddie was BESIDE himself at this point...then they came out. Bounding out of the dressing room all ready for the show covered in make-up and weirdly dressed and jabbering on at a million miles and hour. They gave the kiddie loads of attention and posed happily for pics. I asked them to say 'potato' and they did! They didn't want to but I made them! They also gave me a Jedward sandwich kiss on each cheek. Poor buggers.
Then cunt face manager blustered and shoved and pushed cameras away and insisted that time was up, and threw us out the door.
As I was the last one out, one of them shouted after me "do you have the goggles'? (kiddie had pics taken with their ski goggles on)
Erm...no. sorry.
Then I ran off.
We meandered to the bar, kiddie almost too stunned to speak.
As I was about to order a drink, my mate pulled her bag open and gave me the *look down* eyes. There, in her possession, were a pair of Jedwards ski goggles. She had lifted them from the uniform rail.
It was NOTHING to do with me. We then kind of panicked at our terrible crime and decided to not go the gig for fear of being arrested, but carry on getting a bit more pissed elsewhere.
After a while we decided we DID want to see them sing so went back for the second half.
It was HIDEOUS. Just awful.
Although, we were sat behind a row of girls, who wet themselves at the sight of a stage prop from a Jedward show.
I will never forget being pissed, watching the finale of them doing 'Ghostbusters' with only one of them wearing goggles, while some 14 year old girl grabbed them off my mate so she could 'smell the strap'.

(Totally not on topic, but...)I've been trying to figure out whether you've actually transported Herb Alpert to a destination, or if you're simply a massive fan who wishes she was driving the taxi in Tijuana Taxi.
