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?)

Back in the 80's when fast bikes were good for you I was living in the Devon area. The Prince of Wales had a lot of work at Fastbuckleigh (sorry, Buckfastleigh) so we'd often hear of his presence via the papers. As you may know his lordship and loafing Special Branch entourage never bother much about about Road Traffic laws when going their important way. Which is why when one day as I was headed toward Totnes on my Honda NS400 at a fair rate, round a left-hand bend came 3 cars, the middle one a Bentley I think with 2 flags on the bonnet and with a Granada Scorpio front and rear. In the middle of the road - really fast. How I missed them I don't know. Fucking twat. Of course if the lead car had a prang then the other 2 would have zoomed off and left the plain-clothes to deal with the carnage, they think of everything. Made my blood boil.
Oh and at a Christmas Works meal (Music industry stupid) in a low key restaurant Cheryl Cole (nee Tweedy) was behind the bar, mixed me a Cocktail and brought it to my table, she was wearing a woolly jumper with stripey colours. And I saw the Gladiators (as in, all of them) at a local nightclub in the early 90's when I was thoroughly bad company. The girls were sat at a table with the guys standing around and the really tall guy, Shadow jumped back about 4ft as I walked toward him.... comedian.
