Celebrities part IIFive years ago, we asked if you've ever been rude to a celebrity, or have been on the receiving end of a Z-List TV chef's wrath. By popular demand, it's back - if you have beans, spill them.

Many moons agothe company I was working for at the time held a joint Xmas party with lots of other companies at the Palace Hotel in Manchester. One of the companies in question was Granada TV so there was a managerie of local, sub z list faces there.
As an avid fan of The Krypton Factor (particularly the observation round), you can imagine my utter delight to see Gordon Burns there who had recently become (and still is) a newsreader for Northwest Tonight. With a few pints sloshing away inside me I approached him and shook his hand. Seemingly quite pleased to meet a fan he introduced me to Lady Burns and the weather girl from his news show. I then proceeded to tell him that I much prefered him in his Krypton Factor days and asked him if he'd had any interesting threesomes with his present company.
The look on his wifes face was precious!
It was also the first night I'd ever tried the demon weed and ended up tossing a lemon meringue pie over the dancefloor in true 3 Stooges style. I also had a walking wee down a corridor whilst lost.
Basically, I turned into a twat for the night because Xmas was round the corner.
