Yet another story of meeting celebs at work (god I've had a lot of jobs)
I used to work in the Royal Albert Hall as a waitress and because I never got star struck I was always picked to work the celeb functions and to look after any celebs in the boxes. In my time there I met a ridiculous number of celebs including old time A listers such as Cliff Richard, Cilla Black, Gloria Hunniford etc. The only one where I actually got star struck was Terry Wogan - I remember watching him on the TV when I was barely out of nappies and I have to admit that I did purposefully go over and offer him some more wine. The oddest encounter was Gary Barlow from Take That about a year before they made their big comeback. I was working behind the bar at a function and he came up to ask for some more wine. I didn't recognise him until I noticed he was looking at me strangely which made me pay a bit more attention to him. I think he had me pegged as being the right age to have been a Take That fan and was worried that I was going to go all fangirl on him. He was right, I used to be a big Take That fan and when I was 12 I would have loved to have met one of them but I just treated him like any other person (might have been a different story if it was Mark Owen - I used to fancy him like mad). Not one of the celebs I met was rude to me in any way (which couldn't be said for a lot of the normal people I served) - all of them were quite courteous and said thank you if you offered them more wine and a canape. I think the nicest celeb I met there was Myleene Klass. I was the waitress one night in her box and she was telling me to have a drink and a canape myself and was quite upset when I told her I'd get in a lot of trouble if I was caught and so had to decline.
