Which famous person have you come across?

I was at a service station café around 1979 and couldn't believe when Marvin Gaye walked in with all his entourage sat down and obviously had food and drinks. A few people went up to him and asked for autographs, one asked for a autograph on a pound note as we had back then. I was amazed to see someone that famous where you never expected them to be.

I met Daniel Beddingfield. Years ago. I got my picture taken with him and he said I smelt lovely. He loved my perfume.

Love that little story, thanks for sharing. One of my favourite music videos is the rehearsal where Marvin is lying on the couch, wearing the green t shirt and sweats, singing “I want you.”

Just put on “Got to Give It Up” - one of my top tracks.

I have far too many silly tales, but I think my favorite is having most of Oasis turn up after a gig to a friends birthday party back when I was a youngster. They even spoke about it in the NME (they weren't very polite about it) and it was recently on the BBC website. 😆

I dropped a tray of champagne in front of Prince (now King) Charles. I worked as an events waitress for a while when I was younger and was absolutely terrible at it. I accidentally walked into his handshake line at an event, tried to make a speedy exit when I realised where I was, then watched in horror as each and every glass toppled over and the whole room just stared at me 😎

I also met Prince Andrew while working a similar event. He was pretty rude to me, to be honest! I wasn't a fan!

Sounds onimous but I once saw a reporter for Calender news once and I saw a lady who was in Coronation street who was a friend in the soap of Jack Duckworth in a Morrisons once lol 😆

Many many many moons ago when I was in my teens we went somewhere and Brian Clough was there not sure if it was a Bonfire night thing . I can remember him talking on the microphone to the crowd lol 😆.

When I was 16 I had a very badly paid but semi-enjoyable job as an external consular messenger. I had my own office on the top floor of a building on Cockspur Street directly overlooking Trafalgar Square. The mornings were great but in the afternoon I would be bored silly. The solicitors I worked for dealt with celebs, obtaining work permits for them etc. Occasionally the celebs would truck-up at the office. They would be ushered into my office and I would have to keep them amused. This didn't often happen, and I was never told who was going to be plonked in my office but it was various high profile people. To offset the afternoon boredom I would go into the typist pool and grab a ream of paper. Back in my own office I would make a pile of paper aeroplanes and shoot them out of the window along Haymarket. This caused me untold merriment as I was almost invariably a little bit stoned. One day I had made a pile of paper aeroplanes and was busy chucking them out of the window when in walked a very famous pop group. I am not going to say who they are because they are still around and still very famous and I wouldn't want to embarrass them! Anyway, they found bunging paper aeroplanes out of the office window just as much fun as I did! I couldn't keep up with demand. The more I made the more they threw. Eventually one of them sat down with me to help me make them. We all ended-up in hysterics of laughter. The big boss walked in. He was the miserable type. He looked at me, frowned, shook his head disapprovingly and walked out again. I didn't get the sack but left not long afterwards. When I see the band on the tv I wonder if they can remember the crazy afternoon they spent flying aeroplanes along Haymarket!
