What's your super tenuous claim to fame?

I once walked past Jimmy Carr on Market Street. He even glanced at me for a second.

Was also on TV once as audience in Jeremy Kyle. Can't remember a single thing about the people that were on, but vividly remember that Kyle himself seemed even seedier in person.

An elderly gentleman approached me in an hotel foyer once and asked for directions.

He said he was touring that part of the country with his wife and I looked like a man who knew his way around.

I was able to direct him to where he wanted to go and he was very gracious.

That man was Tony Hart.

And my ultimate moment was being in Mothercare with Victoria Beckham when she was pregnant with Cruz, little Romeo was in his pushchair, our kids are all around the same age and how I didn't go into labour that day is a miracle as she is my girl crush!

I suspect he was trying to stay incognito as much as one can when you’re Wesley Snipes, so it was mainly grumbles about the length of queuing for the best ‘coasters. I might have mentioned about being a fan of his movies too. Love ‘White men cant jump’, and the Blade series.

Slept in the same bed and sheets as Kelly McGillis from Top Gun.

I was working as a part time barman at a hotel. Her and her then husband, this was in 1995ish, were staying there whilst their boat was being serviced or repaired.

I had served them drinks and such during their stay so knew their hotel room. After they had checked out, i was staying over as I was working early the next morning. They had checked out after the cleaners had gone so their room was still as it was. Got given the hotel room key for staying over and it was theirs.

I've been in a Jam video, I was in adverts for Ford cars and Ed Bishop (Ed Straker off UFO) came to my (parent's) house for dinner.

Willenhall

In the mid-1990s when I wasn't quite old enough to go to nightclubs - but looked old enough so I went anyway - I went to a club in Birmingham city centre with my then (slightly older) work colleagues. This was actually one of the more "bourgeois" clubs at the time as it was close to the ICC and a few TV personalities were known to frequent it if they had been filming at the ICC or the (then nearby) Central TV studios.

Before heading there my work colleagues kept banging on about some current famous female TV personality who was supposed to be a VIP guest that night who happened to possess "enhanced breasts" - something they were quite excited about. I was somewhat less enthusiastic; I had never heard of the lady in question - the only female personality I knew about at that time with fake breasts was Pamela Anderson. And it wasn't her.

Anyway, my work colleagues and I partied for a while, much alcohol was consumed and at some point I heard a shout of "Oh, it's her!" from one of my work colleagues. The (unknown to me) celebrity came over and had a brief, polite chat with us. During this chat my sozzled 17-year-old self blurted out something along the lines of "Fake boobs don't feel like real boobs though, do they?"

Oh...fuck. I knew I'd fucked-up because my work colleagues silently stared at me with a look that was a cross between horror and disgust. I started mumbling some sort of feeble apology when the lady smiled at me, grabbed my wrists and placed my palms on her (albeit skimpy) outer clothing, right over her breasts. She looked me in the eyes, smiled and asked "What's wrong with how they feel?"

I instantly blurbed and blarted some incomprehensible apologetic nonsense. As the lady walked away one of my work colleagues stared at me in awe and said:

"Dude...you just felt Melinda Messenger's tits!"

Quite a few..but recently sold an instrument to Woody jackson, the composer to the red dead redemption games.

My aunt went out with one of the members of simple minds (before they got famous). She took them all home to meet my granny. My granny made them put her washing out on the line.

My dad went to school with Sean Bean (but the year below him)

I've met and chatted to a few celebs, including Jeremy Vine (arsehole), Sophie Raworth (lovely), Jason Isaacs (lovely), the Shires (lovely...and she is stunning). Met and got a selfie with Pixie Lott, and Dermot O'Leary (very short and he touched my bum)

At work I have met Prince William, Theresa May and Queen Raina of Jordan.

Probably a few others but it's early and I need a brew

forgot these, I was a massive fan of really shit singer (kavana) and the big breakfast got in touch with me and invited me to an outdoor piece he was doing in Herne bay, off we went ridiculously early, I asked my question and it got cut!

I got tickets to see jack Whitehall when he wasn't that well known and it was for a TV show film at the hackney empire, I wasn't chosen to ask my question but I did when I went to see a comedian I can't remember his name for the life of me, it was the same format (I was very good at getting audience tickets at one stage), again wasn't shown on TV.

Saw the rob brydon show twice and was in camera with my mum and saw league of their own, where doughnut almost ended up just in his pants when the warm up guy got two members of the audience to play a game who could get the most clothes, I had to physically stop him from taking his shorts off lol.

About a week later we got ticket to the last leg, josh Widdicombe has been on league of their own and I don't know how we managed to speak to them all during an ad break but there was a reason they were asking questions and we told josh we had seen him and week before, his eyes went wide and called us stalkers (not the first time anyone has said that to me lol)

Stood outside the big brother house for a couple of days when 5ive was on there all week, I camped out with my friends, that was a lovely summer that was.

I was staying at a hotel near Leeds airport, went out to local pub as there was some European football on.

Settled down to watch it and an auld fella sat down next to me and asked which colour strip were Bolton wearing, told they were in black tonight.

I looked round properly at him as I sort of recognised the voice, was the great man jack charlton !

Throughout the game he gave great wee snippets of his insights to the tactics and was just a down to earth lovely guy.

Being Scottish I never thought I would say I was delighted to meet an English World Cup winner

We're not worthy...

I went to school with, and was in the same year as Frank Lampard, Eddie Hearne and Jodie Marsh. They knew me by name. Jodie was in a separate girls' school as part of the same public school, but we'd mix during breaks and lunch. Eddie was a real d*CK and a bit of a bully. Frank was still amazing as a player back then.

Jodie... Was a lot different.

At another school I was in the same year as Amanda Dawkins. Had a massive crush on her and had no idea later in life she'd write an article for a paper about being a nymphomaniac *facepalm*.

I collected charity for St Johns Ambulance as a kid, knocked on Frank Bruno's door in a super wealthy part of town. He gave a whole pound coin. (Even then I thought that was a bit cheap.)
