Anyone ever unexpectedly spotted a famous person/celebrity when out and about?

I spotted Christopher Dean (of Torvill & Dean fame) wandering through Sheffield town centre a few years back

Anyone else?

When I worked in Marylebone in the 90s, I often passed the late Wendy Richard in the street, presumably she lived in the area.

I seem to have a unknown thing for The Bill.. reason being I've seen two of the actors (one was standing next to me on a train station platform), saw a group of them filming a scene at a London train station and was in communication with another for a short while but he has since moved to Nigeria and now married

Goldie gave me 5 black bags of baby clothes about 4 years ago. He posted on Twitter if anyone wanted them before they went to the charity shop and as I was pregnant and lived nearby I said yes. I met him outside a pet shop in Bovingdon. I'd forgotten all about that!

(Unfortunately it was mainly girls clothes and I had a boy so it went to the charity shop anyway). He still follows me on Twitter.

Also (one for the parents here), we stayed in a hotel in Manchester in 2014 next to BBC studios and as we went down for brekkie I walked past a guy and said to Mrs "I swear that was Dr Ranj from cbeebies", and 30 mins later we were talking to Andy and Syd from cbeebies, and sitting opposite Mr Maker haha.

Some guy at my roulette table asked if I wanted his autograph.

He asked if I knew who he was and when I said I didn't he told me he was Julian Joachim to which I replied "nope, still don't know who you are, sorry"

I once pissed off one of S Club 7 and she did the whole "do you know who I am" thing with me. I didn't so she complained to my manager that I was bring deliberately insolent. It didn't cross her tiny mind that I genuinely might not have a clue who she was. Unfortunately for her my manager was about as clued up on popular culture as I was so he didn't have a clue who she was either which only made her angrier

I don't really do random meets, more just walking past people at work (possibly more than I realise as I have no idea who some are)- did pass the lead singer of Black Stone Cherry in his PJ's recently- think he'd been for a pee (or something more chunky) and was going back to the tour bus.

Used to see Rat from Neds Atomic Dustbin in the pub- playing pinball

You always see them when you're in London, it's difficult to go without seeing at least ONE celebrity.

My worst one was Ralph Fiennes, I almost emptied an entire bottle of water over him when the tube jerked. Luckily he jumped out of the way in time. He wasn't happy.

Driffield

Sitting at a set of traffic light on Edgware Rd and a Jeep Renegade pulled alongside and the passenger was Iron Mike Tyson, just time for a few words and a handshake before the lights changed.

God no! She'd turn in her grave at the very thought!

Last year we saw Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Kool and the gang while in Hollywood during some music awards thing so probably not too random. Bradley Cooper was sat at the side of us in his convertible at some traffic lights and I shared a lift with Jerry Springer in Vegas.

A fair few footballers. Beckham, Tim Howard, Brad Friedel, Diego Forlan, Carlos Tevez and Claudio Reyna. Others...hmmm...Donnie Osmond is the only one I can think of. Oh and one other so called comedian who I refuse to name as shouldn't even be a celebrity. He's an unfunny prick on tv and worse in real life, that's all I will say.

"Used to see Rat from Neds Atomic Dustbin in the pub- playing pinball

Used to see Rat out loads at gigs and clubbing in Brum, we had very similar tastes in music! Hes such a genuinely nice guy, works in IT now, when Ned's reformed several years ago some solleagues went to the Astroria gig, they had no idea how famous he;d been until they saw the size of the venue and reaction of the crowd!

I wouldn't say 'bumped into' but I was in London once in the mid 90s and saw princess Diana, I was also in Leicester Square when a premiere was happening and there was tom hanks right in front of me, didn't expect that!! And I bumped into Kevin mccloud from grand designs in the lift in a hotel in Cardiff, when I worked in a hotel on the M25 about 9 years back razor ruddock stopped and even though I reconigsed him I still asked for some ID as he paid with cash, we had Tony Adams stay too.

Seen and met a few celebrities but the best was about 30 years ago when I got on the London tube at Cockfosters, it was an empty carriage except one guy sitting at one end reading a motorsports magazine. I immediately recognised him...Murray Walker and we chatted all the way into the centre of London. He was a real gent, enthusiastic as ever about his sport and quite happy to speak to a 20ish year old scruff without any hesitation or prejudice, simply sharing a conversation with a fellow petrolhead (ironically on public transport).

Great guy!!
