My sister ALWAYS spots someone 'famous' whenever she visits me in London, usually at Euston Station. At the weekend I was at the station and I was determined to see someone famous just to compete with her! Sure enough I did! Dev from Corrie was on my train from Manchester to Euston! Okay, not exactly an A list celeb but it was enough for me!

Who have you seen and where??? x

Alex song (footballer) A406 near Golders Green

Bacary Sagna (footballer) driving in cockfosters

Charlie Slatee from eastenders in a corner shop he was LOVELY had me sending texts for him because he'd forgotten his glasses.

Stacey Slater in faith shoe shop Watford

I'm always seeing people but its the area I live in in general is near football training grounds and the eastenders studio, big brother house and also the bbc and channel 4 small studios.

I always get star struck!

Saw Tommy from corrie and Billy Jackson from eastenders together on a tube when they were both in hollyoaks

No one exciting unfortunately!

Katie Price AKA Jordan - have seen her a few times as she lives not a million miles from me, saw her in Brighton shopping but often see her in her hideous pink range rover, usually with phone in hand!

Chris Eubank - Also seen shopping in Brighton.

I've seen people I think are vaguely familiar but as don't watch a huge amount of TV, don't really know many people! plus i'm useless with names & faces!

and no one will no him, but I turned on the tv a few weeks ago, I wasn't actually looking at the screen ( and didn't know which programme was on ) but thought to myself, that voice is familiar ... it was a friend of my mums, who I have known my entire life, on the antiques roadshow !!! LOL!

In my yoof I used to go out with a drummer from a rock band, so used to see quite a lot of famous people at after gig parties and stuff. Met Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Wendy James, Debbie Harry, Suzi Quattro, and went to a house party where a famous pop star lived and made a cup of tea for MeatLoaf. Went on a tour bus with Metallica too.

How rock and roll was I?

Used to be friends with the archbishop of canterburys daughter so met him quite a few times.

I've met David beckham years ago when I used to work at the football ground.

I keep on star hunting when I go across to Cheltenham but as I'm not rich or posh I don't go to the exclusive celebrity places so never see anyone

I've literally just sat in a restaurant at Gatwick airport on the table next to Roy Caroll. My husband was very excited...apparently he used to play for Man Utd! Lost on me! Did like his wife's handbag though!

Because of where my husband used to live, he knows and has had drinks with lots of famous people. He has been in Paul Ross's bedroom with Pauls wife and we got an engagement card from June Whitfield. He has know personally lots of people and I have sat having a long conversations at cricket dinners with Lords....lol. Unfortunately we don't move in those circles anymore....lol

Some years ago we went for a meal with a friend near Reading and I was looking out the window and thought I recognise that woman....it was Lenny Henry and Dawn French

Its the same where my hubby comes from, Phil Collins goes into the supermarket in a local town and no one bats an eye. My hubby has had many a drink with celebrities and done work for lots of them too, its just part of his life, growing up in the area he came from. He did slip it in that he knew the guy who played Alan Turner in Emmerdale and hubby had helped his dad clean his chimney and he was a real gentleman. Others that he has know who are famous comedy actors have been really miserable in real life :D

Its funny when someone comes on the TV and hubby says Oh I used to drink with him in the local :laughing:

Alan Hallsal who plays Tyrone in Corrie used to live round the corner from me and nearly ran me over once, when I was on my way home from school!!!

Met Dev from Corrie in a petrol station once and he let me queue jump in front of him ;)

Saw Jamie Lomax (used to play Warren Fox in Hollyoaks) shopping in our local tesco but I was totally star struck and didn't speak to him - instead I became a giggling school girl and followed him coyley around the shop!!!!!!!

Used to see some of the Hollyoaks stars when they came to watch Westlife in concert - Kian's wife was in Hollyoaks, so lots of her co-workers used to come along but again, I was always too star struck to do anything!!!

No-one really famous but hey ho ;) xxx

I live quite close to the Trafford Centre in Manchester, and we see a lot of celebs in there especially in Selfridges, last week I saw Robbie Savage and his children looking at trainers, years ago we saw Lisa Riley (Emmerdale) we see lots of footballers as also live not far from Manchester United & Manchester City's training grounds. And as we now have Media city up the road celebs are everywhere!!! Years ago I had a crush on Ian Mcshane, nearly fell to my knees a few years ago when I saw him in our local post office kissing his wife!!! His dad lives up near me so he visits. Also Matthew Kelly is from my town and he has been here a lot recently supporting a campaign to prevent the closure of our A&E!!! My hubby is always telling me who we've just walked past think I'm oblivious half the time!!!
