Celebrities you've met / seen randomly

Seen Jonathan Ross on a train to Blackpool, he got off in Bolton, only realised it was him when a bunch of blokes started shouting 'Oi, Wossy'!

Duncan Bannatyne came to visit my workplace one time, didn't even recognise him, i think he was looking at investing in the business and the management introduced him to us in the kitchen.

I've cooked for Sir Patric Moore and Gary Pallister (when he played at Man Utd).
 
Just random sights:

Sir Alan Sugar (with a rather large security guard accompanying) I walked a few yards where the Rolls was parked and I could not help noticing that the wheels were kerbed. :p
Frequently see Toby Stephens (Black Sails) and his actress wife.
Eric Clapton at Farnham Services, who clocked my genuine surprise, smiled and said 'Hello'.
 
My partner worked with the legendary Chuckle Brothers, last year. I got to meet them by default. Childhood dream realised.
 
I met Roy Walker from Catchphrase on a dry ski slope in Rosendale :)

Also went to school with Steven Gerrard but meh
 
Met most of the current BTCC drivers in and around the paddock, but also seen a few other historic drivers such as:
Emerson Fittipaldi (70s F1 champion)

At the Brands Hatch "Mini Festival" a few years back I met:
AC/DC's Brian Johnson
TV Chef James Martin
Kelvin Fletcher (Andy from Emmerdale)
and also the stunt man/man who made famous the skid parking manoeuvre - Russ Swift
 
I went to a conference at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre with work last year and got pretty much dragged out of the way by security when I tried to walk out of the main entrance at the same time as Nicola Sturgeon was walking in through the same door, not really a celebrity but pretty well known I guess.

Bumped into John Barrowman in a London side street a good few years ago.

The Mrs also managed to get a selfie with the queen driving past a few feet behind her in a Range Rover at Windsor Horse Show last year.
 
Going back a good few years...

Richard Kiel at LAX (Jaws from the 80s bond movies)
Rory Mcgrath at the eden project
My old fella! Passed in 91 but played with some greats, Bill Nelson, Saxon and loads from that era
 
Best ones are Will Smith in a Miami club. Also Sachin Tendulkar and a few other Indian cricketers when they toured England who were having dinner a my Dads friends house. Mets loads of footballers out in Manchester too.
