Not many myself...I've spoken to a few well-known ones, met Danny Wallace once and bumped in to Pete Postlethwaite (sp?!) at the RSC.

Derren Brown, Nick Park (wallace and gromit creator), Princess Ann, Duke of Edinborugh think thats about it.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

Yeah but they are nothing special. Derren Brown did a show and I went back stage and had a chat, Nick Park worked with a friend of a friend and I love wallace and gromit he signed a photo of wallace and gromit and so I got to see a bit filmed. The duke guy presented my DofE award to me (saw him for 2 seconds) and Princess Ann opened a new building near me and he a passing hi to me. My boyfriends list is about 2 miles long including Elton John, Kyle Monogue, (can't spell) Sugar babes, Gareth Gates, loads of acters and singers but it sort of comes with his job.

I once rang his evening show on Piccadilly to shout out to some school friends and ended up introducing a record. God, that dates me! At one time, he was esential evening listening. Can you believe that? Mind you I also remember Chris Evans on Piccadilly playing Mallett's sidekick, going out and about with the radio car as a character called "Muso".

Had a cup of tea made for me by the Duchess of Gloucester, while I was working in Kensington Palace.

Frank Warren. Nice family man with good kids. Met him lots of times in a couple of his houses. I was in his house the day before he was shot.

Jan Leeming.

Gary Mabbutt, Terry Neil(sp) Ex Arsenal manager.

Chris Waddle.

Martin Chivers.

Went to school with Bob Wilsons sons.

Used to sometimes feed Donavons chickens and geese.

Barbara Cartland.

Worked in Glen hoddles, and about 6 or 7 ex Spurs player houses.

Cecil Parkinson.

Had to introduce Peter Lilley MP to 600 people one time. I forgot one of the other guests names and wished a hole would open in the ground.

There are others, but it was a few years ago and can't remember of the top of my head. Mostly they were from sports or MPs, with a few TV stars thrown in.

Not forgetting I have met over 50 Lords or Ladies in their houses. The Lords wer usually young and obnoxious. The Ladies were older and were much chattier.

I had one rule when I met people famous. They were just normal people, so it treated them like that and expected them to treat me the same.

Hmmm....Linford Christie, Dave Grohl (!), Ken Barlow from Corrie, I served Stan Collymore and David James at work, Craig from big brother, Ive played basketball against Clive Allen (famous basketball player from the Birmingham Bullets and (i think) England), oh and i once thought i saw Sven Goran Ericsson in sainsburys, but it was during Euro 2004, and was just a lifesize promotional cut out!

I was born with Multiple Personality Disorder. Luckily, they are all me, they just dont always get along...

Hmm, Derren Brown.

James Major (John Major's Son; he once took me for a cricket lesson as I went to the same school as he, though about ten years below)

Some Scottish bloke on children's TV when I was about 9, nothing much to speak of really!
