‘My mum and I met Michael Ball outside a theatre once after seeing him a show. I said to him ‘My Mum’s your biggest fan!’ and when he turned to her to say hi, she said, all flustered ‘I’m from the Isle of Wight’ and that was the end of that interaction.’

‘I once Met Rula Lenska at a play she did of ‘Misery’ in the UK. I was drunk and because she was very tall I stupidly said ‘Christ, it looks like you fell asleep in a greenhouse’. She was not amused and neither was my missus. Still gets brought up to this day.’

‘Met Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister). Asked him deferentially if it’d be rude to ask for a photo. He boomed back ‘It’d be a pain in the arse… but if you must!’ He was joking ofc, but for a split second I thought he might order my head to be chopped off.’

‘Gervais. He made a tit of himself by being rude and not say thank you.

Was serving him in McDonald’s and he wanted a cheeseburger. I said none were ready but there was a double cheeseburger ready and did he want that. Grunted ‘Go on then’ in a very condescending way and when I handed it over he snatched it out of my hand and walked off in a huff.’

‘A car pulled up next to me (on a pedestrianised street) when I was out on the piss. Window wound down and Ronnie O’Sullivan asked me where Edens (local strip club) was. I pointed at him and told him that he was Ronnie O’Sullivan, he just wound the window back up and drove off.’

‘A friend of mine had his 40th at a well known celeb hangout. When we went for dinner David Beckham was on another table with all the kids sans Posh. I went to the toilet and, as I came out, he and I found ourselves together in a very narrow corridor.

I drunkenly told him I was sorry to disturb but I thought he was a ‘fucking legend’. He responded in his little high pitched voice ‘Fanks very much mate’ which at the same time impressed me as he was so nice but also disappointed me as he didn’t sound cool at all. He was a very attractive man though.’

‘I was outside Stringfellows trying to get in after a night out. Peter Stringfellow walked out. In my drunken stupor, I delightedly yelled ‘Rod Stewart! It’s Rod Stewart!’ They did not let me in.’

‘I was at Heathrow airport after getting back from a film job for Range Rover. They arranged cars to pick us up from the special exit they let celebs use when they’re trying to avoid the paparazzi. As we’re being escorted along, there’s a huge buzz behind us as a man is quickly ushered along the same way, lots of camera flashes and shouting.

We ended up walking down this long corridor with Colin Firth. I tried to make some nonchalant small talk and asked him how his trip was, and he said very nice thank you, I was at an awards thing and won something. I replied with ‘Well done, I hope it was something you wanted, haha’. He smiled and wished us a good day and left.

What I didn’t realise was it had been the Oscars the night before, and he had won Best Actor for The King’s Speech.’
