I shook Tommy Lawrence's hand in a pub when I was seven years old, I delivered milk to Roger Hunt's house when I was about fourteen, and I had a few pints in Alec Lindsey's pub when I was old enough.

Oddly enough, I've never been a Liverpool fan and I'm not all that keen on football anyway!

Oh yes, got interviewed on French radio, in french, with a banging hangover - not sure it ever went to air :blush:

I once saw the actor who played Porkpie from Desmonds near Swiss Cottage, a few years ago.

He looked annoyed that he had been recognised, but that may be that I was really excited, but at a distance, which might have seemed wierd.

As a trainee waiter at a London hotel I had to get Tommy Cooper to appear before 800 accountants at a cabaret night - he had had the best part of a bottle of scotch and some bubbly and he REALLY didn't want to go on.

Tommy was a big chap and 6'4" tall. With the help of his wife he reluctantly went on stage after we had literally pushed him on and, as soon as he saw the audience he was fantastic.
 
I taught a friend of Prince Harry to drive.

And I once stood next to Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters in a club.

At school, my Dad was in the same drama group as Michael Caine.

Anita Roddick's (body shop founder) daughter used to live in my flat. She set fire to it one night though when she got stoned with a friend. Cornelia Parker (runner-up Turner Prize artist) lived here for a bit too! Still some of her 'early stuff' in the loft.

(And I've been in tons of films and on a lot of telly. Ner!)

I was in the same class at secondary school as a girl called Tamee Harrison who is now a pop star in Austria.

This is more of a lame to fame, but I also used to share a house with someone who worked with the brother-in-law of the keyboard player of Kajagoogoo.
