Me and RIP Lewis Collins met Lewis in a bar one day, in Kenya, got his autograph for Her in doors, she had a thing for him during the Professionals era, nice man, no airs or graces, down to earth sort earned my respect that encounter did, unlike the divas he was with, won't mention any names they are still alive I think.

My brother, who lives in Edinburgh posted on Facebook about bumping into Ed Byrne, Sue Perkins and Sir Ian Macellan within half an hour of each other during the Fringe.

“So pleased to live in this wonderful city”


Arse!

Working on the Superman set many years ago shared a table with Christopher Reeves in the Pinewood canteen. Seen many a famous person over the years in the film game.

He rules the UAE better known as Sheikh Mohammed leading race horse owner/breeder and a thoroughly decent fellow. A very high powered individual and a very close friend of the Queen through horse racing.

I managed to get within a few feet of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt outside the Albany Hotel back in 1977 after a gig at the legendary Glasgow Apollo. Alas, they were quickly ushered out of their car and into the hotel by security and didn't have time to sign their names on my newly-purchased Quo t-shirt.

I've had encounters with (prepare to be impressed ) Ronnie Corbett, Colin McMillan, the chuckle brothers, and once did some work in Roland Gift's house (local celeb)

I met Sonique backstage of a gig once. Very pleasant down to earth lady!

I have had some encounters with a couple of world known entertainers and musicians. they will both remain anonymous.
however, it has to be said that some are just like you expect them to be and others are far more refined than the telly would have you believe.

I stood beside Neil Morissey (men behaving badly) waiting to get served at a bar once when I was 20. I said 'I bet you hate strangers talking to you', he said 'yeah'.

Working in tbe entertainment industry I've seen or met a fair few famous and 'famous' people, it's never really bothered me nor have I ever got starstruck by it.

However I have worked in one famous location that had me a little bit in awe, the lecture theatre at the Royal Institution in albermarle Street, London. Which is, as you all know I'm sure, is the lecture theatre where Michael Faraday presented his work to the scuentific community.

John Higgins snooker player - Every day in my local snooker club for about 7 years lol - he was a tad better than me but i prepared him for all that clearing up at the end of a frame which has become his trademark - I achieved this by allowing him to give me a 7 up/down point start per frame start at levels then every frame he won i got 7 points start next frame ie 7 - 14 - 21 ect ect you get it. Im convince it was me who made him great lol. Really nice guy btw nothing like tv/match persona. Going on from that I have met and chatted with a lot of the professional snooker players past and present - but as its a niche sport i don't think it really counts as famous lol.

As for just fleeting meetings - Barry from Eastenders - again used to see him at least monthly at my old nightclub haunts down in Canterbury (He has a house not far away) - another decent fella.

Billy Connolly - I was working above him literally speaking when he was performing in some theatre in Scotland - met him before the show and he was quite cool

I have also met and shared a drink with a few well known DJ's during my brothers time as head of security for a big dance club in Glasgow.

My brother was in Jeremy Hunt's house last year.

He was there in a business capacity, him and his wife was there also.

My mate is just after buying a second hand E-Class that used to belong to Jacob Rees Mogg. I had it sitting at 130mph a few weeks ago.

As for my most famous meeting of a celebrity, does Martin McGuinness count?
