I was standing talking to my mate who was working on the door of a club in Edinburgh a good few years back when Marc Lemar walked up. He was extremely arrogant, really put me off him x

Closest I've been to anyone famous was probably when I had Rik Mayal about 2 inches from my face when we arguing about why his radio mic wasn't working...that was fun! Also have worked with Ian Watkins and Faye Tozer from Steps on seperate jobs so have seen the others down the pub. Did a tour with Jason Donovan (sweeney todd) - he's a laugh - sat on the train to Waterloo, him eating some sushi and randomly shouting 'wasabi' in the appropriate accent every 10-15 seconds!

Seen....... G Dubya snr, The Queen, Prince Philip, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne, Margret Thatcher, Peter Alice, most of the golfers that flew in for the Open at St Andrews and Dennis Quaid. They're the ones that spring to mind from my time in the RAF. I saw Dawn French wobbling along outside the Macdonalds in Plymouth. I've seen quite a few of the Emmerdale cast over the years as it's only a few miles from me.

Saw Kerry Katona and her husband in the airport in Tenerife last year with her husband and kids. That's when she fucked off after getting videod doing coke in her toilet.
Most of us at TOTB last year woulda seen her husband Mark Croft there in his Nissan GTR!
Had VIP couch at Britney Spears with the bird so was REALLY close to her, got a good few photos of her arse
Ciara was there so obviously saw her too. Kim kardashian also had a VIP couch near us.
Spoke to Joe Pasquale in Ayr and got him to sign some stuff. He's such a nice guy, I sent a get well soon card to his office which he signed and had written a note for my gran when she was in hospital (she loves him)
Met Libby from Neighbours and a few other members of the cast when I went to 'Ramsay Street'
Tried to trip up Nacho Novo in braehead shopping centre as he's an arrogant wee cunt and cut straight across the front of me as if I wasn't there.
See Kris Boyd kicking about in his Ferrari a few times, or at the pub in Tarbolton.
Saw Chip at TOTB last year too
And of course, I am mates with the famous/infamous Coldo

He went through a phase of wearing ripped jeans for about 6 months and every time he came in we'd all take the piss offering to have a whip round and buy him a new pair because he didn't get paid enough etc.
