    Worked as a toilet attendant in London for many years. Met them all. Harrison Ford wouldn't take a **** unless it was me who was handing him the toilet paper. Very nice guy too.

    Ever bump into Cheryl Cole?

    Done a few bumps with her alright but that was off duty.

    I'm not sure it is wise to admit to sexual assault on a public forum.

    He didn't say it wasn't consensual.

    I know a lot of really famous people within my own industry. They're not famous to the general public but they are extremely well respected and known around the world.

    I know Brian McFadden fairly well, would always have a chat to him. Sound skin.

    Stephen Cluxton's Dad and my own mother are first cousins. I hate the gah, so whenever he sees me and we have a chat he always seems relieved that I'm not pestering him about some football related nonsense.

    Wouldn't it be just easier to say he's your second cousin?

    Alex Jones the infowars guy is a second cousin of mine. I haven't met him. Must send him a christmas card and see if he does so in return, bet he sends great ones.

    Not myself, but a guy I know works in the music industry and hangs out with the big acts whenever they come over. He often posts pics of himself with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Biffy Clyro, Liam Gallagher, and so on. It's work for him though so he's not really phased by it.

    Guy I used to work for was Ian Dempsey's cousin (and probably still is in fairness).

    Cafe I used to frequent had a few "celeb" customers, like her from B'Witched and the singer of the Script. I met them all, but wouldn't have been friends with them.

    Can I have your autograph ;-)

    Was friends with one of the lads from Westlife through football from a good few years back, but had fallen out of touch when they got famous, started touring etc.

    He bought a house close to my parents in recent years and we've gone for the odd pint a few times since then. Decent, down to earth lad with kids in the local school and trying to love a relatively normal life.


    I've met Dan Carter through work enough times now that he remembered my name the last time we met - I was more happy with that one than I should have been :D


    I also had the privilege of sitting at a table for lunch with Joe Connolly (Galway hurling captain from 1980) over the past week. An abolsute gentleman and someone I'd happily pay to listen to tell stories about his sporting career.

    I once overheard a conversation where some people were saying that one of their friends had slept with Justin Bieber the previous night

    I also went to school with someone who's grandparent was the co-creator of the Cybermen, from Doctor Who

    That's about as close as I can come to knowing someone famous

    Sharon Osbourne
    Boy George

    Both through mutual friends early 1980's.

    I think we can safely rule out Kian Egan then? :rolleyes:
