I used to have a job where I came into contact with many famous people. Adrian Edmonson, his amazing wife Jennifer Saunders and her friend Joanna Lumley as well as Craig Charles were all as tall as expected. Everyone else was much much smaller in real life and frequently heavier.

We’re the three member of Five because there’s only three members now or was it when they were all still together? |

She was having a birthday party with lots of balloons and jollity. She seemed very nice but didn't want to bother her on a special day. I had to navigate through/past her party to get in/out and to the loo though! |

I met Nikki Grahame at Haydock Car show a few years back. She was very poorly but absolutely lovely. Beautiful and genuinely kind. I hope she’s at peace  |

Pep Guardiola. He was with his kid, I was with mine. We just shared a bench and said the ordinary things you say when kids need to share space. When someone's with a kid, you let them be.
A much older friend had drinks with Judy Garland. |

Met David Bradley & Colin Baker at a Comic Con in 2020, and K-9. David Bradley was lovely and very chatty, Colin Baker was actually very boring and complained about his back a lot…
Met Robin Cook loads of times at the riding school where I used to work. Very boring. Have met Princess Anne. |

Uli Jon Roth of the Scorpions walked into the shop my son was working at when I went in to drop his lunch off
My son had fixed his laptop and he was collecting it, he also cam in with cream cakes and coffee for him, really sweet guy.
Later discovered that my boy was only person he trusted to fix his stuff lol
Also, it is alleged that Ryan Reynolds has a house in the next village, yet to be confirmed but it would make sense as we're not far from the Wrexham Racecourse Stadium  |
