"I once ate 3 sh_edded wheat 
Ooooo! I once managed to get a whole tube's worth of Jaffa cakes in my mouth at once.

It was a proud moment though.  |

I was just impressed with you playing Stevie Wonder's piano so it wasn't noteworthy.
I'm also impressed that you appear to be levitating in one of your pictures.  |

Actually, that was just a side effect from the Jaffa cake incident. I kinda take it for granted now... |

I've appea_ed in the background of a road-rage programme for 3 seconds.
I've met Telly Savalas.
I was almost banned from the Savoy Hotel for using the toilets.
Oh, and I was central to some scandal which was only 1 degree of seperation from a Saturday night TV celeb.

I was genuinely on a crime stoppers advert in the 90's. I wasn't doing the crime but was in Debenhams in Swansea with my Nana, unknowingly standing by some people that were stealing clothes. I had a lilac global hyper colour t shirt on! |

"Sir David Attenborough made a film about me 
Frozen Planet  "
Ha! Yep.
Actually my real one was sharing a glass of champagne with a very sexy (and tactile) TV weather girl in the first class bar of a Virgin Atlantic 747 on the way to Miami one time - sigh |

Not really claim to fame but I had a very filthy night with a lovely man only to find out after he was a very famous porn star. Also another time I was persued by someone who I didn't have a clue who he was, only to find out he was kinda well known one night ( well very) , he found it funny, I didn't, hate lies. |

When I had a huge afro (granted many years ago) I was able to store most of my classes pens and pencils in my curls. My teacher loved it and from then on I was the darling of the English department. |

That's silly, he should've known better! Besides both are good, he shoulda been grateful for food from a beautiful woman |

"I was physically 'taken down' by three of the Pope's bodyguards, having been mistaken for an assassin...
Swiss gaurd,? "
They may have been Swiss Guardsmen, but they weren't dressed in the traditional uniforms and carrying halberds...
These chaps were wearing black suits, sunglasses, earpieces, and carrying - if my research serves me correctly - the Sig Sauer P220 9mm handgun...
They looked more like Agent Smith out of 'The Matrix' than the blokes you see in 'The Da Vinci Code'... |

Mines a bit rubbish. I had a speaking role as a kid in Emmerdale. But my parents have some good ones.
My dad had dinner with Frank Sinatra and my mum shot (with a camera) a young Kate Moss. |

They only protect him at the Vatican. The rest is done by Swiss.
I've far too many. So I'll share the ones that mean a lot to me.
Sat with Roy Walker on a flight to Belfast (only time I've really been star Struck.
Made a coffee for Rev Run of Run DMC when he mistook him for a tea boy and not an Arena Stage Manager.
Tony Iommi gave me his plectrums from the last tour BS did (and probably the last gig he'll play)
I got to be side of stage at Glasto 95' with The Prodigy
Been on Corrie, band of gold,
Was sat on 'the table' at the brits we convinced a slight ahem! Chipper, shall we say Brandon Block he'd won an award so went up on stage to collect said award. So in turn partially responsible for this bit of TV gold. Remember this was LIVE. (Non of this seven second delay)

I should make it clear that I was outside St. Peter's Basilica at the time...
Ok, so it wasn't the best idea to leap out of my wheelchair in an effort to shake hands with the Pope...well, I say 'leap'...it was more of a clumsy lunge really... |
