I met Judi Dench at a charity event for something I belong to that she was patron of. I did approach her just to say I thought she was wonderful but I think it was mutually beneficial, I was holding a sausage roll at the time and she was very keen to know where I'd got it from 😊

I was on a school art trip to a circus. We were going to sketch the animals in their cages in the interval. Then Princess Di came in with her boys and we were told we couldn't go back stage (is that the right term for a circus?) 'cos William and Harry were going instead. Bah humbug.
Same school, we were waiting to cross the road after visiting Regents Park - teachers at the front. A limo turned the corner and passed us. If the window was open I could have touched the Queen. Mind you the boys were more excited the time we were in Regents Park and the Manchester City team jogged down the path past us.

Lee i have met a couple of times at his concerts. He is always the perfect gentleman and a great performer too. Comes across as very natural and down to earth.

I met Schofe a few times at the Palladium in his Joseph days. Lovely guy and he always had time for anyone who wanted to chat.

I'm a bit behind the program but I have had a Simon Russell Beale-adjacent experience. I sat next to his father and step-mother at a performance at the Almeida (I think it was the 'Tragedy of King Richard II'... the one where they tossed buckets of mud around). His step-mother struck up a conversation since I was solo and mentioned they were there to see her husband's son. Both were obviously quite proud.

I sat next to Julie Walters during a performance of Wicked many moons ago. I'm a HUGE fan so I could barely concentrate on the show, and couldn't believe my luck when she spoke to me at the interval because she saw I was sitting on my own. All I could could get out my mouth was 'our birthdays are on the same day'. Hahahaha! She was lovely though, which was a big relief to me.....never meet your idols and all that.
