Famous friends?

[VelvetClover]

I was just wondering if anyone knows or their family/friend(s) knows a famous/influential person, a celebrity or a well known politician for example?
Personally I don't...my dad knows David Gilmour (guy from Pink Floyd) and his family and a famous steel tycoon through his work.
How about everyone else? Anyone on the forum got any connections to celebrities?

[Middlesbrough]

My mum knows Roy Chubby Brown?

[VelvetClover]

My parents are really close friends with Len Goodman off Strictly Come Dancing, I've met him loads, and he's not a celebrity as such, but I'm know the principal flautist of the London Symphony Orchestra :D

[Cwmbran]

Your dad works in Gilmour's stables? A friend of mine works there.

Janet Street-Porter is a cousin of mine. A "celebrity" friend of mine is James Gunn. Had many famous acquaintances but I wouldn't call them friends. ANd I don't think you could call Terry Pratchett's daughter a celeb.

errmmm my dad's painted gareth southgate's house (ex-boro manager) but never met him. my dad's painted roy chubby brown's house (or it mighta been his son, not sure) and he met him but that's really clutching at straws. We don't know anyone famous. I went to school with Journey South (who? ye lol, band off X Factor one year)'s cousin.

[Snatter]

Eh - one of my cousins is the President of Ireland if that counts lol :D

Oh well if we're going that far, then my Uncle has done a lot of work in Sam Fox's house - adding the latest technology such as electric curtains and control pads which control absolutely everything in the room.
He also had a meeting with Vernon Kay and his wife but they wouldn't pay the amount he was asking for :P:P

[Gibs960]

My dad knew Brian Clough before he died I think... he was a policeman at football matches and one day he got invited to have a meal with Brian and his family and they just became friends! ;)

[Sharon]

That somehow does not sound realistic.

[HotelUser]

I couldn't tell you much about any famous person really, I can't even say I've ever met anyone famous :P

[Snatter]

That somehow does not sound realistic.

Can I ask why?

[Bluney]

This doesn't count but my parents are friends, and have been friends for a long time, with a couple of famous people in their hometown in Poland.
Like in famous 'soap operas' all over Poland. I thought that was kind of cool. Meh.

[Ajthedragon]
