I saw Jeremy Clarkson by the Jumbo ride at Disneyland Paris . I was too young to know who he was though.

Jay Asforis from S Club Juniors went to my school while I was there. I also went to the same school as, erm, Daniella Westbrook, one of those idiots from The Only Way is Essex, and Jack Tweed. Although they left before I even started the school, thankfully. As you probably guessed from all the ZZZZZZZ-listers, yes my school is in Essex!

I was at school with Gugu Mbatha-Raw. We knew each other a bit, but weren't exactly friends.

And there are some people who are reasonably well known in folk music whom I know a bit from the Oxford folk scene.

My ex who worked/studied in London knew/saw quite afew famous people, he went to the same catering college in London as Jamie Oliver (he was friendly with him but they werent friends as such) he met Princess Diana briefly and spotted President Ronald Reagan once.

I've met the actress Alison Steadman (she's not mega famous though) when she was filming in the area where i lived in the late 80s and i got my pic taken with her and got her autograph but i dont have them anymore, dont know what happened to them

Lol she was quite often hanging about in a car with Brian Harvey from East 17 outside my old school actually.

Two of Blazing Squad (remember them?) went to my primary school and were in my brother's class, and my brother has been on The Gadget Show. I had a little chat with Ken Doherty and a few other Snooker players at The Crucible one year when I was working there. And I've met a fair few footballers too, and where I used to work David Walliams, Artic Monkeys, Jarvis Cocker and one of the ladies from How Clean is Your House? came in so briefly chatted to them.

Gary Lineker & Emile Heskey both went to my secondary school, although not while I was there, and both Attenboroughs went to my 6th form when it was a boys school. My sister met David Attenborough when she was at uni cos she went to the same college of cambridge as him and she was on the ents committee so when he visited for a formal dinner she got to sit next to him!
lol I have loads of random little ones actually; 2 of my cousins are in the muppet christmas carol (1st and 3rd young scrooge in the past) and the telly I'm watching now used to belong to Ron Atkinson (he was a friend of my boyfriend's dad)

My grandad was a news reader for both BBC and ITV

Um... Englebert Humperdink (ok I have no idea if I spelt that right) lives a coupla miles away

And the England rugby coach John Wells lives down the road, his son was in my class

I've had my photo taken by Arthur Edwards, the Royal Photographer for the sun, look him up, he's done some wonderful photos. We used to have dinner with him at Christmas.

Oh and I've met several Leicester footie players as loads of them sent their kids to my primary.

I think that's about all of my claims to fame really!

Haha that reminds me I met Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl Kennedy) in a Walkabout in Sheffield after seeing him play with his band (The Right Prescription). We waited ages out the back for him too with about ten hardcore fans. He is a hero of mine, can't believe I forgot to mention it earlier.

My grandfather taught the Sultan of Brunei (and his brother, Prince Jefri) to fly helicopters. And my other grandfather once gave T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) a lift on his motorbike.

I`ve met a few ex footballers years ago and got their autographs , 2 ex Saints players Mick Channon in a pub car park and Ivan Golac in my local supermarket , Alan Kennedy ex Liverpool when teams used to stay at a hotel down the road from me , would have got more autographs that day but my pen run out! And a few Sheffield Wednesday players as well at the same hotel.
I`ve got Jamie Redknapps autograph as well as a woman where I used to work her son knew his brother so she got it for me and he put my name on it.

I went to school with Michele Stodard from the band the Magic Numbers!
We weren't really friends but we had some classes together and did talk a bit!
Apparently the whole band went to the same school as me, but I didn't know any of the others!

My mum met the cast from Only Fools and Horses when they were filming outside her house and when they had a break they went in for a cup of tea. She was pregnant at the time with me so I didn't really meet them! David Jason asked how many weeks she was, it was 3 weeks to go, and he said 'What are you giving birth to, a mouse?!'

I was in first year of secondary school for a little bit with Glyn Wise who went on Big Brother and was runner up. He probably wouldn't remember me now but I knew a girl who he seemed quite close with. He seemed quiet, helpful, sensible and quite bright at the time, then I saw him on Big Brother and he seemed the opposite! I didn't realise it was him until near the end of the show and I had to look him up on the internet to see where he came from.

My grandad's met the queen, shook hands and chatted a little while. My mum went to school with the Proclaimers and had to dance with one when they were doing ceilidh dancing. I've hardly met any famous people though!

I had my degree handed to me by Richard Attenborough. That's about the only thing I can think of, though. (And it's not like I had a long conversation with him or anything... ).

I grew up knowing Lacy Turner. He grans my sister's godmother. I also know her sister Daisy Turner who has acted in Hollyoaks and her youngest sister Lily Harvey who will be in Eastenders soon. I liked Daisy the most as a kid, we we're most similar in our likes and personalities. I don't know them now but I hear about them a lot from their gran mostly and my mum talks to their mum still. Her nan throws a big birthday party every year which im always invited too with my parents but I never go.

I've met HearSay in Mill Hill once at a gas station and i've met David Grant at Barnet Hospital. I didn't know who he was and actually told him that lol I was like 'i've no idea who you are but I just know you're famous'. He said my honesty was really refreshing lol.

I've also met Al Fayed. I was quite sick when I was a kid so got invited to this kid's party thing at Harrods where all the kid's had something wrong with them. The room was done out amazingly and each table had different coloured baloons representing each illness/condition. I remember he was a really nice man and took time to talk to each child and we all got a choice of gift at the end of the night.
