      I have actually! One year flying back from holiday I was sat 2 seats away from Carol Vorderman who used to host countdown. I had just got my GCSE results whilst on holiday so we were talking about my maths exam results and how I wanted to study it A-level! I even got a picture of us together in on complimentary airplane PJs!

      I have, I went to a lecture by David Attenborough and he was just as amazing as I hoped he would be.
      I can never play the Celebrity game as my wife always beats me. She used to work as a diver at the London aquarium and she met so many famous people there even Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman!

      I once bumped into Michael Stipe (REM) at Heathrow airport. We chatted. I happened to have a cassette (not a CD, a cassette) of REM’s Dead Letter Office and he signed it.

      Is that cool?

      There is no picture evidence but I still have the signed cassette so it must be true.

      Yes! I once met Mumford & Sons at a music festival. My friend was working backstage as a journalist and she knew how much I loved them so sneaked me in. They were all really lovely 🙂
