I think I might have just found the best (or worst) ever cr@p claim to fame...

The actor who played Sinbad in Brookside follows me on twitter.

Dina Carroll once told me to f off at Hollywood's. I have long pondered what she thought I said as she exclamation followed me telling her "you look pretty tonight"?

Actually, in this rare instance Wallingford isn't the link. The bride is friends with Konnie H since school and JC used to live above them in London some years back.


That must have been annoying for them

I went to school with Richard Ayoade (he was a couple of years above me). To be fair, we probably exchanged about three sentences in the five years we overlapped.
I used to work at a school where Matt Holland's kids were (names of kids and the school not given for obvious reasons), so saw him and his wife semi-regularly.

Going through my Mum's things recently (she was a teacher), I found a really impressive one - among the many thank you cards she kept was one from George Harrison.

I've got a few claims to fame.

Got drunk with the brand new heavies guitarist and bass player at the Ipswich Regent.
Also played bass for Rolf Harris at a fun run in Hyde park once (would like to add that i was part of westbourne jazz band and not Rolfs)
Arranged insurance for multiple footballers over the years, The nicest was Bam Bam's, the worst was ##redacted#, when he got caught without a licence.
The weirdest was Posh Spice, just before she started dating Beckham

Makes sense, James Corden's sister lives near Wallingford.

My wife has met him , I never have. Which I'm not too bothered about.


My wife was on a training course with his sister

I once told Marc Lemaar to feck off.

Just had a giant public enemy poster signed by Chuck D and Lemaar walked into me creasing my poster. Seemed the appropriate response.

More of a oh F&£k off than an aggressive insult.

I once saw Paul Mason in Sainsburys and let him go past me.

Not that Paul Mason. The other one. Britain's fattest man. He said "thank you" as he went by on his mobility scooter.

I asked for it back when I returned and one of her male friends told me to ‘walk away’.

I did.

I was in a swimming pool with Rolf Harris once and he never touched me…







or any of the other 50 or so people who were in the same pool (as far as I know).

i once knocked over Alan Davies in the street. Just outside the radio 2 building actually. he wasnt looking where he was going, went sprawling and ended up on the floor. my friend just said "youve just killed jonathan creek" - at which i just shrugged and carried on walking away

the commedian tim vine got drunk and dragged me by my hand into a nightclub. he's quite the dancer.

i did fart whilst stood next to Pam Ayres. she walked away.

i think thats it.

Niche! How did you come to own that? I love James Acaster and House of Games!


I hosted a charity event that he performed at for his Mum's charity. It was a raffle prize. A friend won it in the raffle and gave it to me for organising the event.

I've a few, but only because I'm relatively regularly interviewing actors at work-

I had a gentleman who played Spider-Man who was "jet-lagged" fall asleep on me, on stage (I'm that boring) and in my first ever "talent' interview, was given a hard time by Alex Ferns (nasty Trevor from Eastenders)

If the winner is the crappest celebrity, then I have a winner...

Former Scum Captain Matt Jackson sold me some Scampi and Lemon Nik Naks from the school tuck shop.

I also have two tragic celebrity stories:

I saw Don Estelle in Cromer Woolworths with a mobile DJ set up, playing his records and flogging them to holiday making Grannies. He was in his full Lofty from Ain't Half Hot Mum gear, and well beyond retirement age.

Bleak.

I also once saw a slimmed down Andy "The Viking" Fordham outside a Covent Garden sweet shop looking longingly in the window. His wife opened the door of an adjacent taxi and gently asked him to come back in.

Bleaker.

Did they make him give out the shirts, so you could say "Number 3, please, Ben!"

Sounds like he performed well enough not to leave your team in the drop zone in the League.
