6 or 7 years ago I was working in Chelsea. At the time terry venables and sol Campbell lived about 3 houses apart and I used to see them daily. Venables was always up for a chat and very friendly. Campbell not so much.
I'm assuming Judas still lives there. True story, my best mate's wife works at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in Paediatrics and he brought his daughter in one evening. She was admitted to one of the general kids wards and he threw his toys out of the pram, demanding a private room, special privileges claiming 'do you know who I am?' and she was the one who told him how it was and he raised a formal complaint against her. He's even less popular in their household than ever before now.
I bumped into Ramon Vega coming off the Eurostar back from Paris at St Pancras last year. His wife wasn't impressed when I stopped him for a selfie!

"But I am Sol Campbell...."
The future Mayor of London and leader of the Conservative Party if it wasn't for just one thing.
Was sitting a few seats along from Welsh Rugby Legend Adam Jones at Lords a few years ago, with his hair he's not exactly someone who can hide in a crowd!
Talking of curly hair, walked past Ryan Sidebotton in High Street Kensington when he was playing for England, a lot of top sports team stay at the Royal Garden Hotel, rugby, cricket, football (e.g. Everton when they were playing Chelsea)
John Terry - pub in Chafford Hundred near where his parents lived. Was both having a piss and a kid about 8 or 9 years old walked in. Conversation went:
Kid- are you John Terry JT - yeah that's right
Kid - do you play for Chelsea JT smiling, yeah I do
Kid - and England ? JT - that's right
Kid - my dad said to tell you, you are fucking shit.

I went to an after film party in Leicester Square a few years back (the movie was The Wedding Tackle), and there were a few celebs there (Heather Mills, Vanessa Feltz, etc) plus Jo Guest, who bizarrely was giving away a pair of her knickers for charity. Later on, I was standing there drinking, chatting to my wife, and clocked Jo sitting down chatting to some friends. Checking her out, out of the corner of my eye, as one does, her left breast popped out of her fancy low-cut red dress. She looked down, slipped it back in, and carried on drinking and chatting as if it were an every day occurrence!
I served Barney Harwood in a board game shop in Greenwich about 6 years ago. Thats as exciting as it gets for me. Think he bought some dice and a pack of cards.
I was at the War and Peace Show couple of years back. The cast of Allo Allo are doing a stage show there, they had just finished the show and were off to sign autographs after, I popped into a loo to have a pee and stood next to Lieutenant Gruber (Guy Siner), he was dressed in full Nazi Uniform, we had a chat (as you do) while peeing (I didn't shake his hand) and he left, he was in a bit of a hurry, and bless him had the dot of shame...that was quiet bizarre....!
In Sainsburys car park in Bromley last week I chatted to a lady at the paying machine, I sort of recognised her and her voice was very husky. It was Helen Shapiro, someone told me she lives in Chislehurst.
I saw Liam Gallagher with his kids in Disneys Animal kingdom about 10 years ago. There was a northern family in the que next to us and when Liam walked past the dad shouted over to him "There are many things that I Would like to say to you but I don't know how". Liam looked over grinned and done a finger slap back at him.

I've just mistaken jo guest for jo brand and nearly threw my dinner up!

She does, strange she was in her car as she's normally walking....... back to happiness........
Had a pee next to Glenn Hoddle at half-time at The Etihad, and shook hands with Ricky Hatton (he was absolutely smashed) in the toilets of some dirty Manc strip joint later the same night. Strange how my 'meetings' seem to happen in toilets. Oh, and I've shook hands with our illustrious owner (but that wasn't in the toilet).

Not sure he really counts as a celebrity though!
"Most bizarre celebrity sighting"
Walks off shaking head.

Not certain though as he had his back to the fuscia.
