At the theatre last night I sat next to ...

[Gwylan]

... Gary Lineker

I don't recall seeing a celebrity in a more unlikely place. In fact, it was so unlikely, I wasn't convinced it was him but I just looked up a picture of his wife and she was definitely the person there last night. They were stuck at the end of the row in Chichester's small theatre.

I don't think that's going to be topped - unless I bump into Brian Sewell at Wembley.

Spit it out boy, what were you there to see?

Spit it out boy, what were you there to see?

"An Evening with Gary Lineker" of course

He did tweet he was going there yesterday

Here's another out of context celebrity. My wife, daughter and I were in Cape Town in February and in the small gym in our accommodation complex. Only one person in there aside from us and it was Max Beesley.

There's no punchline. That's it.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Did he share his crisp or did you knick one and he smacked you....?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

We all want to know what he/you were watching?

 

[Twizzle]

I once sat next to Andre Agassi at the theatre, for a comedy show. He had long feathered hair, that's how long ago it was.
Dustin Hoffman was on the next table at a restaurant one time, with
his family.

I ignored these celebs, so they were well impressed.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Completely IN context, but I was sat back to back with Kaz in Nandos at the Marina last summer. Jnr Bobkin's favourite player, but we decided not to disturb him as he was deep in conversation with his female companion (or mystery blonde, if you prefer the tabloid spin).

 

[Gwylan]

It wasn't an Evening with Gary Lineker - it was The Pajama Game at Chichester.

Still really astonished, most unlikely spotting since I saw Ross Kemp at The Taming of the Shrew (presumably picking up marital guidance tips)

 

[TheFatBallBoy]

Sat next to bobby charlton and geoff hurst once

 

[TWO TRIBES]

5.30 Friday morning arrived at Gatwick for a flight to Glasgow arrived at the main terminal door and had one of those `after you mate`moments as I arrived at the door exactly the same time as someone else...
looked up and there he was... George Michael `` tracksuit and trainers, he looked knackered`` probably just slept on a plane....

 

[happypig]

I sat next to Frank Worthington on the balcony of the Sportsman at Withdean

 

[WATFORD zero]

This has just reminded me, sat next to John Bishop at Grenoble airport 3 weeks ago. Big Teeth

 

[Mr Banana]

I had to cover one of those fairly chavvy mainstream opera productions at The Theatre Royal a while ago. Alan Cork was there.

 

[Trufflehound]

I once stood behind Henry Rollins in the checkout queue in Waterstones in Brussels.

In other "standing behind celebrities in queues" news, I also once stood behind Roger de Courcey whilst waiting to pay at a petrol station on the A23. Although I did feel a bit cheated on that one, since Nookie Bear wasn't with him. Presumably he was chained up and muzzled in the boot.

 

[GNF on Tour]

tonight down the gym i was working out next to justin marshall (ex-all black)

 

[nwgull]

I saw Deidre Barlow in John Lewis in Cheadle the other week; and the original Tracy Barlow DJs at a bar in Manchester every Saturday. I've also seen Ken at the Trafford Centre, so just need Peter now to complete the set.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Back in the day l fell over Suzi Quattro's uneaten breakfast, which had been left on the floor outside her room at the Hamburg Intercontinental.

Do I get a brownie point?.

I don't think that's going to be topped - unless I bump into Brian Sewell at Wembley.

Brian Sewell at Wembley........................ followed by a chorus of "Does your boyfriend know you're here" led by a well-known female officer of the Albion Supporters' Club.
