Your celeb stories are brilliant, thank you for sharing!

Having grown up in and around London, I've encountered many celebs in one way or another. And while Colin Firth is one of the bigger name checks I could offer up, my favourite moment was meeting Bob Holness, if you remember him. I was around 12 or 13 at the time, a big fan of Blockbusters, so I strode up to him at a department store and said hello. He was enthusiastic and friendly and we had a brief chat. He said how delightful that I was "a really cheery chappy!" and how lovely it was to meet me.

Whether I paid the compliment back, I can't remember that bit. I was too busy being happy that he'd called me a cheery chappy. But given the situation, Bob Holness could probably tell that I was glad to meet him too. 😆

Glorious, Emily! I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it and share the experience with you. But I’m oh-so-proud that you made your own beautiful and gentle impact on someone who’s made so much of an impact on so many of us. Big love to you. Let’s get a Friday in our diaries 😘
