Celeb spotting

[bennyboi]

I saw Alexa Chung getting fingered by some guy behind the bar that showed the football in williams green last year.

I thought I was being watched!

My wife bumped into Russell Grant in the Acoustic Field :-)

I read that as My wife bumed Russell Grant in the Acoustic Field

Ha ha, yeah I was going to say it was only two or three years ago.

I reckon I saw him when The Deftones were on as I didn't watch the earlier bands and it was busier for SOAD onwards.

I got off with a girl in EastEnders, but that was at Reading so I can't beat Peter Duncan.

The girl who played Nigels daughter in Eastenders (Gemma Bissix) camped next to us at the very first Reading I went to in 1999, her and her mate spent most of the weekend with us watching bands.

Thought she'd dissapeared into 'remember her from eastenders' territory before she popped up looking very glam in Hollyoaks a few years later!

Any decent spottings from last year then?  I'm very eager to bump into Eavis (any one will do) to pass on my gratitude for throwing such a great party!

Michael's always out and about during the fest, look out for a new-ish red Landrover.

Bumped into ME a few times over last years festival. 

The very lovely Laura Whitmore who was delightful and more than happy to have a photo after Sunset Sons at John Peel Tent.

Florence Welch getting dragged away by her security when she was trying to say hello to some fans during Kanye's set.

also bumped into Idris Elba (who turned out to be a bit of a w*nker) walking through Silver Hayes, my mate is a fan of Luther and obviously went and asked him for a selfie, he told him no and then went and took a bunch of photos with other people.

My friends swore they walked past Brad Pitt in 2010, 

 

they said it was 100% him as they both got minge twinges

Charlotte Church was stood behind me in a queue for calzones last year.

Saw Charlotte Church in a Bad Rabbits (check them out, they're great) gig in Newport, I was not expecting her to be behind me, dancing her arse off!

2011 - saw the great ME driving past in his land rover. The crowd whooped. Also walked past Will Young with people following him asking for a photo, he just smiled and obliged as quickly as possible before swiftly walking away.

[Mr_Egregious]

Rio Ferdinand in the queue for DJ EZ last year.

Also a bloke from Corrie who looked completely and utterly spangled ran up to me and asked the way to John Peel before running off.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Saw Rio while watching the Newham Generals last year, he was a bit of a d!ck when I asked him for a picture (me and the whole family are huge United fans) also saw Emily on the Wednesday, she was busy chatting to a few people as she was overseeing the final Pyramid build.

[I feel like Pablo]

2011: saw Wayne Rooney wearing a hoody with the hood up on the hottest day (mentalist). 

saw stefan from The Midnight Beast (bit of a who but was at the peak of their internet fame) walking past the other stage and got a photo with him

2013: watched Mumford and sons stood next to Dan from Bastille (friends got photos but felt bad bothering him when he clearly wanted to be just a part of the crowd)

2014: was camping in pennard hill (as usual) and got up to go out at the exact moment lily Allen started walking down the path with a camera crew filming the video for her single at the time. I felt awkward but three of my friends got in the video walking behind her at 2:29 and got selfies with her

Was stood next to church during run the jewels last year. Seemed nice, looked smaller in real life mind.

Did the same to me up at Silver Hayes too, bit of arrogance about him definitely...mind you if I saw me walking around off there face in circles I would probably avoid me too.....he was in just as bad of a state if I remember right.

Why mention moyles or Alexa chung in a celebrity thread  now if it was about no marks 

[Crazyfool01]

Saw Michael near the beat hotel one year in the red landrover in my drunken state I leaned in and said I was having a welly good festival and thanked him , I must go around with my eyes closed because he is the only celeb ive seen on site , or it might just be that im not bothered by anyone else , its the general public that are going to give me my festival moments not anyone else .

[Titters]

In 2002 I had a good chat with Rolf Harris and watched the Lost Prophets play table football. 

 

I am in no way affiliated with these people. 

[John the Moth]

Saw the dad from "My Parents Are Aliens" in the bar at William's Green last year  

[JanieM28]

One year we were waiting to see Jackson Browne perform on the Pyramid Stage. It was mid-afternoonish and all of of a sudden we saw Iggy Pop making his way slowly on crutches to the Viewing Platform with a leg in plaster up to his knee.  It even had 'IGGY' in big writing scrawled along the plaster.

i have since Googled to try and find out when and why his leg was broken but have never got to the bottom of it. It was definitely him though.

Jealous of all these people seeing him. If I see him at any point, I'm shouting "BRIAN!" and flinging my arms around him, doesn't matter if I'm drunk or not, what time of day it is or what I'm doing. I don't care that it's annoying or embarrassing. It's happening.

[giantkatestacks]

Last year I had a nice chat with joe rush after he had done a piece with chris evans for the bbc, chatted to rio ferdinand at gaslamp killer though I didnt know who he was. Saw Michael a few times, Emily in the SE corner, got waved to on shift by the Dalai Lama, the normal slew of minor celebs in the Park.

I was leaving the JP tent in 2013 while the strypes were on and the road was temporary blocked off to let some cars through, while I waited I'm pretty certain I saw Mick Jagger go past in a limo.

I worked in the menswear department of my local Debenhams store when I was at college/uni, and I served him about five times. Always had to be so careful not to call him Brian!!
