Celebrity Encounters IIII once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

Told this story before but oh wellNearly 30 years ago, My nan was on the train between Liverpool and London I believe when a long haired Phil Collins sat with her and was chatting about this band he was in called Genesis, which she noticed was on the shirt he was wearing. She thought he was some student who had started a band. He offered her a lift at the train station but she was waiting for her husband. She left him, patting him on the shoulder saying "I hope you do very well" not really expecting him to.
Few days later she pointed him out on the TV and my dad lost it.
