3. Geri Halliwell with her dog at Highcliffe years ago. Terry Wogan, he was sat on a bench chatting to someone (reporter) at Weymouth Harbour. I walked past, did a double take and then went back. He and the reporter then climbed down and went onto a boat and Terry was chatting with the captain. Although I didn't personally talk to him (really wish I had!) I stood watching for a while and he seemed like just a normal decent guy. This was April 2015, less than a year later he was gone.

4. Danny La Rue on a bench enjoy the sun on the cliffs. Sue Pollard at the kids’ school summer fetè ditto Val Doonican the following year. Then bumped into Vicky Mitchell in a restaurant in Poole, she was very friendly. Yes, and Harry and Gazza often. Ted Mac Dougall coming out of his house in Southbourne when I was working over the road. Little and Large filming in Canford Cliffs. And Eric Sykes and the cast filming in Shelbourne Road.

5. Rick Parfitt, Errol Brown both stayed at the hotel I was working at. Had a conversation with Errol in the lift and he insisted that I have a signed photo! Rick Parfitt was lovely, I still have one of his coat hangers he left behind.

6. Prince William, couple of years ago, went to the club I was working for (Lava & Ignite) today called cameo. Also, he did go next day to Bliss (doesn’t exist anymore)

7. The Queen and Brad Pitt, both at The Tank Museum (not together!)

8. My parents used to run a restaurant in Poole Quay. I think the most famous person that ate there was Tina Turner. Plus, Lenny Henry, Linda Lusardi , the whole of Spandau Ballet, the Redknapps, Des O’Connor! Loads of other well known people from the 80s/90s.

9. Princess Diana, she landed in our school field when she came for a visit to Dorset.
