What famous people do you know or live near?

Julian Clary, Paul O'Grady,Vic Reeves used to be relatively near too. Horsey wise Tanya Larrigan who is a lovely lady and not too far from Guy Williams either aparantly, though I haven't come across him personally yet.
 
I know Ryan Jones who plays Rugby for the Neath Swansea Ospreys and also for Wales

also know Ian Gough....... he still plays for the Ospreys but he no longer plays for Wales........

JPR Williams a welsh rugby player from the 70's also has a caravan down Gower the same site as my parents
 
I have and serve Ryan Prater and famly in my pub on an almost weekly basis, I used to work for Geoff Luckett erm had a long chat will Billy Twomey at the winter champs a few years ago, Had a lenghty chat with Richard Davidson about measuring sticks and other crap back in '06
Unhorsey - went to school with Scott Hobson the Bath lock
 
I went to school with Ellie Goulding (singer) and Steven Gerrard (footballer) lives just down the road from my dad. He's such a nice guy, was out playing football with my younger cousins a few weeks back on a little village green :D

Horsey wise I have met Rosie Thomas a fair few times.
 
Used to live near Terry Nutkins and went out with one of his son's for about a week until he went back to school ha ha! :D We were quite young and all holdy handsey :p

Footballers and their associated WAGS seem to populate our lane! They sell their houses to each other when they get transferred :rolleyes:

Call me dim, but what are WAGS please?

I don't live currently near anyone famous, that I know of - famous depends on which circles you move in really I guess. I have met some famous people who are so up themselves that I am surprised they aren't actually inside out :)

Living where I used to in South Wales it was hard not to know someone or other in Rugby, half of them were born, bred, or lived there at one time or another, must have been something in the water there.

It stands for Wives and Girlfriends.

Ace from the old Gladiators series lives on my street! I also see Jeff Brazier quite often too. And the TOWIE people.
 
I used to live 3 doors away from Clive Owen in London.

When you live in London you get rather blase about soap ' stars' so at least he was / is a proper movie star.
 
Went to college with Paul McKenna....who had gift gab then! popular guy though!
Junior School with Nathan Moore from Brother Beyond..you can tell I rubbed shoulders with the intellects!
Culture club member is local............And me of course!
 
I livery with someone famous ;)

My old field used to back onto Terry Wogan's house, my 2 trashed his garden once (they broke through the fencing & raided his vegetable patch :o ) luckily he saw the funny side of it :D
 
Tim stockdale lives in the same village as i do, his yard is two fields down from ours, he came and gave a talk at my daughters primary school a few months back- which made her day :)
 
it is rumoured that Johhny Depp has just bought a house a few miles away......:p

Stephen Fry, Amanda Holden and a few others have homes in a village nearby.

Oh yeah and Michael Carroll........remember him (usually referred to as the Lotto Lout......)

You must be near me :)

I don't know him, but my Mum dated the actor Mark Strong (rock'n'rolla/sherlock holmes) when she was at college. She still has a picture of him from them and likes to tease my dad about it :D
 
I know plenty of jockeys not sure I'd class those as famous though! Johnny Depp has a house around here someplace although I've never seen him. Trigger from Only Fools and Horses is up the road and John Major isn't far away either and is often spotted in the supermarket! The butler guy from Downton Abbey has also moved this way of late. Oh and my best friends husband is an artist who has directed a film with Keira Knightley in it and is also good mates with John Hurt and Stephen Merchant both of whom were at her wedding and were lovely.

Dont think I live near anyone famous, but certainly work near a few. I have interviewed Johnny Brigggs (Mike Baldwins) son for a job, one of my staff drinks with Johnny Briggs regularly as well. Carol Voderman has a house quite close by, Eddie Large lives on a large Marina development near to work as well. I have personally shown Anneka Rice around a few houses to rent,plus a group called Lamb, who do a lot of chillout stuff as well. The company that I own was also the company featured on Location, Location, Location about 3 years ago as well. Leslie Crowther also used to live in a village close by us as well.

Its also been rumoured that Johnny Depp is looking to buy in our area ......... Oh gawd, I wil be at the front of the queue to do viewings with him ....... yum.
