Which celebs live near you

Re: Which celebs live near you

The last house I owned in England was previously owned by John Regis (the Olympic athlete) and his wife Jennifer Stoute (Rebel from 'Gladiators' - who was also in the movie 'Gladiator' and herself an Olympic athlete). They moved just a street away and were very pleasant and nice neighbours. I now live in a suburb of North Dallas - the street is named after one of the town's previous residents - wait for it - Vanilla Ice.

I kid you not.

Re: Which celebs live near you

I sold a vacuum cleaner to Jean Alexander

That would make a great book title

Nobody famous lives near me. Nobody famous lives ooop North. Robson Green lived in an estate nearby before he got famous (saw him a few times in Morrisons) and I've seen Billy Fane (bloke out of Byker Grove with the big tash) around the doors. That's as good as it gets.

Re: Which celebs live near you

I've never lived by anyone famous but my Auntie lived two doors away from the actress who played Hilda Ogden in Corrie. She always used to carry signed photos to give to people who approached her, she's very posh in real life.

My Dad also rented a place near where Julie Walters lived at one time, she was lovely and used to give him a hug whenever she saw him. She always remembered his name too, nice lady

Len Fairclough (Peter Adamson) used to drink in our local 'The Golden Eagle' in Lincoln for years until he died in 2002.

Also actor Colin McFarlane (Fast Show etc...) lived near my high school in Lincoln, and was a very friendly chap!

I'm sure there are loads of others, if I thought about it?

John Virgo used to live 2 streets away from me when i was a kid.

There's a Sainsburys not far from Granada studios where numerous Corrie stars have been found over the years.

Manchester City centre always seems to have a few celebs knocking about. Saw Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster) in M & S once and it doesn't come across on tv but she has the most gorgeous coloured eyes.

A less well known one is Adrian Morley (English rugby league international) who goes to mass at the same church as the wife.

Re: Which celebs live near you

I have seen Ken on numerous occasions, and he is indeed very funny, not like the so called alternative comedians of today. He does not tell blue jokes, you could take your grandchildren or children to see him. Very innocent fun and very funny.

I like the fact that he still lives in Liverpool, unlike so many of the other Scouse stars who use the city to promote their image, but seem to spend most of their time hanging out with the London showbiz set. Jimmy Tarbuck strikes me as one of those, and Ringo Starr was well out of order with what he said.

If I ever became famous, I'd still want to live around Stockport, I'd just buy a big posh house in Bramhall or somewhere...
