Once saw Danny Dyer at a train station. I used to work in a Supermarket as a teenager and I saw the guy from the Flash cleaning stuff adverts and Frank Bruno, who everyone was crowding around quite excitedly.

Two non-events and a well known and well liked guy.

I've met gregory Isaacs before, I love his music and the man has so much talent, but in person he's very shy and acts quite paranoid, the crackusehas deffinetly got to his brain. To be honest meeting him in person was a bit of a disappointment.

I've also met Beres Hammond, now he was a truly nice guy, he seemed really sweet and genuine, meeting him made me love his music even more!

From Beyonce to Sean Paul to Shaggy, I've done work for a music awards where I've been close up and personal with all sorts

Got a polaroid with myself and Spike Lee - decent chap. I was a lot taller than him so in the photo I'm giving him a shoulder hug to show the world he is my boy

I have met quite a few celebs. However, the one that I will always remember is Thierry Henry and not for obvious reasons. He is a very polite, well brought up young man. No airs and graces there, Nicole is a very lucky woman.
