Has anyone ever met the man himself?
What's he like in real life?

After thinking I would probably be told to foxtrot oscar...he was actually sound as a pound, Top bloke!(and dave too) :D
I was over in London last March and managed to get the autographs of REM who were heading in for the Whiley show and a got a phone pic with chris. Just decided to take a stroll over to Great Portland street after 10am Very odd hearing the radio voice in real life!

Yes three times although once was atba book signing and the other at the karaoke in London so didn't get a chance to speak to him very much. However far more impressive than that, I've been out for a beer with producer Rachel's brother! Check me and my celebrity showbiz pals!

I reckon I know someone who might be able to top that.

Last xmas we were told that the team were coming down to the ice rink where I work and I got all excited. Then at about 4.30pm that day I had a nightmarish acid reflux attack and was doubled over in pain. I had to go home early and I was gutted that i'd miss them. But they didn't turn up anyway! Not sure if I was glad about that or not...

Come on Ms Red, be honest... you were delighted they didn't turn up.

Yeah, probably. Maybe they'll visit this year! I doubt it tho somehow.

I have met Mark and Lard several times and they were my original reason for listening to Chris (cos he was on straight after them), so I'm pretty happy with that. At one time I had Lard's mobile number, which made me feel pathetically excited.

Though I have not met Chris,

I do work in the entertainment/ hospitality sector and work closely with several people who have met Chris many times and actually someone who Chris once worked for as a DJ.

They all say the same; good bloke, bit of an ego (Chris admitted that himself thousands of times!)but generally friendly, very funny and great to have a pint with!

I slept with Chris Moyles last night.

Right, stock answer out of the way, no I haven't. And not being in southern Engerlandshire the opportunity doesn't arise much either sadly. Though if it did I'd probably feel like I should just leave him alone as he wouldn't want to be bothered by the likes of me. Like I do with most celebos.

See, I like to think I'm like that - but I know that if I see anyone I recognise I turn into a bit of a fool.

I've done it a few times. I used to work in a garage and you'd get the odd celebo in (they need fuel for their big cars too you know). I'd always try and treat them like anyone else. I actually got pushed into getting the autograph of a Celtic player by a colleague once as I was just going to let him walk out the door like anyone else!

Best I had was Nick Nairn and Paul Rankin came in together. Notable as Paul asked for a packet of Golden Vagina. And Nick asked to use the staff only toilet. I figured, just that once, it was probably okay.

I mainly got Rangers players in though. We were on the most obvious line between Ibrox and their training ground, so it made sense we would get so many.

Irish chef. Shoulder length hair, facial hair. His missus is a chef too, and last I checked was on a Saturday morning programme immediately after some other cooking show where they make quick omlettes.

While I was in Spain, I watched a cookery programme (in Spanish) explain how to make, what appeared to be, cactus spagetti. This was washed down with cactus tea.

Then they got three spring onions, placed them in an oven dish, filled the dish with some kinda batter, cooked for ONE HOUR, then turned the creation upside down onto a plate and served.

All in all, UK cooking shows > Spanish cooking shows > Anthony Worrell Thomson.

Um I trip over celebs in London. I've also been invited round to tea by Willie Thorn. I arm wrestled Chesney Hawkes and Moby, not at the same time. Ralf little bought me a pint and Kelly Jones played me an acoustic version of Bartender shortly after they got back from Vietnam or wherever it was they wrote it.

Oh and the cheeky girls touched my bum.
