Is it possible to act normal in front of celebrities?
Could someone actually talk to them as usual without making a fool of
themselves? Apparently not! The stars in our eyes clearly mush up our brains when
in the presence of a famous person, which can only result in one thing: utter
embarrassment. Read all about our shameful celebrity interactions right here...
“I was on a show was called Genius, which is where you
had to send in your own genius ideas. They chose me to be on the show because
they liked my idea; which was to have Paul McKenna as a bonus feature on DVD.
The point was for you to watch a film, and then watch the feature, where Paul hypnotises
so you forget what happened, so the next time you watch that film it’s like you’re
seeing it for the first time. I met Dave Gorman - the presenter of the show - whilst
talking about our ideas when being filmed for the programme. I had a card with
a succinct description of my idea on, but I got quite nervous and forgot about
the card, so I ended up rambling on for too long. They cut me out of the final
show, which is pretty embarrassing when you are sat there on the sofa watching
the show with your family and friends and expect to appear on TV but everyone
else is shown and not you...”

“I was at ultrasound music
festival with my friends and while we were there we met Gaz, James and Gregg
from Geordie Shore. Because I love Geordie Shore so much I had James' bare
bum as the background of my phone. When I hugged him he saw it and he asked whether
it was his bum as my wallpaper. I obviously had to say yes, but it was the most
embarrassing and awkward moment of my life!”

It isn’t just you guys though
– we girls at Student Speak have had
our fair share of awkward A-list encounters too...
“I used to work for a hospitality agency and they asked
me to help cater for an exclusive fashion event. We had to serve champagne and
fruit juice in the VIP room and during my shift George Lamb - who was
presenting the show – came in for a drink. Myself and the three other workers
excitably huddled together as he sauntered over to us looking all dapper in his
smart suit. He shook our hands and then said “So, how has your weekend been?”
whilst stopping and looking directly at me. I couldn’t seem to formulate an
answer; I just stood there staring right at him smiling like an absolute idiot.
Time stretched on and he gave me at least ten seconds to answer but I couldn’t
seem to respond, so he just walked off. I spent the rest of the day replaying
it in my mind and wondering why the hell I didn’t say anything!”

“Mark Wright made an appearance at a club that we went to
every week, and when I went over to him during the meet and greet, he was a lot
shorter than I expected! Whilst taking a photo with him I had to bend my leg
significantly to reach his height. I’m already quite tall, but I had big heels
on which didn’t help! I also looked really pale next to him, because of his
glowing Essex tan next to my English rose (super pasty) complexion!”
