Hey everyone,
So I have managed to get myself tickets to essentially a signing and meet & greet with Ed Sheeran...eek ✨ I've followed his music career since 2011 and this will be the first time I'm meeting him. Sooo
1) any tips on what to say / ask / do so I'm not awkward? 🤣
And 2) It got me wondering if any of you have any celebrity encounter stories? Good or bad... 🤔

I can't think of anyone famous that i have met....a few ex footballers i think
Have you met any other famous people before in the past?
Best of luck @Gemma! Ed is real lucky to finally meet his #1 fan!
Meeting Sarah Storey is so cool Morgyn, I've met Chris Hoy a couple of times and quite a few of the Scottish athletes who competed in the London 2012 Olympics as I went to their medal parade
That definitely counts Amy - you do tend to catch glimpses of random celebrities in London!
JJ, that is such a cool story and so kind of him that he gave you some VIP tickets!! How come there is a theme here of meeting footballers/ex-footballers!? I support Liverpool so would love to meet the team
@Katie12 - I've met Lewis Capaldi before (actually in the crowd of an Ed Sheeran gig lol) and I got his signature - he is such a lovely guy . And I saw the actors Daniel Mays & Jake Wood out and about!
That's such a cool story! shame about the match but sounds like a really exciting experience
You could ask him him about his day lol
I bumped into Jacqueline Wilson in a hospital toilet one time. It was a surreal experience. I was smiling like an idiot trying to stay calm. I saw her in the canteen earlier but I wasn't sure it was her so I didn't want to embarrass myself. So you could imagine my surprise when I saw her again in the toilets. We had a little chit chat and I wished her well.
@Salix_alba_2019 That must have been funny and awesome all at the same time. I would have loved to have met Jacqueline Wilson eventhough I don't think she is coming to Wales any time soon xd. I'd loved to meet all of my favourite authors and writers.
@Katie12 YES I met Lewis Capaldi!! It was mad just meeting him in the crowd and I tried to speak to him before he got bombarded by other people who noticed him. The only words I could get out were 'Lewis! I'm Scottish too!' and he was like 'ayyy sound!' and that was the extent of it
@Salix_alba_2019 @lunarcat522 - wowee two stories of meeting Jacqueline Wilson in the toilets!? What a weird coincidence haha. That must have caught you off guard! So nice that she stopped to have a chit chat with you. I also loved Jacqueline Wilson books when I was younger @Amy22
@Salix_alba_2019 - Also yesss I'm super excited to meet Ed but also reallyyyy anxious too. I just know I'm not going to get any words out
This is so true - I imagine especially in London you could walk past lots of 'celebrities' and not recognise them!
Are there any celebrities that people would love to meet?
I met Mcfly once in TGI Friday's just as they had released their first song 5 colours in her hair! My sister spotted them sitting at a table and came back to get me and my others sisters so we all went over to take a picture! My sister ended up going to a signing a few years later with the photo and got them to sign it!
Think i would forget how to speak if I saw Harry styles lol
@Gemma
I would love to meet Alice Oseman one day! I can't think of anyone else - maybe some of the Grey's Anatomy cast but they're all in America
He said he loved my necklace which I've had since I was 12 (from his first album) and he remembered me the second time I met him
Some of my friends got themselves invited to his after party which was cool. But I didn't quite have the courage to ask him that on my first meeting haha
Anyway, he was a lovely guy, so genuine and so chill I asked him for a silly picture the second time and he was like yeah sure
Loving all your celeb stories!!
So did you get invited the the party thingy in the end??
It must be pretty great for him to meet such dedicated fans! It’s amazing that you got a picture, something to remember the day by
JJ, I didn't! Turns out you had to invite yourself- they'd put you on the guest list if you asked Ed himself but I thought that would be rude lol. Oh well, maybe next time I'll be braver!!
Amy, I would love to meet David Tennant too! He's amazing
IDK if that counts tho
