I've had Cilla Black on one of my flights. I was dreading it because my friend had her on a few weeks earlier and she was horrible. However, on my flight she was ok (no PA with her though). She was sitting in 1A though and did drink only champagne (at 6am....yum!). She had a little chat with us about her villa and then spilled the champagne all over her seat and sat in it. (?) Bizarre.
I've also recently had:
Matt Damon, Kylie Minogue, Jeremy Clarkson (all lovely). Jeremy Clarkson can also be hit and miss, sometimes he's lovely, othertimes he's vile.
Today I had Helena Christiansen. She was lovely (said please and thankyou and everything! She even ate...shock!) but her boyfriend was a miserable g*t (you'd think screwing a supermodel would make you happy!).
Also had some cr*p faux celebrities recently. The worst was bloody Chantel (winner of 'celebrity' big brother). She roamed up and down the cabin hoping somebody would recognise her (nobody bothered to look up from their newspapers), and then made personal comments about other peoples appearance.... I wouldn't mind but she looked like she'd been rolled in Bisto and had orange rats tails growing out of her head!
Although the worst HAS to be the owner of my own bloody airline who didn't even acknowledge that there were Cabin Crew on HIS flights. I particularly liked the way he introduced himself to the flight deck and then walked straight passed me like I didn't exist.... w*nker... I hope he chokes on his £300 million.

Great to hear about these so called celebs. Unfortunately many of them I've never heard of, probably because most of them are much younger than my 70 years, but interesting nevertheless.
No man is greater than another. We all go the same way in the end.

Met Cilla on the set of Corrie years ago when I was a joiner. She was a royal PIA then, about 1983. No change it seems in all that time.
In a new life, I met Celine Dion and Madonna (a day or two before her wedding) on separate occasions and they have provided tons of great anecdotes because of their terrible attitudes.
By far the best celeb was a tennis player from US, Jim Courier.
All the rest were well behaved, ie didn't appear on my radar.

gents
John Cleese- After coming in from NZ, he still took the time to talk to myself and the captain. No pretensions whatsoever.
Seb Coe. Extemely pleasant guy, unassuming.
Craig David. Totally surprised me. not at all what you expect from a popstar.
Freddy Ljungsberg. Nice guy, (I note some others found his PA a little pushy)
...a complete contrast=
Michael Winner. Words fail me at how important he thinks he is, and how utterly obnoxious is his behaviour.
Jody kidd- she is michael winner in drag, by her attitude, and a complete animal. Huge disrespect for anyone and anything. Total waste of space. Family is no better.

You say "Yes everyone is equal; it's just that some are more equal than others."
Shouldn't that read "Some think that they are more equal than other?"
Treat them with the contempt that they deserve. Thankfully I’m not interested in the pop, film, TV or sports world so would not recognise a celeb if I saw one.
We once had photographers walking backwards taking photos and film shots as we left a Singapore flight at Heathrow. My wife informed me that they were filming Michael Winner and not us. I didn’t know who he was.

I had Australia's richest man, Andrew Forrest (Twiggy) and his PA. They were both lovely and down-to-earth. He even called ME sir when I asked if he wanted coffee, which I found suspiciously gratiating, especially later when I asked if he could now turn his phone off as we were soon to land and he snarled, "I am doing it now..."

Great thread people.
I heard we had Nick Faldo on board so I went down to have a chat, very nice bloke considering he is supposed to be very arrogant. I have never been star struck by anyone but as he was my childhood golfing idol I made a huge tit of myself, bumbling and stuttering all my questions. Managed to do a good landing for him, thank god!!!!

We had David Blunkett. Captain saw him approaching the aircraft.
“He’s blind isn’t he?” asks Captain.
“Yes….” says me.
“So if I open the window and shout Oi Blunkett you c*nt! he won’t know its me, will he?”
“Err no, he won’t but I’m not sure what the rest of the pax in the queue will think”
“Mmm, good point”
I understand from the CC that he behaved himself.

Top of my list, although it was now some years ago - Joanna Lumley on a charter flight to Corfu. She was every bit as delightful as one would expect, what you see is what you get, simply charming and un-assuming.

Recently on a flight to Milan, Jamie Hartman of Ben's brother.
Very nice bloke and entourage. I had to sing the lyrics in the back galley until the purser figured out who he was!
Ben was also there, which made it a bit confusing.
All together very nice chap to look after and love his music.
