Mark Evens the TV vet has a PPL.

Chris Evans does, PPL(h) I believe.
Also believe Michael Owen, the footballer has a PPL(h)
The late Colin Mcrae....
Jurgen Klinsman... (h)
Tom Fletcher (from the mcfly band) is either a PPL or learning...
Some other band member mentioned in this months pilot mag aswell.
John seargent has some sort of flying experience also I believe.
George Bush - cpl, not really a celeb though is he, more of a knob.

I remember reading in a tabloid newspaper, following Mike Smith's helicopter crash in the late 80's that Sarah Greene (who I think was his girlfriend at the time) was "pulled from the wreckage of Mike Smith's chopper". Caused some amusement for a teenage me.

George Bush Senior: flew combat in WW2, was shot down in the Pacific and rescued by a US submarine.
I am amazed to see that Stan Stennet is still alive. I can remember laughing so much it hurt at a pantomime when I was a kid. In keeping with the thread I also flew in a Lycoming powered Auster which had been owned by him.

I remember seeing Stan Stennet at Haverfordwest a couple of years ago. He'd flown in from Swansea. I reminisced with him about the many times I had met him in 1967-8 at Speke Airport along with Hughie Green. I was working in the flight briefing room. They were both very professional as far as I could see. Happy days!
Former footballer Les Ferdinand is a helicopter pilot, and goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann has a PPL.
Niki Lauda was a commercial pilot, may still be flying. Graham Hill was another F1 pilot, as is Jack Brabham.

Martin Shaw (of ''The Professionals" fame) is a keen pilot and has presented a couple of TV programmes about flying.
By all accounts, the lads on the gate were a bit surprised when he turned up though....
