Crip Celeb Spotting #1

Post categories:

Crippled Monkey | 00:00 UK time, Tuesday, 13 December 2005

I, Crippled Monkey, have been thinking that we don't have nearly enough gossip on this here weblog, particularly gossip about disabled celebrities and famous people. I've been gazing enviously at the showbiz pages of the tabloid newspapers, or at sites like , and thinking how much I'd love to do an Ouch version of them. (Needless to say, the rest of the Ouch team didn't look too convinced about this idea.)

And then an email from an Ouch reader dropped into my inbox, containing exactly the sort of celeb-spotting I was looking for!

"This morning, I saw Mat Fraser at Bank underground, looking very grumpy and mumbling 'Liverpool Street' under his breath as we were all ejected from the station."



Mat Fraser was spotted - but you can do better, surely?

OK, I admit that it's not exactly fascinating famous face gossip, but it's a start, innit? Mat Fraser, man about London town, on his way to Liverpool Street station. Er, yeah.

So now it's up to you, our dedicated readers, to improve upon this. Have you seen Francesca Martinez in your local supermarket? Professor Stephen Hawking browsing the trashy romance section in the bookshop? Tanni Grey-Thompson breaking her training regime by tucking in to a quarter-pounder with cheese and extra fries? Email your celebrity sightings to me, Crippled Monkey, at the usual address - ouch@bbc.co.uk - and we could have the start of an exciting new weblog feature! Or not. Maybe.

I saw Mat on his way home, also at Bank. He was no longer looking grumpy. He asked me what time it was. I briefly considered going "Wow, you're Mat Fraser," then decided that a) I'd look ridiculous and b) he already knows that he is.

Hmm... I'll keep a look out for any disabled celebs that happen to wander past or near to me, Crippled Monkey, then you will be the first to know about it!

I bumped into Mat on the GNER train from Darlington to London, the morning after the night before. He asked me for painkillers. So I gave him one and then he felt a lot better. What a nice man.
