Reading about her recent accident while filming reminded me of an event about 18 years ago.
I was tipped of by a friend that they were filming at Haworth Station which was only about 3 miles from where I was living, so I gathered up my camera and got to the station, I walked straight onto the platform, where there was a little activity, then back into the booking hall, as I stood there an attractive young lady approached and said hello, we stood there for 10 minutes chatting about nothing, I assumed she was one of the crew, she asked me what my involvement was with the filming, I explained i was just a onlooker, I asked her was she crew or an extra,she explained she had a small part in the program (Which turned out to be Where the Heart is), I wished her luck as she was called away.
I walked out to the car park and spotted someone I knew from LOSW filming, he had seen me chatting to this lady and said I was very lucky as she is normally well protected from fans etc, I must of looked a little blank, he then said do you know who that is, I replied no, it was Denise Van Outen.
Most of the people disappeared on a steam train and returned about 2 hours later, that is where the filming was taking place, Miss Outen returned to a waiting car, she said to me, oh your still here, I asked for a photo raised my camera and a big burly chap moved in to stop me, she said it's okay let him have a photo, which I still have somewhere, and I managed to get it signed a few days later, if I find it I will post it here.
I think at the time she had a breakfast TV show maybe C4 or 5
