Not sure he counts as a celeb as such, but Harry Kewell was on the BA 116 in CW on 29/12.

Saw Eddie Jordan of F1 fame in the T3 First lounge on New Years day evening. Later saw him boarding the BA43 to Cape Town, I didn't however see him in the F cabin, perhaps he was upstairs

Doesn't he work for the BBC Top Gear? I doubt they would pay for him to fly First = )

Speaking with some South African friends apparently he is out here quite often for various reasons, and has a house somewhere in Cape Town

"He" does!! Just wasn't sure how that definition would go down on here....seemed a nice chap though.
Obviously doesn't spend much time on here though as he was in the 'dormitory' with his family-no mini-cabin for him.

When I was flying between LHR and IAD every few months I'd often see BBC and ITV correspondents in the lounge or in CW. I don't recall seeing any in F but that could be just not noticing it.
