From cars covered in Shane Ritchie’s face to Neil Diamond’s underpants: Meet the UK’s most obsessed superfans
Prepare to be be SHOCKED by these folk who fork out on all kinds of odd memorabilia
MANY of us consider ourselves ‘fans’ - be it of a band, a TV show or a football team.
But the following people put other supporters to shame with their extreme obsessions.
From Donald Trump to Kylie Minogue, we round up some of the biggest superfans...
Malfoy Maniac
Tina Davies became a superfan of Tom Felton after watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Her home is filled with signed pictures of the actor and his Potter co-stars and she has followed Tom, who played baddie Draco Malfoy in the movie series, to events around the world.
She once even waited for four hours for the actor to emerge from an event, so she could give him a card after his DOG DIED.
Tom met Tina while filming a documentary last year, and described his biggest supporter as “sweet” and well-intentioned.
Disney Debts
The comforting childhood classics are loved by many, but no-one has quite such a claim to Disney-mania as 21-year-old Beth Louise Carr.
The student spent her entire loan on movie memorabilia and trips to the Disney amusement parks.
Beth owns THOUSANDS of Disney soft toys which are displayed all over her home in Sunderland… including in a room devoted to her Disney collection.
Her boyfriend is getting so concerned that he’s resorted to BANNING her from the stores.
And he's not taking the Mickey!
Raving Richie
Lancashire mum Mandy Crowther is so obsessed with former EastEnders star Shane Richie that she paid over £1,000 to have her car decorated with pictures of his face.
The Peugeot convertible now matches Mandy's WHEELIE BIN, which is also an homage to Shane.
If that wasn’t already outrageous enough for the soap fan, she also has a tattoo of her favourite star’s face and signature decorating her upper back.
Devoted Directioner
Jayne Bailey - and daughter Aisling - have camped out for nights at a time for One Direction tickets, and have framed items from signed hoodies to autographed £10 notes.
But by far the most noticeable part of the mum-daughter duo's 1D devotion is Jayne’s collection of TATTOOS…
She has the birth dates and signatures of all five former band members inked on her arms, as well as paying over £350 for replicas of Harry Styles’ and Louis Tomlinson’s designs on her torso.
From Fan to Fling...
After tweeting Disney star Jake T. Austin for over five years, superfan Danielle Caesar's dream came true when she became his GIRLFRIEND.
Wizards of Waverley Place actor Jake has posted social media snaps of the pair, saying he’s “crazy about her”.
And she's clearly crazy about him...
Diamond Devotee
In the world of celebrity superfans, Ian Graham has perhaps one of the weirdest items in his collection… a pair of Neil Diamond’s UNWASHED UNDERPANTS.
The singer’s biggest fan lives in Surrey, has attended over 200 Neil Diamond concerts, and dreams of opening a museum to display his collection of albums, outfits and instruments.
The used underwear, sewn to a shirt as part of a stage outfit, are Ian’s most treasured Diamond souvenir.
Napkin Nutter
She’s no celeb-stalker or Disney devotee… Slovakian Antonia Kozakova has an even weirder extreme obsession.
The 42-year-old is a napkin collector and has amassed over 63,000 serviettes.
She now intends to collect a napkin signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and one featuring her own face.
The collection, thought to be worth more than £300,000, is stacked up in her office.
