WE all love a celebrity sighting — especially when it involves meeting your favourite star, snapping a selfie or even getting a treasured T-shirt signed.
While red carpets and glamorous events are the obvious places to spot the rich and famous, some celebrities have turned up in far more unexpected corners of Worcestershire.
From local pubs and supermarkets to community venues and sporting events, these surprise appearances prove that even A-listers enjoy a normal day out from time to time.

British actress Lisa Faulkner and her husband, former MasterChef judge John Torode, enjoyed tapas at The Fig Kitchen and Deli in Malvern.
Owner, Indy Singh, said he had to do a double take when he saw the pair waiting at the door to grab a bite to eat before Lisa’s show at Malvern Theatre’s Single White Female.
“I had to do a double take, and I knew John more from TV as I watch Master Chef,” he said.
“I was like, oh gosh, we are cooking for John.
“It was nerve-racking as he is professional, but we treated them like any other customer and chatted about life and Lisa’s show in Malvern.”
