VISITORS to Swanage got a surprise when they bumped into Gogglebox star Stephen Webb.

The cheeky chappie famous for his quick wit and banter on the Channel 4 show was spotted enjoying the sights of Swanage by visitors Adam Gardner and Rachel Meadowcroft.

The couple were walking through the town centre when they spotted the star.

Mr Gardner said: “We were walking through the town centre and Rachel said to me, 'I think that was one of the guys off of Gogglebox, that just walked passed us,' I replied 'Probably just a lookalike'.

“We then turned around a few minutes later, and walked back through the town and along the beach front when Rachel said, 'I'm sure that's him there, on the other side of the road.'”

He added: “She walked across the road and asked 'Are you him?' Before she could finish he said: 'Yes, I'm him,' before they both burst out laughing.”

The couple had their photo taken with Stephen and had a chat for about ten minutes.

Mr Gardner said: “He really is a genuinely nice man, really down to earth. It was a stroke of luck to meet him in Swanage. He loves Swanage and Dorset - as we do.”
