CELEBRITY chef Marco Pierre White and television presenter Julia Bradbury were due to visit Weymouth today to film episodes for new programmes.
Hell's Kitchen star Marco will cook a locally-caught lobster before dining at the Seagull Café in Trinity Street for a new ITV1 series called Marco's Great British Feast which celebrates the finest ingredients the nation has to offer.
The series will climax in a feast for more than 200 lucky diners from around the country.
Meanwhile, BBC presenter Julia, who will be in town for three days, will walk the old trackbed of the Weymouth to Portland railway for a series about Britain's forgotten rail lines called Railroad Walks.
Julia Bradbury presented the popular Wainwright Walks and it is expected this new series will be just as successful.
The visits come as filming gets under way on Portland for the film The Boat That Rocked. The EastEnders TV crew also filmed in Weymouth in April.
