A star from the hit TV show The Inbetweeners paid a visit to Suffolk this weekend as he grabbed a bite to eat at a music festival.
Joe Thomas, who played Simon Cooper in the E4 sitcom, stopped by Wagyu Burgers and Street Food in Bildeston.
And at the weekend at the village's BNatural festival, Wagyu Burgers and Street Food owner Joshua Wright said he "didn't want to be that guy" as he "clocked Joe Thomas straight away".

He said: "I grew up with The Inbetweeners, so I was fangirling a bit. He said the food was really good value for money.
"I asked him, are you who I think you are, to which he replied yes.
"They say don't meet your heroes, but I don't think it could have gone any better, he was really nice."
The street food van opened in 2020 and travels around Suffolk's villages and events.
The business was also recently recognised as one of the best in the UK by Love Food.

Mr Wright said: "It's completely surreal.
"I've been a chef for years, and to be put in the same category as The Beefy Boys and Meat Castles and pretty epic."
Mr Wright went on to say that receiving the recognition for four years of hard work makes it worth it: "It's my livelihood."
