SMALL screen star Will Mellor – who is best-known for appearing in comedy Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps – visited Leominster last night.

Will, who has also starred in Hollyoaks, Casualty and more recent comedy drama No Offence, popped in to the town's Shooters Bar while on a fishing trip to the county.

Jessica Davies, who is a barmaid at the venue, said: "He was on his annual fishing trip with his dad and other family and friends – they do a week every year and ended up in Docklow. He came to Leominster to have a night out.

"He was saying hello to everyone in the pub and said he was just here to have a good time, and to play pool. They were going to stay until Monday but the head gasket went on the car they travelled down in so they had to leave on Friday, otherwise he would have come to the beach party on Sunday."
