A CELEBRITY was spotted at a Herefordshire supermarket by a fan who asked for a photo.

Television presenter Richard Hammond was seen shopping in Ross-on-Wye on January 20. 

Hammond was noticed by the exit to Morrisons when Paul Newman asked him for a snap together.

Mr Newman, from Cinderford in the Forest of Dean, got the chance to smile and pose with Hammond at the shop exit.

A week later on January 27, another fan Trudy Stanton-Barnes was delighted to bump into Hammond at the supermarket check-out, and managed to grab a selfie with him.

Mrs Stanton-Barnes said that Hammond was very friendly to her after she politely asked him for a photo.
