A TV star spent time with staff and made them "feel so valued" during his stay at a Suffolk hotel.
Fred Sirieix, famed for his role in Channel 4's First Dates and Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip, recently spent time at Seckford Hall Hotel and Spa near Woodbridge.
The Frenchman enjoyed two meals during his stay and got to know staff members.
"He was staying in the area and I have been friends with him for a few years", said Peter Osborne, managing director of Seckford Hall Hotel and Spa, part of Heritage Rocks.
"He was there to stay for a couple of nights."
According to Mr Osborne, Fred asked for a picture to be taken with the staff.
