Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher paid a surprise visit to Whinlatter at the weekend.

Mr Fletcher, who played Andy Sugden in the TV soap, spent a day with friends mountain biking around Whinlatter Forest.

He called into Siskins Cafe at the visitor centre for a hot chocolate.

Staff member, Garry Greenhow, 41, of Aspatria, said he was very friendly.

He added: "We asked if we could have a photo with him and he obliged willingly."
