A LOCKSMITH in Hadleigh was shocked when a TV star made a surprise visit to his shop ... to get keys cut for his mum.

Tony Crone was working in Kat Locksmiths, on London Road, Hadleigh, when he was shocked and surprised to see Catchphrase host Stephen Mulhern in the queue today.

Stephen is also known for his regular appearances on ITV shows including Britain’s Got Talent and as host of In for a Penny, a spin-off from his segment on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

Tony said: “He was very nice and he was very friendly, everything you would expect from TV really.

“We have had a few celebrities in the store, Dom Littlewood comes in pretty regularly but usually I am not in the shop.

“It was nice he came in, we always have a good day and he helped make it better and it does make us quite proud.”

Kat Locksmiths have been open since 1993 and are a small-family-owned business, known as a staple of the town.
