Staff at a restaurant in County Durham were left surprised after receiving a visit from a former footballer and pundit on Friday (October 26) evening.
Those at Tide restaurant in Seaham on Friday night may have spotted former Lioness and Sunderland-born footballer Jill Scott enjoying a meal at the restaurant.
The former footballer and current pundit, who was also crowned Queen of the Jungle on ITV's I'm A Celeb after retirement, was pictured with staff members at the restaurant.
Sharing the image on its social media page, the venue said: "We were delighted to welcome Jill Scott - JS8 to Tide last night. We hope you had a fabulous evening."

Owners Russ and Melanie Wood – who also own the highly popular Lamp Room nearby - are at the helm of the restaurant.
