Sam Fender brightened up the morning of taxi staff working the Bank Holiday Monday shift when he stopped off to collect his breakfast from a Whitley Bay takeaway.
The North Shields singer made a trip to the popular brunch spot, Pablo Eggsgobao, to pick up his egg-filled bao bun on August 29 to the delight of staff and customers. The Station Road business was quick to hail Sam, 28, as a "local hero" following his visit and told Chronicle Live it was pleased to see the Brit Award winner was choosing to support local businesses.
A Pablo Eggsgobao spokesman said: "It’s great to have a local hero visit us and we hope he enjoyed his breakfast."
