Waterloo Road's Adam Thomas called a 'gent' as he repays Sainsbury's staff for his supermarket habit

Adam Thomas has been praised by his fans as he did a good deed over the weekend. The former Emmerdale actor headed to his local Sainsbury's and decided to pay the staff back - before revealing it as compensation for his supermarket habit.

He shared a video to his Instagram Story which showed him buying lottery tickets, only to give them back to the staff working in the Greater Manchester store. One of the first employees appeared to be taken aback, laughing and refusing to take the ticket before asking: "Are you sure?"

Others also appeared surprised a graciously accepted Adam's gesture. "When you're at your local shop and find out the lottery jackpot is £191 million," he wrote across his video. "Thought I'd treat the staff to a few lucky dips," he explained with many sure to be hoping their luck would come in.
