COUNTY NEWS: Jamie Oliver spotted filming along Sussex town's seafront
Steve McKay was celebrating turning 57 with his son Matthew when he spotted Mr Oliver and his co-star and childhood friend Jimmy Doherty filming for the new series of their show Jamie and Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast on West Beach by the River Arun in Littlehampton – so the Inspire’d Flights drone hobbyist took some photos.
According to Mr McKay, they purchased some crab and cockles from Riverside Fish in Arun Parade, Littlehampton, and then prepared the meal on the beach. The episode is due to air around Christmas, he said.
