A kebab van owner near Andover was surprised to see a well-known TV star pull up for "a cup of tea and something to eat".

Sedat Celebi, who is known by locals as Adam, runs Adam's best kebabs and breakfast, the only takeaway in the Kentsboro area, near Middle Wallop. 

Adam was working on Thursday when former Top Gear and Grand Tour star James May pulled up on his motorbike. This is not the first time that Adam has met James May.

James May had stopped at the van in 2022, ordering a chicken kebab and enjoying it while sitting outside. Adam initially had no idea who this man was, before being told by customers he had been a famous presenter on the TV show Top Gear.

At the time, James May told Adam he had enjoyed the food and would be back, and just a few months later, he returned on his motorbike, ordering an egg and bacon roll with a cup of tea.

Adam said: "I knew who he was this time, so I got out a stool for him to sit down and enjoy his lunch. Much like when he visited before, he had lots of customers talking to him and interacting with him. He is so polite and down to earth, and had no problems in chatting away and taking pictures.

"I didn’t have time to have a conversation with him as lots of people were wanting his attention. After he finished he jumped onto his bike and was on his way. Hopefully, he might be back again, now the weather is great for riding. He was a lovely down-to-earth bloke and it was nice to see him again."
