Rick Astley spotted at Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre ahead of gig

Pop star Rick Astley turned heads when he was spotted at a shopping centre hours before a live show.

The Never Gonna Give You Up singer was seen in Bill's restaurant at Rushden Lakes, Northamptonshire on Thursday, ahead of a gig in Nottingham.

Astley was wearing a baseball cap and glasses but it was not enough to stop one fan from recognising him.

Michael Duignan said he "knew his face looked familiar" and "had to get a selfie".

Mr Duignan was at the shopping centre with his wife and children and had sat down in a restaurant, when he spotted a familiar face outside.

He told the BBC: "We ate our food and, when paying the bill, I noticed a man in a baseball cap and glasses greeting a couple.

"I thought his face looked familiar. It was either Rick Astley or good lookalike.

"I told my wife and went outside to see if it was him by giving him a fist bump and saying 'Hey Rick, how are you":[]}
