A top Italian restaurant welcomed a famous face recently.

Uno’s Trattoria is one of Newcastle’s favourite spots for pizza and pasta among locals, but celebrities are now getting in on the act.

After Charlie Hunnam was recently spotted at a top Indian restaurant, it was the turn of Peter Andre to hit the region.

Posting to social media after the visit, Uno’s said: “We had a mysterious guest join us for some lunch today…

“Of course it was Peter Andre who joined us!

“Absolutely brilliant having you in @peterandre lovely to have you!

“Never know who you might meet in Uno’s!”

After the visit, Andre took to his own social media platforms praising the kindness and friendliness of Geordies.

He added he stayed at Mailmaison on the Quayside.
