AN actor recalled his experiences of Bradford as he attended a district festival for the first time.

Thomas Turgoose, who is most famous for playing Shaun Fields in the This Is England franchise, was spotted at Bingley Festival.

The 31-year-old visited Bradford & Bingley Rugby Club on Sunday.

In an interview with the festival's media team, Thomas revealed that he in fact visits Bradford every year.

"It is my first time in Bingley. I love it," he said.

"We shot the Gallows Pole in Halifax and we spent a bit of time in Bradford.

"I travel there for the football every year. I am a Grimsby Town fan, so we play Bradford regularly."

Thomas says his visit to the festival was a "last-minute thing".

He added: "I have never been to Bingley Weekender before but my mate Chris rang me this morning (Sunday) asking if I fancied it.

"I asked the misses if we had any plans today and we hadn't so I said I am off to Bingley then.

"I saw the Lottery Winners were playing and Tom is a good friend of mine so it was nice to have a catch-up with them.

"It is a great little festival. I will definitely be back again."
