STARS from reality soap The Only Way is Essex dropped in for a shop at a town centre boutique.

Tanned twosome Mario Falcone and Charlie Sims spent an hour and a half at Baccus men’s clothing store in Sir Isaac’s Walk on Wednesday afternoon.

Paul Moorcroft, director, said: “I had been in contact with them before and they said they were going to pop in at some point.

“They came down and it was great, they are really excellent guys - really friendly and really cool.

“We had a few other people come into the shop who were a bit struck star struck and they did photos with them.”

Mr Moorcroft said the men bought a number of items of clothing but would not disclose details.

However, he said he was delighted the pair, regarded by fans as trend-setters, were endorsing the family-run business.
