A champion motorcycle racer, who was previously crowned 'King of the Jungle', made a surprise visit to a bike meet at a Norfolk pub.
Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty MBE, who won ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2014, visited The Ox and Plough pub in Old Buckenham on August 15 for its Two-Wheel Tuesday event on The Green, which runs weekly from April until October.
Dave Tranmer, the pub proprietor, said: "We’ve never had anyone as famous as Carl Fogarty here before.
"It was a privilege to have him here and it proves just how popular Two-Wheel Tuesday is.
"He had a great night as far as I’m concerned, it was a pleasure to have him.
“There were 1,200 bikes here, which equates to about 1,800 people on the green."
Morgan Lewis, 21, is at the pub's meet every week with her Bakeaholics sweet treats stall and she also has a shop in Attleborough.

Miss Lewis said: "He turned up at about 6.30pm on his bike and it was a big surprise - he was lovely and spoke to everyone.
"It is so nice for The Ox and Plough to have someone well-known there."
Foggy was in Norfolk on business catching up with North Lynn-based Bikesure, the motorcycle insurance broker, which he has been a brand ambassador for since 2012.
He said: “I’ve been to quite a few bike meetings over the years, but I’ve never seen anything like that one before. It was a huge turnout.
“I was mucking in, flipping a few burgers and pulling a few pints and if I’m ever down in Norfolk again I’ll definitely return."
