Someone had a sunny day today (October 21) even though it was teeming with rain today in Midsomer Norton.

Eagle eyed locals spotted a celebrity in town, at the Esso garage opposite the church.

And he was offering lucky drivers the chance to win the price of their tank of petrol.

Thank you to reader Hayley Little for the photos of this lucky landing of the In For a Penny show.

A spin off from the Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway show, celebrity Stephen Mulhern takes a quiz to the street challenging unsuspecting members of the public for a chance to win anything from the price of their petrol to a sizeable cash prize.

The ITV show with winning ways presenter Stephen, 42, seems to be one of the breakout hits of lockdown, with an average of 5.4million viewers each episode.

It was not clear whether anyone was lucky enough to win the game, or if any Midsomer Norton residents will make the cut to television fame, but if they did it would certainly have brightened up an otherwise very wet day.
