For these lucky ladies cream tea turned into 'scream tea' after unexpectedly serving a rather famous customer.

Last week the Packet reported how Margaret Gough and Pam Hobbs had served a familiar looking man in the buffet car at Helston Railway - only to transpire it was none other than Hollywood film star Hugh Grant.

Pam said: “I was a bit cheeky and asked him if he would be willing to have his photograph taken and he said, 'Why don't we take one of me behind the counter with you both?' "

"So that's what happened. He was just like you expect him to be, charming, smiling and kind.”

So if they look a bit like the cats that got the cream, well, who can blame them?
