Residents in Watford, Bushey, and Rickmansworth have managed to snap photos and selfies with some major celebrities so far this year.
While many would expect some big names to turn up at The Grove Hotel (and they have), some more surprising locations have also seen famous faces.
From Costco to ‘The Famous Alleyway’, take a look at the biggest celeb sightings so far in 2024.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
This photo with Two and a Half Men actor Ashton Kutcher was taken outside of The Fox & Hounds, in Rickmansworth High Street, on Sunday, August 4.
Alongside his wife and That 70’s Show co-star Mila Kunis and their children, he visited several locations in the town including grabbing a drink of water at Starbucks, a meal at Miller & Carter, and even passing through the town’s TikTok-viral alleyway.
Richard Gere
Richard Gere said he “really enjoyed” his meat-free tasting menu in St James Restaurant after a chauffer dropped him off at the Bushey High Street hidden gem restaurant on July 30.
The Pretty Woman star was described as a “real gentleman” and took pictures with staff after his meal.
Ross Kemp
TV hard man Ross Kemp visited Royal Voluntary Service volunteers at the Mill End Lunch Club as part of ‘Cheers for Volunteers’.
Ahead of Thank You Day - held to celebrate those who freely give to their communities on July 7 - Kemp was in Mill End, Rickmansworth, on June 25, to help out with organising lunches.
Man City Squad
The Man City squad bus passed through Watford Junction with tinted windows ahead of the FA Cup Final on June 25, but that morning a lucky young City fan had already been able to get a selfie with Jack Grealish.
Olivia also managed to get photos of the entire squad as they were staying at The Grove Hotel.
Ricky Gervais
Comedian Ricky Gervais revealed he had stopped by Costco Watford when he shared a picture taken there on X(formerly Twitter) on February 5.
He said he was helping to unload 600 bottles of Dutch Barn Vodka at the location as it was announced that the product was launching on the wholesaler’s shelves.
Gervais is co-owner of Ellers Farm, which makes Dutch Barn Vodka.
Big Brother cast
The cast of the most recent season of Celebrity Big Brother were snapped at a Watford hotel on March 3, with images being shared by The Sun before the line-up was even announced.
Former TV presenter Fern Britton, Coronation Street’s Colson Smith, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, YouTuber Zeze Mills, David Potts from Ibiza Weekender, and Strictly pro Nikita Kuzmin were among those pictured.
