A much-loved sports pundit has shared his love for Lowestoft while enjoying a meal in the town.

Former Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling was seen tucking into an Indian banquet at the Lowestoft Tandoori at 10.30pm on Wednesday.

The pundit known for hosting Soccer Saturday for 29 years was in Lowestoft sharing football anecdotes in an evening of nostalgia at the Marina Theatre.

After the show, he shared a photo of him at the restaurant on X and said: "Now this is an Indian!! One of the best ever."

The 68-year-old was joined by fellow pundit Bianca Westwood and comedian Jed Stone at the family-run business that has been open for 12 years.

Meheraj, who works at the restaurant, said: "We had a phone call for a table of three for 10.30pm, just before we closed, but we had no idea it was him.

"He said he loved the restaurant and that he'll come back and visit."

Stelling enjoyed the chicken bhuna, with Bianca opting for the chicken tikka madras and Stone going for the lamb sag daal.
