MEDIA students from Ludlow College got more than they bargained for on a recent study trip to London when they bumped into Gavin and Stacey star James Corden.

A group of students spotted the TV star while spending some free time in Camden.

James, who recently presented The Brit Awards, stopped to chat with students and posed for photos.

“We try to run a range of study trips for students and our recent visit to London was fantastic,” said media tutor Caroline Birks.

“Our group went to the BBC, Movieum and saw a production of Wicked. Meeting James Corden was an unexpected highlight – he took a real interest in our students and was completely charming and very funny.”
