Meanwhile, Sophia Dunn had travelled from Birmingham to celebrate her 37th birthday today. She said: “I was gobsmacked when I heard Teddy was going to be in Tamworth of all places.

“My mate phoned me after seeing it on social media and said ‘right I’m picking you up and taking you for your birthday’.

“I’ve got a birthday card with me I’m hoping to get signed. It’s just crazy that he’s here. We’re massive fans of him.

“He has just been serving potatoes from the van and meeting fans, there’s about 2,000 people here. It’s absolutely heaving.”

Another fan, Mark Watson, 29, from Tamworth. , also commented: “We don’t get many celebrities here apart from obviously the great Spudman himself.

“I don’t think the town has ever seen anything like this. I can’t believe Teddy Swims is in Tamworth, he was only at the Brits a few days ago.”

Spudman Ben Newman, 40, couldn’t hide his excitement on social media where he announced just 24 hours prior that Teddy Swims would join him at his ‘Spudwagon’, saying: “Oh my days. I am nervous. I am actually really nervous I’m meeting Teddy Swims today – It’s going to be a good day.

“He is just serving some potatoes, making some videos, chatting to you lot, meet and greet kind of thing for an hour.

“It is going to be a long day and you are all invited along for the ride. It’s going to be fun people – so nervous.”

Ben had recently faced losing his pitch at St Editha’s Square due to Tamworth Borough Council’s plans to introduce flower beds, but a dramatic U-turn by the council followed after a petition in his favour gathered over 110,000 signatures.
