Two well-known celebrities have been spotted in the Lake District.

The separate incidents were captured by members of the public as Cumbria re-opened after recent Covid-19 travel restrictions were lifted.

Aaron Wildig and his girlfriend passed comedian Jack Whitehall and his father Michael Whitehall while walking on Catbells. The famous father and son duo were seen walking with alpacas, ahead of the new series Travels with my Father.

Filming for series five of the popular Netflix programme is currently underway and is set to be released later this year.

With the pandemic limiting overseas travel, filming for the television programme has been focused closer to home and it was revealed earlier this year the Travels with my Father pair would be visiting the Lake District to shoot for the series, as well as locations in Scotland and Wales.

The show follows the pair as they visit locations across the world and they soak up the local atmosphere - often resulting awkward and funny interactions.

In a separate incident, TV car aficionado Richard Hammond was also spotted in Buttermere.

The former Top Gear presenter survived a near fatal car crash while filming in 2006.

He was also airlifted to hospital after being injured in 2017 when his car overturned while filming in Switzerland.

Following the high-profile crashes, he has since revealed he is enjoying life at a slower pace.

In 2020, shortly before his 50th birthday, Hammond revealed he had bought a house in the Lake District, describing Buttermere as one of his “favourite places in the entire world”.

He normally lives with his wife Mindy and two daughters in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire.
