Olympic hero Usain Bolt surprised diners at a new Wigan restaurant by nipping in for a bite to eat.
The former 100m sprinter delighted guests at Rendezvous restaurant and bar at Astley Point, on Sunday (25 September) by posing for photos with them.
Rendezvous, which serves British food and sushi, only opened this month and shared the news of its celebrity guests on its Facebook page.
The post on Facebook said: “Happy Sunday (it was for us at Rendezvous!)
“Thank you to Usain Bolt who visited us yesterday to celebrate his friend @ricardobibigardner’s birthday Once again it was a pleasure to meet you and show you around our New Restaurant & Bar!
“We look forward to hopefully seeing you again soon!”

Bolt won eight Olympic medals in his track career and set world records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
