TV star Joey Essex has offered support to the I Love Croydon Campaign during a visit to a bar relaunch in the town.
The 21-year-old star of Only Way is Essex star was at Bar Rehab, Surrey Street, Croydon on Saturday November 12 and took time to pose with a t-shirt printed by store Time Bomb and The Croydon Guardian in the aftermath of the August riots.
He joins Mayor of London Boris Johnson who offered support in a visit to the town in August.
Lauren Wall, from Bar Rehab, said: “We were shocked at the response it generated. Girls were treating him like a superstar and were actually trying to grab him,” she said.
“Joey and his mates had a great time and said they will be back soon hopefully, and overall the night was a success.”
