Harry Potter star Michael Gambon returned to a Kent pub and had a special visit with some lemurs.

The 81-year-old, whose many famous roles include playing Hogwarts head teacher Albus Dumbledore, was treated to the animal experience at The Fenn Bell Inn and Conservation Project in Hoo.

His surprise visit came less than two months after his first visit when he dropped in for a cup of tea.

This time he was lucky enough to feed some of the zoo's furry friends and meet them up close.

Owner of The Fenn Bell, Andy Cowell, said: "When he came to us the first time we said we'd love to see him again.

"So when he turned up a second time we gave him a special treat, seeing the lemurs up close.

"It was a bit of a shock to see him again so soon, he must have enjoyed his last visit to have returned so quickly.

"He never lets us know when he is coming so it is always a surprise.

"He is very knowledgeable of his animals so he loved getting up close to our lemurs."

The actor quite often spends his time off-screen in the village of Meopham, near Gravesend.
