A Hollywood actor was spotted at a traditional sweet shop while filming for an ITV show took place.
Dominic Cooper, known for his roles in Mamma Mia, Preacher, and The Devil’s Double, visited Sweet Vintage in Darwen last year while working on the new ITV drama Adultery, which was partly filmed in the town.
He posed for some quirky pictures and bought sweets for himself and the cast.
A spokesperson for Sweet Vintage said: "Well, why not have a little photo shoot with Dominic Cooper?
"I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since they were filming the show Adultery in our lovely little town.
"Who’s watched it? Go Darwen.
"Our beautiful little town getting its moment in the spotlight."
Adultery is a six-part series written by BAFTA-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst.
It first aired in October and was filmed in Darwen and Hoddlesden, with production crews spotted in the area during November and December.
Dominic Cooper stars alongside Romola Garai in the drama, which tells the story of a passionate affair that threatens to unravel the lives of two families.
Production activity was concentrated around Bank Street and Church Bank Street in Darwen.
Joe Davies, a resident who witnessed the filming, shared a photo of what appeared to be actress Romola Garai outside The Bridgewater Pub in Darwen, in November.
Michelle Richards also snapped a picture of film crews in hi-vis jackets working around Darwen.
Adultery follows Tom Kirkman and Beth Brookes, whose affair puts both families at risk while exploring themes of class, grief, and the impact of social media.
