West Brom retail boss bumps into Top Gear stars after Baggies cancellation

Free weekend West Brom fans? Watch new Top Gear host Matt LeBlanc gatecrash a wedding instead.

The Hollywood star hit the streets of London filming the latest scenes for the much-anticipated new series.

And West Bromwich Albion's head of retail Paul Bradbury captured the bizarre action as the actor gatecrashed a wedding - in a Ford Mustang.

Mr Bradbury had been due in the capital to see West Brom play Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

But the clash was postponed with the Gunners in action in the FA Cup this weekend.

So instead Mr Bradbury travelled down with wife Sarah, aged 44, for a break in London for the day.

The couple had gone for coffee on Saturday morning when they had been drawn to cameras and crews outside St Paul's Cathedral.

And the 47-year-old from Newcastle-under-Lyme was stunned when he saw the Friends star emerge and step into the muscle car.

"We looked over and there he was. We couldn't believe it really," said Mr Bradbury, who has worked for the Baggies for 10 years.

He added: "Me and my wife were looking forward to the Arsenal game and we couldn't cancel so we decided to come down anyway.

"We had just gone to get a coffee in the square and there stumbled on it all by accident really."

LeBlanc was joined by professional rally driver Ken Block as he spun around the city in a Ford Mustang.

The star and his driver gave the wedding party a wave and they roared onto the square in front of the cathedral at around 9am.

Top Gear's own account later tweeted a picture of LeBlanc taking a selfie on Tower bridge hanging outside the window of the 845bhp 4WD Hoonicorn Mustang.

Mr Bradbury added: "It was a really big car. Really loud and someone said it had been featured on Top Gear programmes before."

The show hit the headlines after radio and television present Chris Evans took the helm and brought the well known actor in as a co-presenter.

LeBlanc and Evans delighted fans when they popped into a Cannock KFC on their way to fetching some spare parts.

The new series of BBC Two show is due to start in May.
