DOUBLE Olympic champion, Dame Kelly Holmes, enjoyed dinner on the Isle of Wight on Saturday.

The athlete shared the tasting menu with five friends at Thompson's restaurant in Newport.

Owner and chef, Robert Thompson, said: "She was really chatty and friendly, and it was great to have her here with her friends.

"One of her friends suggested we take a photo near the kitchen, and they were happy for us to post it on social media. It's nice to meet someone who has achieved so much.

"They really enjoyed their visit and said they would definitely be back soon.

"It shows the Island is still buzzing and an exciting place to visit, even in the winter."
