Under neon pink lights, Emma Thompson danced with Cambridge University students at a nightclub in the city centre on Friday (June 9).

Earlier in the day the Hollywood actress gave an honest and hilarious talk at Newnham College where she studied. She also spoke at The Cambridge Union.

She then got a chance to relive her studying days as she joined her fans at Kuda nightclub's student night.

Louise Johnson, who works for the Cambridge events company Big Fish Ents, said Thompson 'spent ages' mingling with the students.

She said: "She was just chatting to all of the students, dancing with them, totally mingling. She was just being really nice."

Emma studied English at Newnham College in 1978. During her time at the university, she joined the student comedy troupe Cambridge Footlights. She performed alongside fellow famous alumni Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie.

In 1992, Thompson won her first Oscar for Best Actress in Howards End. She landed another Academy Award in 1995 for Best Screenplay for her adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.

Louise said she didn't get to speak to the actress in the packed club, but everyone told her she was a 'really lovely lady'.
