Singer Rick Astley, best known for the chart-topping single Never Gonna Give You Up, has been filming on the isle.

The 52-year-old was shooting scenes on Westbrook prom last night (August 22), making the most of the beach and the huts.

The pop singer released a new single and album in July and is due to go on a European tour from next month.

Onlookers were delighted to find that Rick was happy to chat and have photos taken. Location staff say he also asked a lot of questions about Margate.

It’s understood the filming was for the video to go with new single Try.
