STUNNED shoppers couldn’t believe their luck after spotting a host of famous faces filming in a major shopping centre.
Love Island star Shakira Khan, former The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex and JLS singer JB Gill were all caught on camera.

Joining the trio was ITV presenter and Lorraine stand-in host Ranvir Singh as the group filmed with a big production crew.
They appeared in high spirits as clips emerged all over TikTok after the Westquay shopping mall shoot in Southampton.
Videos showed the moment Joey joined in a giant conga dance past the stores, lead by The X Factor bandmate JB.
Passers-by captured the moment the four stood in the middle of a walkway, appearing to film a talking segment.
They look as if they’re waiting for some sort of results after completing a series of challenges around the centre.
Another angle shows Shakira talking to shoppers as the camera crew hold a boom microphone above her.
People in the TikTok comments couldn’t believe they’d missed seeing the stars filming in Southampton earlier this week.
One wrote: “Why is joey Essex in west quay.”
While someone else asked: “Why the hell was reem in west quay.”
Luckily, the user who uploaded one of the clips was able to say what they were doing, revealing they were filming Gary Lineker‘s new gameshow The Box.
The footy star’s programme – which is a format originally from Norway – is a mixture of “‘I’m a Celeb’ and ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins‘.”
The Sun exclusively revealed that Gary had signed on the dotted line for the new show.
“The Box is massive in Norway, and the rights were quickly sold to Denmark and now the UK,” a source told us in August.
“ITV are really excited about it – and believe they have finally found a worthy successor to Saturday Night Takeaway.
“They have long been sniffing around Gary and just needed to find the right format for him.
“They’re confident they’ve found that now, and the BBC’s loss is their gain.”
Celebrities are expected to take part in challenges, but they’re not meant to feel like Bushtucker Trials, a source told The Sun.
“Unlike other shows, The Box isn’t about facing fears and phobias, it’s about stepping into the unknown.

“When the boxes open they’ll be launched into a variety of unexpected, fast-paced daring, comedic and mischievous challenges.”
Other confirmed stars taking part in The Box are The Chase‘s Jenny Ryan, Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, comedian Ellie Taylor, former politician John Bercow, ex-footballer Graeme Souness and YouTube content creator Danny Aarons.
