Stunned John Bishop takes selfie with coronavirus volunteer Hugh Bonneville as comedian gets his jab
JOHN Bishop got a celeb surprise when he went for his coronavirus jab today and bumped into Hugh Bonneville volunteering.
The comedian, 54, took the opportunity to get a selfie with the Downton Abbey star, 57, outside Midhurst Riverbank Medical Centre.
He wrote over the smiley snap: "You know you've picked a posh centre when Hugh Bonneville volunteers here!"
Wearing a high-vis vest, Hugh gave the thumbs up while socially distancing from John.
He also shared a snap with the comedian on social media and wrote: "My turn to ask for a selfie. @nobleandstace and I had to up our Welcome game when the one and only @johnbish100 arrived for his vaccination #MidhurstPharmacy #vaccination."
The actor got his AstraZeneca Covid jab in January at the same centre.
Wearing a volunteer top, he smiled and gave the thumbs up as the needle went into his arm.
He captioned the pic: "Midhurst’s Riverbank Medical Centre started vaccinating last week. Today Midhurst Pharmacy, led by Raj Rohilla, joined the rollout in north West Sussex.
"With former nurse Jo Wiltshire (left), Raj and retired GPs Andrew Douglas & Madelaine Litchfield (who gave me my AstraZeneca jab).
"Delighted to be part of the support team as a volunteer marshall. I get to wear hi viz and everything."
