A family-run Richmond boat firm welcomed a pair of famous faces on board this week.

Location, Location, Location presenters Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer and their camera crew took a trip with Colliers Launches' Dunkirk little ship the Princess Freda.

John Collier told Richmond Nub News the duo were filming an intro to the hit Channel 4 shows.

"At some point over the next few months it will be aired on one of their programmes," he said.

Mr Collier had his hands full at the helm, but said they made friendly passengers as he took them on a 40-minute trip around the Thames.

"They were really nice. I was steering the boat and they were doing their piece on the back."
