TV star Robson Green was spotted by Eden police whilst filming a new series for the BBC in Cumbria.

The popular actor and TV personality was filming in Hartside when Eden police bumped into him whilst on a routine patrol.

Robson told police officers of the new series he was filming throughout Cumbria over the next few days that will be broadcast on the BBC in the future.

A spokesman for Cumbria Police said: "Officers on routine patrol from Eden Neighbourhood Police Team bumped into Robson Green today while he was filming for the BBC at Hartside.

"He was telling the officers about his latest series and filming throughout Cumbria over the next few days."

It was announced yesterday April 27 at the Creative Cities convention in Newcastle, that Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes will return for a second 15-episode series on BBC Two after its hugely successful debut earlier this year.

It has not yet been confirmed what the popular actor was filming in Cumbria.
