TWO famous televisions presenters were in Malton at the weekend for a wedding.

Dermot O’Leary, presenter of the X Factor, which started a new series on Saturday, and Holly Willoughby, who presents ITV’s This Morning, stayed at the Talbot Hotel in Malton.

The pair were driven to and from the wedding by Norton-based Station Taxis and were both happy to pose for photographs with the drivers.

Lisa Ridsdale, from Station Taxis, said: “They were both very charming and our drivers were delighted.”

While staying in Malton, Dermot also visited Groovy Moo in the Talbot Yard.

Owner Michelle Walker, said: “He’d been told that he couldn’t come to Malton and not go for a Groovy Moo so he popped across to find out what we are all about.

“He was amazing and a really nice guy who was happy to have his photo taken with staff. He said he certainly didn’t expect to find anything like Groovy Moo here in Malton.

“We can reveal he loves a Yorkshire strawberry tub, and he also took a large take home box with him; it’s made our week.”

David Macdonald, manager of the Talbot Hotel, said: “The Talbot Hotel was host to a number of bookings staying for a wedding, while we would never comment on individual guests reservations, I can say for certain that all our guests took time to enjoy the foodie delights of Malton and I am sure we shall see several of them again soon.’’ Director Tom Naylor-Leyland, added: “We were so excited to have Dermot and Holly in town and why not. Each year that passes Malton has more to offer, more to do and more to enjoy.”
