A spokeswoman for Waitrose said:

"He was first spotted by a member of our staff in the store a couple of weekends ago.

"I understand he comes here quite regularly. Mr Depp is not the only celebrity who chooses to shop at Waitrose and Carol Vorderman is a regular customer."

Portishead Marina secretary Stephanie Mogg said:

Quote
As far as I am aware Mr Depp does not have a boat in the marina. We haven't seen him, but if a large pirate boat turns up, then we'll expect him to be on it."

The news that Mr Depp has been visiting the town prompted a frenzy of excitement in Portishead's female population.

Mum of two Sue Robinson, 49, of Exeter Road, said she was delighted that a star like Johnny Depp had been visiting.

Mrs Robinson said:

Quote
"I regularly shop at Waitrose, but will be going there every lunchtime from now on."

Johnny Depp, Carol Vordemann and Mrs Robinson. Hmmm. Sounds like it's all happening in Portishead.
