I’ve been here before,” he said. “One of my friends owns The Olive Tree so I came for that but it’s nice to come here again.

“We’ve had such a positive response from people online who are from Preston and since we’ve been here everyone has been so friendly.

“It’s been crazy, but good crazy since the show finished and it’s always nice to meet the people that voted for us and to say thank you for their support.”

The couple were there to officially open the centre’s big Autumn Weekender and dozens of the show’s watchers gathered outside Debenhams to meet the duo.

But 19-year-old Chloe Grant was first in line after winning a Fishergate competition which also included a £250 shopping spree.

There with twin 16-year-old twin sisters Megan and Olivia as well as friend Amy Hewitson, 18, Olivia said it was great to meet the couple.
