Customers at the store in Bedford were invited to sample different flavours of popchips while blindfolded - but little did they know Tom Grennan was waiting to greet them Singer Tom Grennan left fans speechless when he made a surprise appearance at a blind taste test event in his hometown of Bedford. The event, held at the local Tesco store, invited customers to sample various flavours of popchips while blindfolded. But when they removed their blindfolds, they were shocked to find themselves face-to-face with the 29-year-old pop star. Grennan, a Brit Awards nominee, had secretly swapped places with a staff member while the shoppers were sampling the "better-for-you" snack. As a special treat, Grennan presented the lucky shoppers with VIP tickets to an exclusive gig scheduled for later this month. One fan, Liz Sullivan, 46, from Bedford, was overjoyed when she recognised Grennan's voice, exclaiming: "OMG, I know whose voice that is - this is the most ridiculous day." Another fan, Lucas Johnston, 18, from Oxfordshire, instantly recognised his idol and greeted him with a warm, "How are you, boss?" The star, who now resides in London, reflected on his return to his hometown, saying: "Coming back to my hometown, where it all started for me, and pulling off this surprise for my fans was so special. I've got so many fond memories here." He added: "Teaming up with popchips to give back a little joy to the people who have supported me from day one was amazing." Grennan's fourth album, 'Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn't Want to Be', is set to be released on August 15th and his UK and Ireland tour commences on the 3rd of September at Bournemouth's BIC. Other gigs in September include a performance at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on the 4th, London's The O2 on the 6th, Cardiff's Utilita Arena on the 9th, and Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena on the 10th.
