Banbury's own Melanie Brown got a pleasant surprise when a limo turned up at her house complete with a Scary Spice lookalike.
The visit was organised by Virgin Media to celebrate the launch of its new cinema ad featuring her famous namesake, Spice Girl Mel B.
Melanie Brown was picked up at her home in Winter Gardens Way in true Hollywood style, walked down a leopard print carpet and then whisked off to the local cinema in a limousine to see a screening of the advert.
Virgin trawled the electoral registers across the country to find Mel Bs to spring the surprise on.
The ad, launching the firm's movies on demand, went live in cinemas on Friday. Acting managing director Ashley Stockwell said: "We wanted to have a real laugh with our customers to celebrate the release of this fun and quirky ad.
"What better way to do it than to give Banbury's very own Mel B the star treatment?"
