The diminutive star popped into Dee Valley Confectioners in Ballater at 1230pm today to buy some of the shops’ famous sweets.

“She said yes so I asked her for a photo. I recommended a few local restaurants but I don’t know if she went.”
Wendy saw the 48-year-old star park up her Range Rover outside the shop before coming in with two male friends, one of whom she described as “a dwarf”.
She said: “She bought a bag of Soor Plooms and a bag of fruit mixture. She was lovely, very friendly and smiley.
Mrs Anderson, also 48, added: “I was a fan when I was younger, she was my era.
“I am not sure why she was here in Ballater, I should have asked. It made my day.”
She said a number of other stars had previously visited the shop including US actor Dteve Martin and Pyton star Eric Idle.
