Erasure's Bell 'meets with Cheeky Girls'

Andy Bell has revealed that The Cheeky Girls said hello to him at his boyfriend's bread stall where he was helping out.

The Erasure singer had previously admitted that twin sisters Monica and Gabriela Irimia had shopped at the stand without recognising him.

Bell told The Stool Pigeon: "I'll tell you what happened, they did actually come and see me on the market stall and said hello.

"They said they were embarrassed because they didn't realise it was me. I said, 'Well, how would you anyway? Don't be embarrassed'."

Of a possible collaboration, he added: "There is one song that I wrote not so long ago called 'Going To The Shops' which I think they quite like.

"I've not seen them for ages though, so I think they might have fled the country, I'm not sure. They're really sweet, really lovely."
