Thanet has become no stranger to celebrity visits in recent years.

And its latest flutter with showbiz came with no other than indie rock band The Kooks, who filmed the music video for their latest single in Margate.

The seaside town provides the backdrop for Pamela, with the Lido featuring heavily.

The She Moves In Her Own Way singers enjoyed a visit to the coast back in summer.

Thanks to its seaside vibes, Thanet is a magnet for filming, with a series of pop stars and film favourites making their way to the isle.

Canadian singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes featured Botany Bay in Broadstairs in the music video for his hit single There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back, which was released last summer.

Meanwhile, acting legend Sir Michael Caine was spotted filming in Margate last June for Hatton Garden.

A whole host of stars came to the district last August to shoot a film adaptation of Juliet, Naked, including Ethan Hawke, Rose Bryne and Chris O'Dowd.

Mysterious Girl singer Peter Andre and comedian Joe Pasquale also headed to Ramsgate this summer - not just to soak up the sunshine - but to also film for an episode of BBC's Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

And heartthrob actor Tom Hardy even made a trip to Dreamland to film an advert for Sky.

A number of stars have been spotted at Dreamland, including comedy favourite Harry Hill, Coronation Street's Helen Worth, and YouTube sensation Zoella.
