EMMERDALE actor Andy Moore was snapped paying a visit to Llandudno Pier yesterday (August 1) – only for a seagull to apparently steal his ice cream.

Jody Williams, a supervisor on the pier, took the above photo of Andy, who has played police officer PC Mike Swirling in the soap since May 2004.

After meeting him, Jody said: “He was nice; we chatted for a few minutes, and he said was here on holiday with his wife for a few days.

“He was shocked (that a seagull stole his ice cream) - it’s the norm to us!”

Andy has also previously featured in such programmes as Coronation Street, The Fall, and Game of Thrones.

Hailing from Manchester, he has starred in more than 200 episodes of Emmerdale since his debut on the show 19 years ago.
