A WINSFORD college has been gripped by celebrity fever after one of its students was linked to pop heartthrob Peter Andre.

Hartford teenager Megan Cain, a BTEC student at Mid-Cheshire College, managed to get her photo taken with the star but was unwittingly also snapped by a paparazzi photographer.

The photo ended up on the pages of celebrity news magazine Best with the headline ‘Pete smiles again – meet the mystery girl who dried his tears’.

Megan, 18, who is studying Health and Social care at the Verdin Centre in Winsford, said: “We were on an enrichment week in London, we’d already been to the theatre to see Oliver and to the London Dungeon.

“We ended up at the Sketchers shoe shop in Covent Garden where Peter Andre was opening the new store.

“My friend was next to him and asked me to take a picture of them both and he said ‘I like your hair Megan’.

“I asked him if I could have a photo with him too and he said ‘Yeah’ but someone else got a picture of us together.

“Last week my friend’s mum said that I was in Best magazine with Peter Andre – I thought I’d just be in the background but the picture was massive.”

After an appeal by the magazine for the star’s new mysterious girl to come forward, Megan has emailed them but has yet to hear back.

Other students at Mid-Cheshire College are treating Megan like a celebrity herself after her brush with A-list royalty Andre.

“I’m really embarrassed by it all everyone at college is well jealous!” she said.
